Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

Unique ideas to help you find something blue

 

So goes the old adage of good luck rituals that most brides still look forward to. While your something new is mostly likely your wedding dress, something old may be a piece of antique jewelry, and your something borrowed can be a special memento from mom, grandma or a close friend. Finding a something blue (the traditional symbol of fidelity and loyalty) is sometimes the most difficult item to locate. Here are some ideas from The Bridesmaid Handbook to consider for your something blue:

  • A blue heart or angel temporary tattoo for her to apply in a place the groom will find later
  • A blue crystal good-luck charm to pin onto your bouquet handle
  • A handkerchief with blue embroidery
  • A garter with blue trim
  • A blue toe ring
  • A blue heart sticker for the sole of your shoe
  • Some brides get light blue nail polish for their pedicures
