7 cleaver ways to do ‘old, new, borrowed, & blue”

“Something old, something new; something borrowed, and something blue.” Many brides love to follow this ancient Victorian tradition. If you’re one of the many brides who want to follow this tradition on your wedding day, below are a few clever suggestions.


Something old

1. Family Veil. Wearing your grandmothers, moms or sisters veil is a cheap and clever way to create the something old and share something meaningful within your family.

2. Parents Marriage. Taking a old photo of your parents and using it in a creative way at your wedding is a great something old. This couple took a photo of themselves with their parents wedding photo. Hmmmm.... I may try this.

Something New 

3. The Dress. The wedding dress should be your something new and represent you... duhhh!!!

Something borrowed

4. His dress shirt. Borrow  your fiancés or fathers button-down shirt for the bride to wear while getting her hair and makeup done  This would be a great photo opt for your groom or a great memory for not being daddy's little girl anymore.


Something blue

5. The "I Do" bridal stickers. Theses stickers can be found for only $4.99 at your local Bed Bath & Beyond. This a creative way to throw in a hint of blue without throwing off your color scheme.

6. Blue shoes? The idea of colored shoes has became more popular in the recent years. The idea of being different and creative with blue shoes is something that will wow everyone.

7. The Nail Polish. Let your fingers nails or little toes do the  talking with a pale turquoise  or my personal favorite OPI Russian navy nail polish shade.
