This
good luck saying dates back to Victorian
times and many brides try to arrange their
wedding attire accordingly.
Something
Old represents the link with the brides
family
and the past. Many brides choose to wear
a piece of
antique family jewelry or a mothers
or grandmothers
wedding gown.
Something
New represents good fortune and success
in the brides new life. The wedding
gown is often
chosen as the new item.
Something
Borrowed is to remind the bride that friends
and family will be there for her when
help is needed.
The borrowed object might be something
such as a
lace handkerchief.
Something
Blue is the symbol of faithfulness and
loyalty.
Often the blue item is the garter.
A
Silver Sixpence in her Shoe is to wish
the bride wealth.
