    I was lucky enough to be given a bonnet that turns into a handkerchief for my baptism. Now it's my wedding, and I want to use it as my something old, but there is a problem, how do i carry it? I've seen lots of sites selling wedding hankies, but none saying how to carry them. I don't have any pockets, my hands will be full with the bouquet so I can't carry a purse, and I think it would be inappropriate to be reaching into my cleavage for a it during a very formal Catholic service. The one thing I do have is a sash at the waist. So, how do I carry my something old, especially so that I can access it if i start to cry.

    OOO I have one TOO!!! My mom's had it since i was a baby! I plan on tying mine around my bouquet (loosely) and then letting my MOH untie it for me and then i can just put my hand out towards her and she'll give it to me. I'll just clutch it tightly in my left hand for the waterworks during the ceremony. I need SOMETHING to wipe my eyes. You don't hold your bouquet the whole time anyways, you usually pass it off to your MOH

    I think it'd be hilarious if you hid it in your boobs, lol. not appropriate.  I plan on just holding mine in my left hand...nobody's going to be seeing anything but my back anyways for the most part

    I wasn't sure about this for a long time, but I just ended up wrapping it around my bouquet so it was hidden but easily accessible.

    could you give it to your moh and have her trade you for your boquet? or hang it on your boquet?
