    For me blue was easiest - my undies and my shoes.

    Old - lace hankie that my grandma carried on her wedding day.

    Borrowed - my mom's veil and a necklace from grandma.

    Are any of your bmaids married?  Can you borrow any of their jewelry that they wore?

    do you have your jewelry yet? We had a bride request that we add a blue crystal on the back of her necklace - it would work for new and blue (although you already have a new) just a thought!

    Old & Borrowed - My mom's bracelet. It also doubles as my other something blue as it has lapis in it.

    New - Dress and shoes

    Blue - A tiny little 4mm blue origami crane that I'm folding especially :) We'll have 1000 paper cranes for decor elsewhere at the reception.

    hmm great ideas ladies. My original plan was to do my shoes blue, but when I couldnt find any i settled for these awesome strappy sandals that I got in Silver rather than the patent red.

    I do have my jewelry and my veil already, so that takes both of those things out. I may ask my dad's mom for something of her mothers. I had both of my great grandparents up until a year or so ago, and that would be special.

    Keep the great ideas coming!
