Mine was not that old, just something that my grandmother owned.
Mine will be the sash from my mom's wedding dress, so it's about 30 years old.
25 years old. It's a diamond necklace that my dad gave to my mom the day I was born. He gave it to her for me to wear on my wedding day :) Luckily, it's gorgeous. Phew!
lol um I was gonna wear a pair of blue underwear I already own as my something blue and something old...They're about two years old...oops.
The idea is that you have a special something (usually a family piece--jewelry, handkerchief, bible) that had belonged to someone else.
I don't think it really even has to be really old. Maybe just something that is by a couple of years and was passed down to you would do. But it is true, when I think something old, I think pretty darn old. Like Victorian or major vintage. :) I think it is different for everyone.
I am clipping one of my late grandpa's tie clips to my bouquet. I would say it's about 60 years old.
So...is something from one of your family members not something borrowed?
I don't think it has to be that old...to me it means something sentimental that wasn't bought specifically for the wedding. Mine was a string of pearls MIL gave me a few years ago. She had originally bought them for her own mother maybe 10 years ago, after her mother died she gave them to me. So they are DH's grandmother's pearls. His grandma was very important to him so for me this was a good thing to have, even though they weren't *that* old. But grandma was old, does that count :)
I agree with mountain bride! As long as it has sentimental value, and you had it before the wedding, you're in!
My something old is a garter I bought for my junior high school prom! So it's only about 12 years old. :)
I'm using my mom's vintage clutch purse from when she was younger as my something old. She loved the idea.
my something old was vintage earrings. I wanted something from my grandmothers wedding day but she didnt have anything (since it was the depression and she just wore a suit) so I made a charm of her wedding photo to use as my "something sentimental"
My something old isnt that old. It's a diamomnd heart necklace my FI gave me last Christmas. Its very delicate and elegant.
I like mountain.bride's idea - just something you (or a family member) have had for a while that wasn't bought for the wedding.
Mine is my engagement ring, which was made in the 1920s (art deco style too!)
A tip for anyone that's having trouble finding their ‘something old’ – all natural diamonds are thousands of years old!
I wore my mom's earrings... I'd say they're about 25-30 years old.
Mine will be a necklace my grandmother gave me. She had the diamonds from her engagement ring and her mother's (my great grandmother's) wedding ring set into a gorgeous diamond pendant that I will wear on my wedding day. Between the two, some of the stones probably go back to the very late 1800s/very early 1900s.
I used an 1820 silver sixpence in my shoe. It worked for "something old," and also for "a silver sixpence in her shoe."
I'm planning on making my garter out of lace from my FI's great-grandmother's dress...I guess I'm considering this my "something old" since the lace is so old, even though the garter construction will be new. Legit?
Mine is my great grandmother's diamond reset into a setting I like. I know it's over 100 years old and I love looking at it and thinking about the things it's been through and seen.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
In your opinion, how old would something have to be for you to consider it "old"?
I'll probably wear one of the rings I inherited from my grandmother (original art-deco style, so it's probably from the 30s).
How old is your "something old"? 10 years? 25 years? 50 years? 100 years?
