Planned to but forgot the things on the wedding day. Some were incorporated so they couldn't be forgotten but not all, oh well.
I want too! I think its fun, but so far I only have my something new( wedding dress). I still have awhile before my wedding though
I want to. I have something new and something blue but not borrowed or old yet.
hmmm, I'm halfway there: the dress and jewelry are new; the shoes are borrowed. If I happen to find something old and something blue, I will follow it, but if not, I will not go through the trouble of searching for it!
Old: Does my longline bra count? I've had that for three years already. Is there a rule as to how old it should be? My earrings too. Otherwise, I'm thinking of wearing a set of pins attached with chains that I wore in my baby photos. I think I'll wear it on my bra.
New: Dress, necklace.
Borrowed: Veil from one of my BMs
Blue: The first piece of jewelry FI ever gave me, an opal and sapphire necklace I'll carry on my bouquet or more safely on my bra.
On the table where people are siging the guest book I will have a collection of apothecary and bell jars and each one will hold something... old, new, borrowed, blue.
I thought it would tie in with our eclectic, vintage theme =)
Also as we were looking for a way to honor my mom and grandparents who have died, I am using things that were theirs.

Oh I do I do ...
I have my something old - the necklace my grandmother wore for her engagement photos. It's not the greatest, but I absolutely love it and it means alot to me.
And I will have my something blue - I'm going with the perfect blue flats that look like pointe shoes ....
I guess I could go with my dress or ring for something new but I'm not sold on that idea yet and I refuse to double up ...
As for something borrowed? That's what mom's for, I'm sure she'll have something up her sleeve for that day!
We are not having the traditional wedding so I didn't feel the need to follow this particular one. I think everything that I will be wearing will be new.
Almostduffy, that is a brilliant idea!
I think I am going to do:
Something old - my dress, I bought it secondhand
Something new - my everything else practically
Something borrowed - A jade bracelet my grandmother customed for my mother and gave her just before my grandmother passed. I am wearing it in rememberance of her.
Something blue - My college roommates and I bought each other our something blue for each others wedding (we all wed within a year of each other, I am the last) and so they are giving me my something blue.
I think that I will probably collect these things if I happen upon them, but I'm not going to stress out about them. I will definitely not have a six pance in my shoe!
I didn't think I was going to have a sixpence either until an unexpected grandmother sent me one in the mail!
I am! I have the blue (shoes), have the new (dress, veil etc), I just need borrowed and old :)
Since we're having an uber traditional Korean wedding in Seoul, I want the Canadian wedding to have lots of traditional elements as well. I don't know all of them yet, but something old will be my great aunt's lace handkerchief (she has passed away), and while I was going to shred some of my father's ties to add into my bouquet (he has also passed away), I recently realized that he had a sapphire ring. I might either try to put it in my bouquet or ask FI to wear it. There is also an old Scottish custom about sewing a piece of hair into the hem of your wedding dress....and I might actually do it! I will also be carrying a decorative horse shoe which is another Scottish custom. My mum carried it when she got married, and she's passing it on to me.
I have them but it wasn't on purpose:
Old and blue: My grandma's wedding ring reset with a blue stone
new: my dress
borrowed: a pearl necklace and a beaded peurse from my aunt
I don't know what my old or borrowed things are yet. My blue will be a Boston Red Sox garter to surprise FI and everything I'm wearing will be new.
I did it, but not on purpose. I would have in either case, but mine all fell into place. My old was the lace from my moms wedding dres wrapped around the handle of my bouquet. My new were some diamond earrings from teh hubby, I borrowed my sister's Tiffany Pearl Bracelet, and my blue were my blue shoes...but those matched my BM dresses, which is why I did it in the first place. It just happened to fall into place =o)
I did just for fun. Old: my ring (heirloom) New: dress Borrowed & Blue: borrowed a ring from my best friend with a blue stone that she also wore on her wedding day.
I plan to do it for fun. So far:
Something old: pearl earrings I recieved from my parents for my college graduation (my sister wore these at her wedding as her something borrowed)
something new: my amazing Kate Spade shoes my friends all chipped in to get me
something borrowed: I will be borrowing the vintage purse I gave my sister for her wedding as her something old
something blue.....nothing yet for that.....
Yep!
Old:I'm thinking my right hand ring. I'm not sure yet!
New: Dress/lingerie
Borrowed: flower pin for my hair
Blue: shoes!
I am.
Something Old: the same slip my mom wore on her wedding day!
Something New: my dress!
Something Borrowed: the purse that my grandmother gave to my mother for her wedding day, my mom is letting me borrow it for my wedding day!
Something Blue: pair of underwear my cousin got me for engagement party, they say "I DO" in sparklies!
i did! i had all of the bases covered multiple times
old: my great-grandmother's veil
new: dress, shoes
borrowed: diamond earrings, great-grandmother's sapphire bracelet (which was actually old, borrowed, AND blue!)
blue: bracelet, bouquet
I had something new, something old and something borrowed but I rebelled against something blue because of my mother.

So my mom said that she would get me something blue... and she did. And of course she had to mention that it was "Jewish blue" and I refused to wear it. It was literally like 5 minutes before I was going to walk down the aisle and it just seemed so insane.
Looking back, I guess I could have just appeased her and worn "Jewish blue" but at the time, I just thought she was so bizarre! LOL
I'm planning to!
Old: locket from my grandmother
New: I like the idea of exchanging presents with my fiance on our wedding day and having him give me my something new.
Borrowed: my friend's veil
Blue: not sure yet - I reallllllly want to buy a sapphire right hand ring, but am resisting the temptation for now. Maybe a blue handkerchief to wrap around my bouquet instead...
Mother Library is a stickler for tradition, so it is a must that I have all four. Here is my breakdown thus far:
Something old and borrowed: My grandmother is lending me the garter she wore in her wedding to my grandfather. They were married for over fifty years.
Something new: Obviously the dress, the shoes, the jewelry...
Something blue: My "sexy little bride" undies and my shoes!
I had left my sixpence in my clutch but didn't even realize it because my wedding shoes were missing until literally 5 minutes before I walked down the aisle! I wouldn't have even had shoes to put it in! But thankfully I still had my sixpence with me that day since it was in my clutch anyways. :)
