Weddingbee boards

 I found this great list of ideas, just wanted to share it!

Something Old:
- Use a classic car for wedding day transportation
- Decorate with vintage silk ribbon or use it in the bride's bouquet
- Place an antique bookmark to mark ceremony readings
- Use a childhood pillow for the ring bearer's pillow
- Get a relative's monogrammed handkerchief
- Display wedding photographs of parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents at the reception
- Find an antique tussy mussy (a conical hand-held bouquet vase) for the bride's bouquet
- Get a vintage purse to match the bride's gown
- Have the wedding at a historic location
- Have the bride carry a childhood treasure she has saved (like a ring, bracelet, small doll, locket, etc.)
- Bring out the heirloom jewerly to wear like an engagement ring or wedding band, a brooch, earrings, a bracelet, a necklace, or some sparkly hair pins
- Tuck an antique hat pin into the bride's bouquet
- Carry a vintage pill box
- Sew a button from one of the bride's father's old coats on the inside of the bride's gown at the hem or place it in her purse
- Give the bride a vintage compact mirror for her purse
- Get a champagne glass to smash during the ceremony from a relative's wedding or anniversary
- Wear a headpiece, tiara, or veil that has been handed down
- Wear vintage white gloves
- Take some of mother's or grandmother's wedding gown fabric or lace and sew it inside the bride's gown or to her petticoat
- Display the parents' cake toppers or use it as the wedding cake topper
- Tuck a love letter saved by the bride's mother from the bride's father into the bride's purse
- Carry a wedding photo of parents' or grandparents' in the bride's purse (it can be copied to reduce the size if necessary)
- Display a photograph of the bride as a little girl or carry it in the bride's purse

Something Borrowed:

- Let the groom borrow grandfather's pocket watch or have the bride carry it in her purse
- Include flowers from the bride's grandparents' garden in floral arrangements at the wedding or in the bride's bouquet
- Borrow father's silk handkerchief
- Use a relative's prayer book during the ceremony
- Borrow a long-time family friends' timeshare for your honeymoon (I am doing this, but I don't feel like it counts, it's not so much part of the wedding)
- Borrow the song from the bride's (or groom's) parents' wedding to dance to
- Have the wedding at a borrowed location like the bride's parents' backyard or country club
- Borrow a headpiece or hair baubles
- Use someone else's silver knife to cut the cake with at the reception
- Wear borrowed jewelry from a happily married gal pal
