I don't have all my "somethings" yet but here are the ones I do have:
Something old: My Godmother's family mantilla (not the veil). The mantilla comes from Spain and it has been used at her son's wedding during the ceremony. It's 25 years old and I will be the second one to use it.
Something new: My wedding gown and veil.
Something borrowed: TBD...hopefully jewelry.
Something blue: It will probably be two items, my garter which my mom has decided to make for me and a message which my FI and I will have on the sole of our shoes.
Something old: I bought a vintage clutch on Etsy
Something new: My dress, veil, shoes & jewelry
Something borrowed: My mom gave my grandmother's hankie that she had on her wedding day to my sister. I'm borrowing it
Something blue: This I am not sure about.. there is actually a little blue crystal glued to the comb of my veil so that might be good enough.
Six Pence: I am ordering one online with the year of my grandparent's wedding. I actually bought my dress on what would have been their anniversary so I thought this was fitting.
oops i forgot the six pence! I need to find another 'mother' figure to fit my theme haha.
Im thinking my paternal grandparents. hmmm...
Something old: Nothing yet...I hope I get to wear something old! An antique veil would be more than amazing. Alas, I shall see.
Something new: My wedding dress and pearl bracelet with peridot beads from Etsy.
Something borrowed: My FMIL's pearl necklace and earrings her husband gave her years ago. I am SO honored and beyond excited to wear them :)
Something blue: Probably my heels, but I might get ivory ones instead. I am thinking about getting a navy blue garter set to wear.
My something old is my bracelet that my mom has made me... the beads are taken from an old piece of jewelry.
My something new is the dress and shoes.
My something borrowed is my sister in law's garter.
My something blue is a frienship ring that my sister is giving me when she gets here to New Zealand, as my birthday is the week before the wedding... and she has a matching one so we are both going to be wearing them on the wedding day. :)
Something old: A piece of my mother's wedding dress on the handle of my bouquet
Something new: My wedding dress
Something borrowed: to be determined...possibly jewelry from my FMIL
Something blue: little blue crystals on the back of my shoes that say "I" and "do"
Something old: My e-ring was my FI's grandmas... My FMIL gave us a broken peice of jewelry from the art neuvo period I am planning on repurposing and putting it on my bouquet
Something new: dress, shoes, jewelry
Something borrowed: ? one of my BM's offered me her veil but as my dress is ivory and a very different style from her dress I declined it... and I am thinking of going veil-less...
Something blue: probably undies.... haven't bought them yet! maybe i will sew something in my dress
Something old - not sure on this one
Something new - dress and jewellery
Something borrowed - again, not sure yet
Something blue - "I Do" stickers on the soles of my shoes
I'm still in the planning stages, but here's what I'm thinking for the old and borrowed categories.
Something old: I'm making my bouquet out of my granny's old buttons. When she passed away, my mom gave them to me. I'm so excited to be using them in such a special way.
Something borrowed: I'm hoping my mom will let me borrow my granny's gold anniversary band. Truthfully, I'd really like to wear the going steady ring my mom received from my dad, but it's a bit too big for my hand and it's silver. (My ring and jewelry are all rose gold/bronze.) I may try to incorporate it another way though.
I don't have everything yet:
Something New: My dress
Something Borrowed: My Grandmother's rosary that was handmade in Portugal, it will be wrapped around my bouquet along with my Papa's (who has passed) wedding ring. It could also technically encompass something blue, because the beads are blue and green.
Something old: my e-ring (was my mother's)
Something new: almost everything (dress, shoes, earrings, bracelets)
Something borrowed: hum, if I carry a purse, it will be my great-grandmothers, but does it count as borrowed if she's passed? The flowers in my hair are borrowed from mother Earth...
Something blue: my garter
Something old: My grandmother's bracelet wrapped into my bouquet
Something new: virtually everything else!
Something borrowed: Not sure yet... perhaps a bracelet from my sister
Something blue: I want to embroider my wedding date inside my dress in the crinoline layer. Saw this and loved it!
Something old: my grandma's ring as a RHR
Something new: Dress, shoes, etc
Something borrowed: No idea!!!
Something blue: probably a blue garter.
Something old: My grandmothers necklace. I took the penant off of it and sewed it onto my garter
Something new: Dress and new earrings
Something borrowed: I had forgotten this, but then I realized that I had borrow some bobby pens from one of my friends while my hair dresser was doing my hair...wahoo!....
Something blue: My crinoline and my second hole earrings that my husband bought for me when he was in Afghanistan.....
Something Old: My engagement ring!
Something New: The earrings my husband bought me for our wedding day!
Something Borrowed:My mother's brooch which was attached to the ribbon on my bouquet!
Something Blue: My garter!
Old: Prob my trusty old watch (which also has a blue face!)
New: Dress, accessories etc etc
Borrowed: Gotta figure this part out...drawing a blank so far. Maybe some jewelry from my mom
Blue: I love the idea of "I do" on the bottom of my shoes so I'll do that with the leftover blue crystals from my strass project!
I don't know what all of my "somethings" will be, but here's what I have so far:
Something Old: A strip from my grandmother's 1947 wedding dress to wrap my bouquet. It's lovely and vintage-y and my mother wore it when she married my dad, but I have five girl cousins and none of us feel that this gorgeous, long sleeved, satin gown is "us", so none of us planned to wear it. My mom instead offered that we have the skirt and train of the dress cut into five sections so each of us can have a piece of our Nonnie's dress to wrap our bouquets on our wedding days. It's a nice way for each of us to have our grandmother's dress with us, so there's no fighting over who wants to wear it (even though no one would have, realistically).
Something New: My gorgeous lace gown
Something Borrowed: Unsure. It will be something of my mom's, probably a piece of jewelry that my dad gave her.
Something Blue: Still a bit undecided, but I think I'm having my seamstress use blue thread to sew "_____ & ______ June 8th, 2012" on the underside of my dress. I thought I would do the blue crystal "I DO" on the bottom of my shoes, but I actually think I'm going to buy a pair of shoes that I'll wear again and again after the wedding (class nude pumps!)
Oo I like this one - my somethings are mostly decided except for my blue. They are:
Old: A hair barrett that belonged to my great, great grandmother (I'm planning to wear my hair 1/2 up and use this to fasten it)
New: Dress, etc
Borrowed: Most likely my mom's wedding veil, as long as it matches my dres(crossed fingers)
Blue: Either blue shoes or a blue garter ... potentially both if I can find the right pair of shoes. Why are navy shoes so hard to find?
And I'm thinking of putting a nickel in my shoe for the "silver sixpense" part, I think a nickel is the closest monetary value to a sixpense ... and it's silver, too!
Something New: My Gown and Shoes
Something Old: Unknown
Something Borrowerd: Unknown
Something Blue: A piece of jewelery a friend is making and/or my panties :)
Sixpense: i am ordering one with my grandparents wedding year on it (thanks @scadadle15 for the idea)

Just a basic question: What are your "somethings"? I'm so curious to see what everyone else has come up with!
Mine have a theme. All of mine have been given to me by a mother figure in my life. We're gonna have a little thing in the back of our program that tells people what they are and who they're from.
Something old: My vintage wedding gown, worn by my grandma in 1957
Something new: A bracelet, given to my by my FMIL (She was so excited that I asked her, and has already started searching for the perfect item. Even though I'm still over a year away!)
Something borrowed: My step mother's wedding bands to be worn on my right hand, loaned to me by my father (my step mother passed away this summer)
Something blue: an unknown gift from my mom, which will either be a necklace or earrings. (I'm really holding on to her giving me her sapphire necklace lol)
So Bees, what are yours?
