Old: Great Grandmas Brooch for my bouquet we were super close! and I am getting married on her Birthday!
New: Dress, shoes, jewelery
Borrowed: Grandmas Tennis Bracelet
Blue: Victoria Secret Bride Undies
I am not organizing anything specifically for this tradition. I will have my grandmothers necklace on my bouquet, but its not really borrowed since its mine now. I might borrow my mom's earrings, but I am not sure yet.
Old: Earrings
New: Dress, shoes, veil, etc
Borrowed: A button down shirt from FI to wear while getting my make-up done, since he can't be with me.
Blue: My Memphis Grizzlies garters and "Bride" in blue on my VS undies
Old - 2 rings: my wedding band, which was my mom's mother's wedding ring, and on my right hand, a beautiful art-deco style ring that was my dad's mother's
New - shoes
Borrowed - don't know yet - maybe jewelry?
Blue - my dress will have thin blue piping on some of the seams.
Old: Not sure yet. We have no family heirlooms for me to use. I may ask FMIL for something of hers.
New: Undergarments. I'm looking for a used dress.
Borrowed: My sister's fresh water pearl necklace and earrings she wore for her wedding. (although I really love the idea of FI's button down shirt, prncssdva)
Blue: my shoes! I have cute, cute blue peep toe flats.
@lefeymw: I didn't intentionally organized it either. It just happened to work out that way. I found my garter unexpectedly and fell in love because it is a police garter and I am going to be a police officer soon and so it happened to be blue. Since we are getting married on my great granmothers anniversary I wanted to have her with me and honor her somehow so I am wearing her old diamond bracelet. my mom has a floating pearl necklace that I just LOVE so I am going to borrow that and all I need then are earrings so I am going to buy those new. I didn't realize until later that I had my Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue stuff... somebody actually had to point it out! lol
Old: Gloves.
New: Dress, shoes, jewelry, veil, etc.
Blue: Garter belt and/or a little blue stone my Etsy designer is adding to my necklace.
Borrowed: I don't know yet! I'm an only child and my mom and grandparents passed away... I'm not even sure who I can borrow something from... Where do you all find your borrowed pieces? Do you ask for them?
Here's mine:
Old: A ring my grandpa gave my grandma years ago that my grandma then gave to me. I'm the only grandchild, and my grandpa passed away in February, so it is really special to me. I had it resized and will be wearing it on my right hand during the wedding. It's also special because it's diamond and ruby, which matches my colors!
New: Dress, veil, shoes, ect...
Borrowed: Pearl necklace that is either going to be from my mom or my grandma, not sure which.
Blue: Aquamarine and diamond bracelet that was my birthday gift this year
@noodlesploosh: Do you have a close girl friend you could borrow something from? I also like @PrncssDva:'s idea about borrowing a piece of your FI's clothing!
For your something borrowed you could always ask a friend or cousin, or someone close to you that way if you could borrow jewelry or something of theirs?
@noodlesploosh: It doesn't have to be from a family member. When my best friend got married she forgot to ask for something borrowed so when we got to the wedding site she saw the photographer has a pretty bracelet and asked to borrow it for the ceremony. lol. (She didn't want to use one of our because she spent so long picking them out for us) Ask friends, I am sure ONE of them will have something you like and can borrow. It doesn't even have to be jewelry or be seen. Another friend of mine borrowed an I rock from her niece and pinned it under her dress.
Old - a handkerchief that belonged to my father's mother
New - Dress!
Borrowed - Pearl ring and bracelet belonging to my mother
Blue - My shoes
I hit upon an idea for my "blue" this weekend, in fact.
Old: My grandmother's handkerchief
New: My dress, shoes, etc.
Borrowed: I'll just borrow a penny from my BFF to put in my pocket. (I love that my dress has pockets!)
Blue: James Avery Remembrance charm for June (our wedding month), which has an Alexandrite stone that looks blue to me. I'm going to stitch it onto my grandmother's handkerchief and carry it at the wedding, and afterwards, I can put the charm on my James Avery charm bracelet as a keepsake:
I told my mom about my idea this morning and she loved it and said the charm would be her wedding gift to me. :-)
Old-my engagment ring has a passed down diamond
New-my dress and accessories
Borrowed-a bracelet from my BFF and MOH
Blue-the sole of my shoes!
Old: My mom is making my garter out of peices of my grandmothers wedding suit
New: Dress
Borrowed: Jewelry from my mom
Blue: Grandmas wedding suit was navy!
Old - lace handkerchief passed down from FI's great, great grandmother. Will be wrapped around my bouquet.
New - Pretty much everything :-) Dress, shoes, headpiece, etc.
Borrowed - Veils and jewelry
Blue - Undies have "BRIDE" written in blue, blue crystals on bottom of shoes
Old: grandmother's wedding band. It means so much to be because my granddad died 7 years ago and I wanted a piece of him with me. When grandma said I could wear the ring I was thrilled.
New: bracelet
Borrowed:necklace and earrings
Blue: engagement ring
Thanks for all the borrowing ideas!! I do have some great girlfriends - I'll ask them. I also think my FI would love it if I borrowed something from him. :)
