@Mrs.tobe: Still got some to sort but so far;
Old - ?
New - dress and pretty much whole wedding attire actually
Borrowed ?
Blue - toe nails and garter
Old: 18th century lace my mum sourced for her own wedding dress sewn into my garter (will feel dredful when I have to cut it off the sleeves of her dress!)
New: My dress. (Not very original!)
Borrowed: My future sister in law's beautiful cathedral veil
Blue: A hidden blue crystal on the underside of my hairpiece/ side tiara
Have been a bit obsessed about sorting these things out!
Old: my necklace. It was a birthday gift from FI last year, so it's not that old but also not new anymore
New/ Blue: my shoes
Borrowed: ?
And i will also have a Sixpense in my shoe. My father already bought two old Sixpences on Ebay, he thinks one is not enough :))
This is what I've got so far...
Old: My e-ring. It was FI's great granny's
New: I think I might do this hankie that FMIL brought back for me from Ireland (but not so sure...)
Borrowed: I have no clue yet
Blue: I'm really trying for some shoes, but haven't been able to find that "it" pair yet.
Old: A vintage pin for my bouquet
New: My dress
Borrowed: working on that one :)
Blue: My Shoes! I love them!!
So far...
OLD- my grandmother's vintage diamond ring that I will (on the hand without my engagement ring of course)
NEW- crystal earrings, dress
BORROWED- my FSIL's white bolero that she wore at her wedding
BLUE- ? not sure? probably a blue thong?
@Evie19: LOL! I used to wear thongs, but anymore I'm pretty much a boyshort/something equally comfortable kind of gal.
Old: Grandmother's cross from one of her rosaries on my bouquet.
New: My Gown, of course!
Borrowed: My Veil was borrowed from a great friend who couldn't attend b/c she was unable to travel due to her pregnancy.
Blue: My pretty panties (I promise not to post a pic lol)
@melisslp: Were they a thong!? lol
@Prewitt: Thongs are so tiresome for me these days...lol
Old: a button from my mom's dress sewn into the inside of the skirt.
New: my earrings/dress
borrowed:???
Blue: I really wanted my 'blue' to be my shoes, but I haven't found a pair I really really love yet :/ So either I'll get my toes painted or I'll wear the sapphire necklace I got from my partner for my birthday for my 18th b-day.
Old - a piece of lace from my great-great-grandmother's wedding gown pinned to the tulle under my gown.
New - my dress/jewelry
Borrowed - a diamond tennis bracelet from my mother-in-law
Blue - my blue polka dot VS undies! :)
Old: my grandmothers ringbearer pillow that my great grandma hand made for her wedding back in 1953...
New: My dress attire
Borrowed: nothing yet it was going to be my FSIL head piece but i just cant get it to work with my hair.
Blue i will put it on my garter unless i find a prettier garter then i will get blue panties.
@Mrs.tobe: Haha, yeah actually after I typed that, I was thinking...a thong? Actually maybe my Mary Green boy shorts! LOL
Old and borrowed: My grandmother's wedding band on my right hand - tied around my bouquet if it doesn't fit on my finger
New: Dress/jewelry
Blue: This was going to be my shoes but I decided they were just too high. So now I'll just count my wedding band since we decided to do sapphires instead of diamonds. 
old: my grandmothers bracelet
new: my earrings and necklace that my mom bought me
borrowed: ? could use grandmas bracelet or ring for this too! :)
blue: my moms sapphire ring (my grandmother passed it down to her)
Old: I'm going to wrap my bouquet in the lace from the hem of my mother's wedding gown. Her idea :-)
New: My fascinator
Borrowed: My sixpence! The daughter of a family friend had a real sixpence given to her by a British army officer. She's kind enough to let me slip it into my shoe for my wedding.
Blue: My lovely shoes; Ladon by Me Too in Royal Blue
So happy all this came together so easily!
New: the dress
Old, Borrowed and Blue: My grandma's hankerchief. It has her initial embroidered in blue.
I may try to come up with a couple others that fit in one of those three catagories, but for now that's my plan.
...and a lucky penny for your shoe
DD (and it seems many bees here) don't ever mention that or have heard of it. ? I made one for my shoe from two heart-shaped pieces of lace that sandwhiched the penny and of course saved it with my wedding things.
I hope my daughter will accept and wear one from me: we saved it and put it in her baby book a long time ago when DH and I found it out on those endless walks you do at the end of pregnancy trying to bring on labour. When I bent over to pick it up off the ground the first great contraction hit. It will go in some of that same lace and then it can be her something old as well.
@geminidream: I think that's so sweet. I hadn't heard of the penny thing until after my wedding, or I would have done it. I read something (here, I think) about a bride who was given the same penny her mom wore in her shoe on her wedding day and had saved. I thought it was a wonderful story.
Old: My pearl engagement ring/earrings/necklace. They belonged to my surrogate mother, and had been in her family for almost a century before she gave them to DH to give to me.
New: My dress, althought it could also be shoes or veil.
Borrowed: A string pearl bracelet from my SIL. She'd tried to gift it to me before the wedding, but I insisted she loan it to me until after the wedding, so it could be my something borrowed.
Blue: My garter.
Something old - my shoes.
Something new - my flower head piece.
Something borrowed - my earrings & necklace was my moms pearls.. Which she ended up giving me. lol
Something blue - my shoes was white but on the inside was blue. & my mother in law gave them to me.
:-)
