Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Sixpence in her shoe.
This good luck saying dates back to Victorian times and many brides try to arrange their wedding attire accordingly.
Something Old
This represents the link with the bride's family and the past. On their wedding day many brides choose to wear a piece of antique family jewelry or a mother's or grandmother's wedding gown.
Something New
To represent good fortune and success in the bride's new life. The wedding gown is often chosen as the new item.
Something Borrowed
The borrowed item is to remind the bride that friends and family will be there for her when help is needed long after the wedding is over. The borrowed object might be something such as a lace handkerchief.
Something Blue
The symbol of faithfulness and loyalty. Often the blue item is the garter.
A Sixpence in her Shoe
