Something old Something new – Wedding Tradition

Something old, something new – The origins to this verse is believed to be taken from the Victorian Era and relates to Good Luck.

Something Old – The symbol here has a link with the Brides family and is sometimes linked with a gift from the Mother representing Wisdom.

Something New – Possibly the Brides wedding attire and new beginnings to look forward to.

Something Borrowed - A gift from friends of the bride that she may count on. Perhaps a small piece of jewellery.

Something Blue – These days this is normally a blue garter. Back in Biblical times it was always common to marry in this colour, and in some EU countries the Bride still  has a blue band upon her dress. It signifies Love, Sincerity and Purity.

Finally, the Bride  has a silver sixpence tucked within her shoe which represented her future financial security.
