Ever really wondered what this old saying means? Old stands for a bride’s ties to her past. New is her hope for the future. Borrowed represents friendship and blue is for faithfulness. Usually a bride will try to represent all four of these by something she wears on her wedding day. “New” is the easiest one to cover – most every bride has something brand new to wear. ”Old” may be her mother’s necklace, pearl earrings, veil or even a re-done wedding gown! “Borrowed” is similar to finding something old – maybe borrow a friend’s veil (a friend once borrowed mine, it saves a lot of money!), or a broach that you pin on your bouquet, or use a friend’s favorite make-up. “Blue”, well, you can get creative like a friend of mine did. She had each of her bridesmaids write a note on the soles of her wedding shoes in blue ink. The easiest way to incorporate blue is to have a sweet little piece of lingerie under your dress. Don’t stress if you don’t follow this wedding tradition. It’s only for fun and can be a great way to incorporate others into your wedding day beauty preparations!
