The belief was that if the bride carried something from each of these categories \u2013 something old, borrowed, or blue, as well as a sixpence in her shoe \u2013 she would experience a happy and fulfilled marriage. Each \u201csomething\u201d represents an item to be given to the lucky bride, often by bridesmaids and close family members, before she walks down the aisle to her groom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In modern weddings, brides often use this tradition to involve cherished loved ones, meaningful objects, or a nod to a family member who is no longer with them. What\u2019s truly special about this tradition is that the items each bride carries will be unique to her life and her love story.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something Old\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The \u201csomething old\u201d represents the tie between the bride\u2019s past and the continuity of her story. It can be anything related to the bride\u2019s history, such as a locket with a picture of a loved one, or a small swatch of fabric from a relative\u2019s wedding gown sewn into the bride\u2019s dress. Historically, something old was believed to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/content\/wedding-traditions-the-meaning-of-something-old\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">ward off the evil eye <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">and protect the new couple\u2019s future children. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Include Something Old<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Today\u2019s brides often see this item as a way to honor the special people in their lives. Many choose an item like a sentimental piece of jewelry, an heirloom veil, a gown from an older relative, or a hair clip from a childhood friend. Your \u201csomething old\u201d could be as simple as a piece of lace, or something more extravagant such as a vintage car to ride to the ceremony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something New\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The \u201csomething new\u201d represents the new chapter in the bride\u2019s life and the future she will spend with her spouse.

Another popular approach is for the couple to give one another a gift that serves as &#8220;something new,&#8221; such as an engraved watch, locket, perfume, cufflinks, or other sentimental item.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something Borrowed\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The \u201csomething borrowed\u201d item usually comes from an already married family member or a friend of the bride. So the tradition goes, \u201cThe sense of happiness will transfer over to the bride and stay with the happy couple for years to come\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brides.com\/story\/something-borrowed-something-blue-do-i-really-need-it-at-my-wedding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Brides 2023<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">).\u00a0 It also reminds the couple that they can always seek support from her family and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Include Something Borrowed<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Adding an item that is borrowed for your wedding day is an ideal way to feel connected to loved ones. Many brides borrow jewelry, cake toppers, a tiara or veil, a cake knife, or a special fragrance from a friend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something Blue\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Blue is the color of love, purity, faithfulness, and modesty. To keep with tradition, the bride can wear a piece of blue jewelry, or for a modern take write a small note in blue on the bottom of her shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Include Something Blue<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Sprinkle a pop of blue on your wedding day to check off this category. Incorporate blue flowers into your bouquet, wear a blue garter, a blue handkerchief around your bouquet, or blue cufflinks for the groom. Or, think outside the box and add blue touches to your decor such as blue flowers on your cake or a blue signature drink.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And a Sixpence in Her Shoe<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Lastly, for the sometimes forgotten line, a sixpence was a coin in Victorian England. Nowadays, it symbolizes lasting wealth for the couple. Sixpence coins can often be found in wedding shops.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Include a Sixpence in Her Shoe\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Mingling, dancing and celebrating with a coin in your shoe may be a challenge, so many brides choose to add it to their bouquet, hidden in their garter, or sewn into the lining of their dress. Still, other couples choose to place a special coin in the pillow of the ring bearer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Trying to find a sixpence to use with some significance? Look for a penny minted in the year you and your significant other met!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Wedding traditions are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/danversport.com\/weddings\/venues\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">best celebrated in gorgeous venues<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">, surrounded by your loving family and friends.
