Something Old,
Something New,
Something Borrowed,
Something Blue

Legend has it that couples married on the month of June will live a blissful life ever after. No wonder it is a popular month for weddings.

Planning my own wedding last year had put me through some rough and exciting times. I did not became a June Bride nor did my dream of becoming an 888 Bride happen, nevertheless,  it was a beautiful celebration on a cold month of December.

I find some wedding tradition and customs not appropriate to me and my husband’s personality but the quote above is an exception. Somehow, I got pretty excited preparing for it. So let’s see if I can help you rock your wedding day. ♥

Something Old symbolizes something that is being passed down to the bride. It is usually in a form of an heirloom that is being given by the bride’s family or her future husband’s family.

It can be a hand me down wedding gown from the bride’s mother. Vintage and eco-friendly theme is so hot right now and with a number of good couturiers around, alteration will not be a problem at all.

Another fab idea is to add flair to the bride’s bouquet by pinning an heirloom brooch.

Something New symbolizes a start of fresh life ahead. It can be anything unique that the bride had recently acquired.

New wedding dress and wedding bands can represent something new. I took my wedding dress a bit further by getting my petticoat colored in hot pink. It looked amazing when it peek through everytime I lift my dress up.

Another great idea is to hang up the key of the couple’s new house to the bride’s bouquet.

Something Borrowed

A thing or two that a bride loaned from a friend or family. It is a belief that a good fortune in marriage shall be shared with a new bride.

Something Blue

Blue symbolizes love, modesty and fidelity. As the bride walks in a full purity with a white wedding dress, she should also carry on something blue.
