Does anyone have and ideas for wedding something old and something borrowed?

Answer 1

-borrow a old hanky of your mothers or grandmothers and tuck it in you garter

-borrow a pearl necklace that belonged to your mom or grandmother

-wear a old piece of jewelery that you had as a child-a bracelet or such

-borrow a hair pin from a friend or sister

gain brownie points by asking your future mother-in-law to borrow something of hers for the day-maybe borrow a small picture of your future husband as a baby for the day to carry with you as you get married. Or if both sets of parents are still married to each other, ask to carry a small picture of both sets of parents as they were on their wedding day. (figure they've been married quite a few years and you would like the luck and wisdom that the two couples have had to work it's magic on you and your future husband so that you two may share as many years together as your parents and his parents have.)

Answer 2

Well, something borrowed should be something from someone you know (parent or grandparent) that has had a happy marriage. It can be as simple as the hankie Grandma carried on her wedding day, or the earrings your mother wore on hers. Or your dad's ring, cuff links, etc. You don't have to wear this conspicuously either, you can pin it inside your dress (like to your slip) so that you know it's there, but no one else does. Same thing with the something old. On my wedding day I wore my mom's pearl earrings, and had my grandmother's 1st wedding ring pinned in my slip as my "borrowed."

Answer 3

For my wedding something old was my great-great grandmothers pin I put it in a place were no one would see it but I knew it was there. For something borrowed I borrowed a pearl necklace from my grandmother.

Answer 4

Something borrowed and old: Some earrings from a grandma, aunt, or mom (the ones they used for their weddings, an anniversary gift, etc,)

Answer 5

If you're close with your mom then maybe something special of hers, something she wore in her wedding for something old or borrowed. Jewelry is good too! From someone close to you so it has meaning-this is a day that you'll want to be special, perfect and with a lot of good memories to have=)

Answer 6

My something old is going to be a handkerchief that we found in my great-grandmother's house after she passed away last year. Growing up, I always thought she'd make it to my wedding, but sadly, she won't. Having that handkerchief with me when I'm saying my vows and "I do" will remind me that she's watching over me from Heaven. If you don't have something like that, you could ask for a family Bible to carry with you. You could also borrow something from your grandmother--that would kill two birds with one stone.

For my something borrowed, I was going to borrow something from my sister (MOH), but she's being a total diva right now. She may be un-invited to be my MOH she's being such a b****. I'm really considering borrowing something from my mother-in-law to be. I really like her, and I want to accomodate her as much as I can. (Especially since she hasn't lost her mind over the wedding like my mother has.) That way too, you and she (and my future mother-in-law and I) can bond. She'll be flattered you asked!

Answer 7

I had my mums wedding ring for something borrowed, and my Grandmothers wedding ring for something old. My grandma passed away the year before I got married, so wearing her ring was special for me!

Answer 8

I'm thinking of using my mom's old wedding bouquet (it's plastic), or her veil, and I will "borrow" some of the ideas of her wedding (like having it in a garden),

Answer 9

See if you can get a hanky from your mom or grandmother for something old. Borrow a bracelete or earings for your borrowed.

Answer 10

As someone said before, which I liked, was "borrow" an idea. I am going to use one of my grandmother's "old" rings.
