Why the Bride should wear something new, something blue and something borrow?

Question

Is it a traditional ?? or what is the reason..??

Answer 1

Tradition.

Answer 2

These items are supposed to bring good luck to the marriage.

wikipedia:Brides are supposed to be wearing, in the words of an old jingle:

Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something blue,

and a lucky penny in her shoe.
Because wedding apparel is often quite expensive, most brides find no difficulty in mixing old and new. A new dress will be crowned with a family heirloom veil, an old dress with new earrings, etc. The borrowed item is often a handkerchief; the blue item is often a garter. The garter is a decorated band of elastic once used to hold up long stockings. Garters are no longer used, but survive in the wedding paraphernalia as an item that the bride removes and throws to the crowd at the reception following the actual marriage ceremony.

Answer 3

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

It's tradition. But you are not stuck with this one. There are many wedding traditions to choose from. Most families have wedding traditions to observe and pass onto the next generation. Some are cultural, some are just traditions started by accident.

When I got married (the first time) my grandmother insisted on my putting a copper penny in my shoe for good luck. I also borrowed a garnet necklace from a very happily married girlfriend, a blue garter, my wedding dress was new, and my mother gave me the prayer book that had been handed down four generations to carry down the aisle for something old.

Some of the other traditions observed that day were:
Wedding cake
Grooms cake (chocolate with a ball and chain on it)
Flower girl and Ring boy
I wore a full veil that the groom had to lift after the ceremony to kiss me.

You see, almost everything about a wedding is about tradition. It brings specialness to the day and to the experience.

Answer 4

It's just tradition. It's supposed to bring good luck if the bride wears "Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue".

Answer 5

It is a tradition meant to bestow good luck upon the couple. The entire rhyme is actually "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in your shoe (though you don't hear the last part too often) I couldn't quite remember what everything was supposed to stand for, but I looked it up and here is what I found:
_____________________________

"Something old" represents the couple's friends who will hopefully remain close during the marriage. Traditionally this was old garter which given to the bride by a happily married woman in the hope that her happiness in marriage would be passed on to the new bride.

: : "Something new" symbolizes the newlyweds' happy and prosperous future.

: : "Something borrowed" is often lent by the bride's family and is an item much valued by the family. The bride must return the item to ensure good luck.

: : The custom of the bride wearing "something blue" originated in ancient Israel where the bride wore a blue ribbon in her hair to represent fidelity.

: : The placing of a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe was to ensure wealth in the couples married life. Today some brides substitute a penny in their shoe during the ceremony as silver sixpences are less common.

_______________________________

My something old was a pair of pearl earrings lent to be by my sister. They had been given to her by a friend who had in turn received them from her grandmother.

My something new was my wedding dress. My garter was also new.

My something borrowed was a pearl necklace belonging to my Mother-in-law.

My something blue was a blue ribbon on my garter.

I had a sixpence for my shoe given to me by one of my cousins who was also one of my bridesmaids. If you are unfamilliar with this one, you are to take the sixpence and place it inside of one of your shoes. If you can't locate a sixpence, a penny works just as well.

It's supposed to be...something old, new, borrowed, blue. Yes, it's tradition. My mother in law gave me a OLD wooden bracelet that my husband made her when he was 3 years old, my dad gave me a NEW necklace, I BORROWED my sisters earrings, and the embroidery in my undergarment was BLUE. I attached the bracelet and necklace to my garter under my dress.
