Answer 2

I borrowed a pair of earrings from an aunty, they were also old so got two birds with one stone.
Someone also said why not borrow some money off someone at the reception for a drink, or beforehand and slip it into your garter. Rember to give it back though, it's something borrowed, not stolen!!!!

Good luck chick, been married 13 days n loving it.

Answer 3

Get something small from someone close to you even if its a hair-clip that someones used before as long as you remember to give it back it counts as borrowed. i personally couldn't use perfume or makeup since i think that wont count as borrowed. A hankie sound like a good idea. One of my friends had the same problem as you and she used to garters one blue and one borrowed.

Answer 4

My borrowed was jewelry. Does anyone you know have a piece of jewelry that you may not have on that will somewhat match. I have also seen a CLEAN borrowed handkerchief to pat the tears away. It could be something that someone lends you to hold on to while you are getting married. Something that is discreet, but has special meaning to them.

Answer 5

Does someone in your family have a special piece of jewelery you could borrow for the day?

My Grandmother wore a lovely sapphire ring, and when she died, and my Godmother inherited it. I will be wearing the ring at my wedding (right hand)...I'm very excited about that because something of my Grandmother will be with me, and sapphire is my birthstone--that's my old, blue, and borrowed (my dress will be new)

Ideas for Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue



We love the "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" wedding tradition, don't you? It's one of the only wedding traditions that still makes sense in today's society. It isn't darkened by old superstitions about fertility and virginity or cheapened by old wives tales about the moon's alignment. It's just plain cute. If you can, try to select items that can be placed in your keepsake box and passed down to your daughter or daughter-in-law.

Old
The "old" item represents something you are leaving behind or something that is being passed down to you.

· Your grandmother's wedding photo in a silver locket
· Your fiancé's first lost tooth
· Your mother's wedding band on your right ring finger

New
The "new" item represents something you are adopting through your marriage or something that is unique to your new union.

· Your engagement picture on the other side of the silver locket
· The key to your new home
· A token of your first date like a ticket stub or cocktail napkin.

Borrowed
The "borrowed" item should be symbolic of something you respect or admire about someone or something.

· Your best friend's energy crystal
· Your mother's monogrammed handkerchief
· Your mother-in-law's pearl necklace

Blue
The "blue" item really has no symbolism that we can think of - it simply rhymes with "new." Try to select something hidden and small that only you (and later on, your new hubby!) know about.

· A sapphire Austrian crystal heart pendant
· Paint your toes with light blue polish
· A thin light blue ribbon on your garter

if not then maybe ask you mum or a close friend for something to borrow for you big day :o)
goodluck

Answer 7

I think I borrowed a safety pin in case I had a problem with my dress and some thing happened to it

Answer 8

You could borrow a hankie to put in your garter, I know you said you have your jewellery sorted but you could borrow a piece from someone, I borrowed my mums bracelet.

Good luck with your wedding x

Answer 9

Your grandmother's engagement ring, worn on your right hand. Your mother's pearls. A prayer book borrowed from your Mother-in-law. A family heirloom hanky or bit of lace from either family.

Answer 10

Could you borrow an item of makeup? I can think of anything else, unless you borrow the car to take you to the wedding.

Answer 11

I made a promise this year to not answer any questins with regard to the colour blue. in spite of the undeniable fact that as a effect i might say in the back of blue eyes with the aid of the Who Moody blues with the aid of Elvis presley Blue international or Blue guitar with the aid of the Moody Blues.
