Recently I have heard that these four items are to express admiration for a couple of special people in a bride’s life. (Something Borrowed, and something “Old”).
This turns out to be another Victorian tradition, that simply recommends these items as good luck charms, and must not be certain items in specific. The bride has total control.
SOMETHNG…
OLD: This is said to symbolize continuity and a link to the own bride’s past family weddings.
NEW: This represents the hopes for a bright and new future as a marriage.
BORROWED: This item must come from a “happily” married woman, in order for it to help bring some of her own marital happiness into the bride’s new life. this also means that there will always be somebody there when help is needed.
BLUE: Blue at one point was the color of purity, loyalty and faithfulness… need I explain more?
This is one tradition I am looking forward to because it just seems fun :)
