As I mentioned in my earlier post, there are a lot of details in a wedding. From the wedding decorations like wedding cake toppers and unity candles to wedding accessories like garters and personalized wedding favors; Your details will add up fast!
Not to put one more thing on you plate before you get married, but here is another fun little detail that should be given a little thought:
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe."
Many sources say the this phrase dates back to the Victorian era and is definitely English. However, many brides still know this phrase and consider it good luck to have something old, new, borrowed, and blue. But what does it all mean?
"Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and with her past. "Something new" means an optimistic hope for their new life ahead."Something borrowed" is usually an item from the brides family or a close friend who is happily married. That person's good fortune is then supposed to be carried over into the new brides marriage."Something blue" represents love, modesty, and fidelity, dating all the way back to ancient Rome. The Virgin Mary has been long dressed in blue represents purity. "Silver sixpence in her shoe" is meant to represent wealth and financial security. These days a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted.
Brides have often worn things like old crocheted handkerchiefs, borrowed pearls, blue garters, new panties, new wedding accessories, etc.
Have a wedding filled with "good luck"! Remember, every detail of your wedding is special: from your wedding decorations, and personalized wedding favors to the small wedding accessories like garters, wedding cake toppers, and unity candles.
Dream Big. Live it up at your wedding!
