Something Old & New
Something Old, Something New,
Somethin Borrowed, Something Blue
Something old...
According to tradition, “something old” can be a piece of jewellery or clothing that has a special significance within the bride’s family. It could be her mother’s necklace or grandmother’s ring, for instance, or maybe a silk handkerchief that has been handed down through the ages. It could even be the wedding dress itself if the bride has chosen to wear her mother’s bridal gown. Whatever you choose, your “something old” acknowledges previous generations and provides a personal link to them.
Something new...
This part of the rhyme is meant to symbolise wealth, success and good luck for the bride’s new life, and some people think it also demonstrates the bride’s commitment to her new union with her groom. Many brides choose their wedding dress for their “something new” – even if it’s a pre-owned dress, it’s still technically new to the bride. You may also like to consider your wedding ring, or perhaps the exquisite lingerie that only you – and your husband – will get to see!
