The tradition of having “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” on your wedding day began in the Victorian Era and has continued to be a tradition thousands of years later. Though, there are many meanings for this tradition, but it ultimately symbolizes luck for a bride on her wedding day. Not keeping tradition seem to be the latest trend, some of our couples are still choosing to uphold this classic tradition. Although, we are major advocates for doing whatever you want to do on your wedding day because we love it when couples find ways to incorporate intentional details throughout the wedding! From a piece of jewelry from the matriarch to blue gems, to your newfound dress, to your getting ready outfit and so much more we wanted to give you ideas on what you can choose for your “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” If you chose to incorporate this tradition on your wedding day, we would love to hear what you included on our instagram!
