Wedding Traditions - Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue! Hills in Hollywood

Something Old – This represents the link with the bride’s family and their past. A popular choice is antique jewellery or a handkerchief that has been past down through generations. If you don’t have anything in your family to use, don’t be afraid to start your own traditions. Visit an antique store or go through your mum/grandma’s jewellery collection.

Something New – This represents success and good fortune for the bride’s new life with her husband and family – the most popular choice is generally the wedding dress.
Something Borrowed – This reminds the bride that family and friends will always be there for her when she needs help – This can be anything you choose, however must be returned for good luck.
Something Blue – The colour blue is the symbol of loyalty and faithfulness – The modern choice is a blue garter, however traditionally the bride would tie a small blue ribbon in her hair.
