I have all of these. I'm putting the sixpence under a plaster in bit of my shoe where the arch of my foot is.
CommentAuthorringerone
I am.
New - dress Borrowed - My sisters veil Blue - the dress shop sewed a blue ribbon into the underside of the dress
Still struggling with something old, but I told my mum if I couldn't think of anything, I would just claim I was taking her (She has that sort of sense of humour :-) )
CommentAuthorPrincess2be
Im going to try but am struggling with the something borrowed and something old.
CommentAuthorphoebee
I am;
New- my dress Borrowed and old- my moms garter Blue- the garter I brought before my mom said I could borrow hers
:-)
CommentAuthorbiochrissy
we are. dont forget the sixpnece.
old - great grandmothers necklace in my flowers new - my dess borrowed - still not sorted this one yet cus i dont know what to borrow blue - i do stickers sixpence in her shoe - dads putting it in my shoe but not leaving it in there cus that would just drive me nuts, gunna try fit it into the bow. but traditionally it comes from scotland where the groom would put a sixpence in his own shoe so we've got one each just to make sure.

Where would you find a sixpence theses days?
CommentAuthorKirst
Yes Im sticking to it... Something Old...Friends Tiara and Bracelet Something New...Dress Something Borrowed...Friends Tiara and Bracelet Something Blue...I Do stickers and Garter
CommentAuthorMrs Davro
You can buy a sixpence from lots of places. About £5 from hobbycraft with a bit of paper with the rhyme written on, or ebay around £1 for just the coin in a little plastic bag.
CommentAuthorFernP61
I am going to do this although im finding my something blue really hard although my garter has a light blue flower on there i doint think that would really count lol x
CommentAuthornatalie2614
Im trying to stick to it. Old will be my tiara, new is my dress/veil, borrowed is mums garter, blue is a mix of the 'i do' stickers on my shoes, the garter and the blue flower motif sewn into my dress x

CommentAuthornatalie2614

CommentAuthorMrs Davro
Yea its supposed to be left foot. How about under a corn plaster? Or just take it out after the ceremony?
CommentAuthorLegoWife
I'm not bothering. It's inconvenient and my complete confidence in who I've chosen to marry voids luck, good or bad.

CommentAuthorsusan1990
yes im a traditionalist :) my something old is my nanas pearls, new is my dress, shoes, veil and tiara, borrowed is the pearls again and my nans pear bracelet and earings and something blue will be the 'i do' on the bottom of my shoes, blue in my garter and blue writing on my nickers lol not to mention my blue eyes and my bridesmaids are blue aswel :p x
CommentAuthorLaura JaneW
Is it still traditional if you combine a couple of them? Ie something new/blue? Lol. My new garter is blue. :) not got a clue about something borrowed or something old!
CommentAuthorSam
I think it's perfectly ok to combine them. Generally the something borrowed and old comes from mothers, mil, grandmothers, aunts, etc. Ask around, someone is bound to have something you can use.
CommentAuthorLaura JaneW
It doesn't count but I'm putting my grandads kilt pin on my wee boys kilt on the day. He passed away three years ago and I still wish he was part of my wedding! Going to need to have a good think about the rest!
CommentAuthorVelcro
My colour theme is blue, so the blue shoes I'm planning on buying will cover that. Something old will be my wedding ring, and my charm bracelet too, as I got that when I was a baby, so it's ancient now haha, something new... Id imagine would be the dress... but if I buy one off the bay, Im not sure if that counts hahaha.
Something borrowed is the one I'm having issues with...
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!
CommentAuthorPrincess2be
Im sure it counts velcro because its new to you, lol x
CommentAuthorVelcro
Haha yeah, that'll do me! Does the new husband count too lol? I'll get a new surname too! Ah see, something new is well covered haha!

CommentAuthorShazk
Lol thats very true Velcro i like that idea - my brother did ask me if my H2B was my something old (as he is 13 yeard older than me) i found this very amusing and but OH didnt for some reason

CommentAuthorMrsWright290912
My old is a bracelet my grandma was given on her 18th by her mum and she in turn gave it to me on my 18th, my blue is her sapphire engagement ring, my new is my shambala bracelet I have ordered and my borrowed is a sparkly necklace charm that belongs to my mum :)
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!
Mexico for our first anniversary
CommentAuthorgeorgie
Can i be thick - whats the sixpence all about?x
CommentAuthorRennie1989
This was what I was thinking:
Something Old: My engagement ring (given to me by my nan, which was her auntie's ring) Something New: My dress Something Borrowed: I'm thinking of borrowing my mum's pearl necklace, it's very simple and elegant Something Blue: Not a clue! Do my eyes count?
CommentAuthorCat
Something Old: A silver, marcasite and onyx locket Something New: My dress Something Borrowed: Here is where I am stuck, I do feel a bit rude looking at my friends and family for something nice I can borrow off them, but I am starting to think it might be better than waiting for someone to offer and not being able to turn down something horrid Something Blue: I am getting a blue garter and my engagement ring has a Blue Violet Tanzanite
CommentAuthorlizzylou
I'm not really sure if i'm sticking to this, i hadn't given it much thought. x
Lizzy. x
CommentAuthorIzzy_w
My something old is my engagement ring.......100 years old, new is my dress, thinking of stiching blue bows onto my shoes, stuck on something borrowed tho :-s
CommentAuthorRosyF77
yes i would like to try and stick to this tradition but havnt given it much thought until now. I have a baby blue garter thats about it so far xx
CommentAuthorSarahB56
I will definitely be sticking to it all, I haven't decided on the details yet though. All I know is I'm going to have something of my nanas seeing as none of my grandparents are left to see it. Xxx
CommentAuthorTori
Don't forget the lucky sixpence in her shoe you can buy them off the bay x
CommentAuthorMrsWright290912
My my old was my grandma's silver bracelet given to her by her mum on her 18th and she gave to me on mine, new was my shambala bracelet, borrwed was a pendant necklace from my mum and blue was my grandma's sapphire engagement ring.
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!

CommentAuthorJillianL47
Oooh, attaching blue ribbon to the inside of the dress, I would never have thought of that. My something old and borrowed is going to be the same thing, my mum's broach, which I believe was was grandmas. I'm going to attach it to the bouquet ribbon, but on the side that faces me, so no-one else can see it-it doesn't go with the wedding theme at all!
CommentAuthorMichelleR969
well, i still didn't get the things! I m expecting!n Haha~~

I don't think I'm actually going to do this, I just don't really see how it will make a difference to my wedding day, apart from make me do things I don't really want to do just because someone years and years and years ago started it all lol I don't want a sixpence in my shoe, I want a garter but don't really want a blue one... Just seems unnecessary to make me do things I wouldn't normally do lol but this just my opinion xxxx
