Do you know what everything means in the old adage, “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence for Her Shoe”
“Something old” represents the Bride’s link to her family and the past. The Bride may choose to wear a piece of family jewellery or her mother or grandmother’s Wedding gown.
“Something new” represents hope for good fortune and success in the future. The Bride often chooses the Wedding gown to represent the new item.
“Something borrowed” usually comes from a happily married woman and is thought to lend some of her good fortune and joy to the new Bride.
“Something blue” often takes the form of a Wedding garter incorporating a blue bow or a small blue bow stitched into the lining of the Wedding Gown. The significance of the colour blue is that it represents Constancy and Loyalty and from biblical times a symbol of Purity.
“A Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe” is varyingly said to wish the Bride a wealth of happiness and joy, or to have originally been a love token from the Groom. Today, it is often the Father-of-the-Bride who places a coin into her left shoe, before they leave for the ceremony.
