Old. New. Borrow. Blue. Don’t Know What To Do?


http://www.atouchofgrace.biz/www/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/favor_sticker_something_old_new_borrowed_blue-p217966281347697211bah05_400.jpg Want something meaningful to have the best of luck on your wedding day? Want it subtle? Want it grand? Don’t know what to do? That is why Hustle and Bustle has created a list of the 10 best old, new, borrowed, blue ideas.

We recommend jewelry. Whether is it old, new, borrowed, or blue jewelry is subtle enough to place in a bouquet, wear, or sew into a skirt. 

 Do you have a religious tradition? Incorporate an old bible, a borrowed chuppah, or  new glass to break .

                          Old
 If you want an heirloom we recommend jewelry. It doesn’t have to be warn, it can be placed in the brides bouquet or sewn into the hem of her dress. This could be anything from a grandmothers necklace or broach to a fathers old tie pin or cufflinks.

Many brides try to include a mother or grandmother’s piece of fabric from their dress into their new wedding dress. Don’t want it do be seen? Have it sewn into the inside of the skirt or used to wrap the bridal bouquet.
Many religious traditions include using carrying a small old bible that has been passed down in the family in the bouquet. An old vintage bottle can be crushed during the ceremony. 

Unique ideas include an old vintage “Just Married” car, any vintage mirrors, gloves, vials, headpieces, childhood pillow for the ring bearer, old photographs of relative’s weddings, or hosting the wedding at a historical location.

 New
Usually a brand new dress is considered the “new” token. However, if you borrowed or choose not to have you dress as the “new” item there are still many options. Many Hustle and Bustle brides have been surprised by their soon to be husband with a new gift moments before the wedding.

A new perfume may be new to you as well as a wonderful way to entice your new husband. This signature scent can be the new scent as “Mrs.” We suggest Chance but Chanel. It it is the #1 scent liked by men.

Any new makeup, accessory, or item received from friends, parents, or future husbands counts as your “new” item. 

                           Borrowed 
Borrowing an item can be a tough one. You may want to ask a friend, a family member, or maybe you’re soon to be in-laws. They more than likely will be honored to let you borrow it! We suggest possibly asking your best friend or maid-of-honor to borrow her strapless bra or maybe a piece of jewelry.

Your loved ones will most likely be honored to help you with these bits of tradition & what a relief to check off a couple of more items on your wedding task list.
