“I asked all of the motherly figures in my life to surprise me. My ‘something old’ will be from my mom, my ‘something new’ will be from my soon-to-be mother-in-law, my ‘something borrowed’ will be from my stepmom, and my ‘something blue’ will be from my grandma; all women I love and admire. I gave them the parameters of no rings or necklaces, since I already picked those out. Other than that, I told them to pick something I can wear, tie onto my bouquet, sew into my dress, etc. I can’t wait to see what they come up with!” —@curq
“I wore Something Blue Perfume by Oscar De La Renta, and my fiancé also gifted me a Tacori necklace with a blue topaz stone on our big day. My ‘something old’ and ‘borrowed’ was two little pins my grandpa gave to my grandma for their wedding.” —@andreamc527
“My ‘something blue’ is our color, cobalt blue, and I’m stitching the date on the inside of my dress with blue thread. Our ‘something old’ and ‘borrowed’ is my grandpa’s pocket watch from my mom. I’m attaching it to my bouquet as a way to carry my grandpa with me.” —@supermansnurse

“At my 1997 wedding, I wore my hubby’s aunt’s pale blue garter from her wedding in 1955. It has been worn by every bride in our family since then. She also gave me a lucky penny from 1997 for my shoe that I still have.” — @heatherlessiter

“My ‘something blue’ is our names and wedding date embroidered on the inside of my dress, over my heart. My ‘something old’ and ‘something borrowed’ is my grandmother’s wedding band, which now belongs to my mom (it will be sewn onto the inside of my dress, too). Luckily, my mom is a dressmaker and is making my dress — something new!” —@sarahwood_86

“My ‘something borrowed’ is my sister’s pearl bracelet that she wore to her wedding a few years ago. My ‘something old’ and ‘blue’ just came in the mail yesterday.
