SOMETHING OLD, NEW,
BORROWED AND BLUE
The
full wording of this popular bridal attire rhyme, which dates back to
the Victorian times is 'something old, something new, something borrowed,
something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe'.
Something old refers to wearing something that represents a link with
the bride's family and her old life. Usually, the bride wears a piece
of family jewellery or maybe her mother's or grandmother's wedding dress.
Wearing something new represents good fortune and success in the bride's
new life. The bride's wedding dress is usually chosen, if purchased new,
but it can be any other new item of the bride's wedding attire.
Wearing something borrowed, which has already been worn by a happy bride
at her wedding, is meant to bring good luck to the marriage. Something
borrowed could be an item of bridal clothing, a handkerchief or an item
of jewellery.
Wearing something blue dates back to biblical times when the colour blue
was considered to represent purity and fidelity. Over time this has evolved
from wearing a blue clothing to wearing a blue band around the bottom
of the bride's dress and to modern times where the bride wears a blue
or blue-trimmed garter.
