What does something old and something new mean for brides?
It is still a traditional custom for the bride to wear 'Something old, something borrowed; something blue. Something old could be a lovely locket that her mother had when she got married (or perhaps a grandmothers locket) or even an old lace handkerchief that the bride could tuck under the band of her wedding dress or carry under her bouquet. Something borrowed could be a set of earrings from her mother; one of her sisters or a good friend and something blue could be the garter the bride wears just above her knee and is later thrown at the reception to a group of young bachelors (the bachelor that catches the garter is suppose to be the one who gets married next.) However, traditions have changed and other than the garter the bride does not have to follow tradition to the letter.
Why does a bride wear something blue?
The next line of this old saying actually hints at its origin. The complete phrase is:Something old, something newSomething borrowed, something blueAnd a silver sixpence in her shoe.A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. So this wedding tradition is definitely English, and many sources say that it began in theVictorian era.Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true."And finally, a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security. It may date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. These days, a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted, and many companies sell keepsake sixpences for weddings.
