Hi everyone, my bff is getting married in July and I’m a bridesmaid for the first time. Does anyone have any fun ideas for ‘something old, new, borrowed, blue’? Not sure where to start! Any thoughtful ideas would be fab

Congrats! These are a few ideas for the adage:
Something Old:
the wedding veil (which can also fall under borrowed)
Family heirlooms (similar to the veil)
A head piece (similar to the veil)
Renting a vintage photo booth
Renting an antique car for the going away
Something New:
A new fragrance:
Cufflinks - (groomsmen, fathers, brothers)
Jewellery
Engraved knife cake:
Engrave the wedding rings with the date of marriage and each spouse’s name (husband has the wife’s name engraved on the ring, the wife has his name engraved on hers)
Something Blue:
Blue shoes:
Blue lingerie:
(In case this is not possible because of the dress one can always opt for neutral or white lingerie and then have them personalised with blue embroidery)
Blue Jewellery
The flower bouquet which contains blue flowers
Hope this helps!
Love these ideas, thank you!
Yes! Antique or vintage jewellery is such a lovely ‘something old’ or even ‘something borrowed’ as you can loan jewellery from some antique dealers. I know that charlotte sayers antique jewellery sometimes loans pieces for weddings. Her website is www.charlottesayers.com
