As one of the most special events in your life, your wedding should be exactly how you always imagined it. Incorporating "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue," into your bridal look is part of a long tradition that gives you some inspiration for your big day. Use this guide to help you bring one of each of these elements into your final look:

Something Old

This feature of your look represents continuity. This accessory is often something handed down through generations and has symbolic meaning for you and your loved ones. Whether you have a pin from your grandmother or a piece of lace from your future mother-in-laws own dress, adding something old to your look helps you feel connected to your past and to your future.

Something New

Toast to the optimism of your future with something that you buy specially for your big day. Your wedding dress, shoes, or veil can count as something new as you embark on this new and exciting journey toward the next phase of your life.

Something Borrowed

This tradition started as a symbol of borrowed happiness, but it also encompasses someone else's well wishes for your relationship and your future as a couple. Even though you give this accessory back after the wedding, you can hold onto the happiness it represents throughout the duration of your marriage.

Something Blue

The color blue represents many things, including purity, love, and fidelity. When it is used at a wedding venue, it is also said to bring good fortune and prosperity to the happy couple. Add a small blue bow to your bouquet or a blue bracelet to your wrist to get that last bit of "something blue" into your wedding look.
