Inspiration for your ‘something blue’.
***
I guess right now a lot of us might be feeling somewhat blue, but this ‘something blue’, is all positive. There are many, many traditions associated with weddings, and amongst them I’m sure many of you have heard the rhyme;
“Something old,
something new,
something borrowed,
something blue,
and a sixpence in her shoe.”
This rhyme has been a such a strong tradition for many years with couples, myself included, giving at least a nod to it by incorporating some or all the elements in to their day. For me, I had a handkerchief that was my grandmother’s which had blue flowers on it – so old, borrowed and blue were all covered off in one go – efficient! The ‘new’, well that was basically everything else and whilst I didn’t have a sixpence in my left shoe, a guest did give me one as a gift.
We set about thinking of ways you could incorporate the ‘something blue’ (which is said to represent love, purity and fidelity) into your wedding, ranging from flashy to subtle, modern to sentimental for today’s video. Check out what we came up with here:
