Something old…

Personalize your photos with frames to match your look you're going for

Incorporate your “something old” into your reception by numbering your tables with old photos from the same year of you and your hubby or line your sign in table with photos of weddings of your grandparents and great grandparents.

.

Other ideas…

Lace from your mother’s dress sewn into your dress.

Attach a locket of loved ones –  a special tribute by remembering your loved ones that have passed on – or an old family rosary around the base of your bouquet.

.

Something new…

Garter or lingerie for something new

So you are not going to borrow lingerie or a garter, so make that your something new! We found gorgeous garter options – lace, sequins, toile and beads – from Florrie Mitton available at Etsy.

.

Don’t forget your dress can be your “something new” too!

Other ideas…

Bring something from your new life with your husband into your wedding – tie the key to your first home together as a married couple in the base of your bouquet.

New shoes or jewelry.

A gift from your groom!

.

Something borrowed…

Ask family members for your "something borrowed"

Remember going through your mother’s jewelry box as a girl and trying it all on… not only will your grandma or mother love going through their favorite pieces with you but they will love the thought of their addition in your wedding. Wear your mother’s pearl necklace, your grandmother’s wedding ring, or a brooch that has been passed down for years for the perfect “something borrowed.”

.

Not only jewelry –

The veil your grandma wore at her wedding

The shoes or  headpiece your older sister wore at her wedding

.

Something blue…

Your designer can give you an elegant touch

Our designer, Modern Trousseau, is all about exquisite details. A signature patch is sewn into every Modern Trousseau gown with the date of the wedding embroidered in light blue thread as a perfect ‘something blue’.
