{ Something Borrowed } unique ideas for your wedding day

{ Something Borrowed }

Meaning: 

symbolizes borrowed happiness

This is usually an item from a married friend or family member who is happily married. The purpose is to pass on the happiness to the new bride.


Unique Ideas:

I borrowed my great grandmothers pin for my bouquet
She recently passed prior to my wedding so having something
of hers with me as I walked down the aisle made me feel
like she was close to me.

The most common item used is jewelry

- whether its your grandmothers pearls or 

your best friends diamond bracelet.

While these are common ideas, find unique places to put them. Just because its a necklace doesn't mean you have to wear it as one. -wrap it around your bouquet, or as a bracelet. Add your grandmother's brooch to your gown to add some sparkle.

"Borrow" your parents or in-laws home for your wedding. This is not necessarily something you wear, however its a BIG item to borrow which is filled with memories and lots of happiness!

Another common idea but not seen as often anymore is borrowing your mother's wedding gown as well as a headpiece/veil from her or a friend. The sound of "she wore her mother's wedding gown" just makes me "awww".

I just fell in love with this idea- "borrow"

 your parents first dance song. Better yet... 

don't tell them your using their song. 

Their reaction will be priceless!

This item usually gets brides stuck on what to borrow.

Don't stress over any of the items used to carry on this tradition,

more than likely someone will have something in mind that you can borrow.

If you still don't have anything to borrow by your wedding day, borrow a penny from

a married bridesmaid or MOH and put it in your shoe or clutch. Heads up!..of course!
