The Tradition of Wearing Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something New




Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started?

This superstition dates back to the Victorian era and is said to bring the bride good luck. The something old was meant to tie the bride to her family and her past, while the something new represented her new life as now belonging to a new family with the hope of good fortune and success for the future. The item borrowed was supposed to be taken from someone who was already a successfully married wife, so as to pass on a bit of her good fortune to the new bride. The colour blue, stood for love, loyalty and purity.

Today we continue this tradition with full or part awareness of what it means and to be honest some of us still believe in this superstition, even though we know that marriage is built on love, trust, communication, fidelity etc. It should also be noted that nowadays it's white that stands for the colour of purity and not blue as it once was.

  1. This is the bride area however I will support any tradition she may or may not wish to do as part of the ceremony, that she feels will make it a perfect day for her. I want to be in a church, so that is nonnegotiable.
