Wedding Traditions

Real Simple has a fun article about getting creative with wedding traditions:

Something Old

• A locket containing a picture of your great-grandparents
• A family Rosary for the ceremony
• Antique combs, pins, or barrettes
• A baby bracelet from a family member used around the base of your bouquet
  

Something New

• A key to your new home, if you're moving in together for the first time, hidden in your bouquet wrap
• A lucky penny minted in the year of your wedding
• Everything else!
  

Something Borrowed

• A flower from a loved one's garden, "borrowed" for your bouquet
• Dad's handkerchief, tucked under your bodice
• A fur stole, for a winter wedding
• Any jewelry you've been eyeing on a friend or a family member
  

Something Blue

• The sash on your dress
• A bouquet of blue blooms
• A blue garter or undergarment
• Sapphire jewelry
• A blue pen, for signing the marriage certificate
