Something Blue Wedding Keepsakes - A Modern Twist On Something Blue For The Bride

The Something Blue tradition for a wedding day must be one of the most discussed bridal topics.The origin of this little jingle  ' Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a silver sixpence for her shoe' goes back to Victorian times. The 'old' represents the bond to the bride’s family and her life prior to the wedding; the 'new' represents the new life the couple will have together and all the happiness, prosperity and success they will share; the 'borrowed' is something loaned to the bride from a happily married woman.The colour  'blue' something represents fidelity and has been linked to wedding ceremonies for centuries. Indeed some say it can be traced back to Roman times where a bride wore blue and even the Christian religion has always shown the Virgin Mary as dressed in blue because it symbolised purity from way back the centuries.Finally, the sixpence was meant to symbolise prosperity and financial security in the bride's new partnership. This little ditty certainly rings true in the 21st century as much as it has for the last couple of hundred years. every bride needs some luck for the new stage in her life.
