...and something from Vogue:
The English custom of brides wearing “something
blue” on their wedding day dates back to the 1890s and a little old rhyme you
may have heard of: “something old, something new, something borrowed, something
blue, a sixpence in your shoe.” The blue bridal token was said to symbolize
purity, love, and fidelity.
More than 100 years later, there’s no denying that
incorporating a pop of blue is a custom with both meaning and wherewithal, but
with 2019’s biggest wedding trend showing a shift toward fresh, fun, laid-back
celebrations, it’s only fitting that this time-honored custom would follow
suit.
