For those of you planning a wedding, bear in mind well-known wedding traditions: A bride must wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue on her wedding day for good luck! The trope comes from an English rhyme dated to 1898, which also adds that a bride should also have a sixpence in her shoe. Forget the sixpence part, but if you are looking for suggestions for something blue here are 10 great ideas:
