This month on the blog, it's all about...wedding traditions, and how to take them and make them your own. Today we're talking about "something blue", which comes from the old saying "Something old, something new, borrowed, something blue".

According to The Knot, something blue stands for "purity, love, and fidelity" and Brides.com also adds...

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.
