“Something olde, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe.” Like many wedding traditions, the idea of wearing or carrying something blue on your wedding day dates back to Victorian times, when this old English rhyme symbolized bringing luck to a bride on her wedding day.

In England during the Victorian Era, it was customary for the women in a bride’s life to gift her the pieces of the poem. It was meant to pass along the fortune and fidelity of their marriages, as if happiness was an heirloom. Why the color blue? Well blue is the color of love, purity, faithfulness, and modesty, so it was the appropriate choice during the time of strict Victorian virtures.

Today, many couples put their own twist on these good luck charms, including how they feature in the big day. They can be a romantic gesture to gift each other blue jewelry or trinkets, or feature throughout the wedding in flowers, decor or details.
