The wearing of something borrowed is to bring good luck, the bride should wear something that a happy bride once wore at her wedding such as an item of clothing or jewellery. The wearing of something blue would date back to the biblical era when the colour would represent fidelity and purity, this throughout time has developed into wearing a blue trimmed dress or a blue garter….And a silver sixpence in your shoe, this isn’t commonly said anymore, but the line referred to a symbol of wealth by having a silver sixpence in your left shoe. This was to bring the bride not only financial wealth but a wealth of happiness and joy throughout married life.
