"Something Borrowed" ideas

It's fairly easy to borrow something, so when you decide to borrow something for your wedding it should be pretty simple. Below are a few ideas for some things you can borrow for your wedding, to fulfil the "something borrowed" portion of the something old, something new tradition.


1. Jewelry. This is probably one of the most popular items to borrow for your wedding day. Besides borrowing from friends, sometime your jeweler will lend you out items also. I think borrowing from friends is more meaningful though. I borrowed a necklace and earrings from a close family friend on my wedding day and it added such meaning to what I was wearing.

2. A handkerchief. This can be borrowed from a grandmother or your own mother, and might come in handy throughout the day!

3. A cute little clutch. I don't know about you, but I wish I would have had a cute little purse on my wedding day. I had a Trader Joe's bag!! Of course it never came out of the room into public, but I think a cute little purse would have been perfect. Heaven knows my grandma had plenty of cute ones laying around. I'm sure a close family member or friend wouldn't mind lending you their purse for the day; that way you won't have to have a Trader Joe's bag! Note: The clutch pictured above is on sale at Nine West for $20!
