‘Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue’

It mentions the four good luck charms (plus a sixpence to bring prosperity) a bride should include somewhere in her wedding outfit or carry with her on her wedding day. If you are looking for some inspiration to incorporate these four elements in your wedding, here are cool ideas for ‘Something Blue’:
