Find your "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue"

A wedding tradition that puts the odds on its side


"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue"… This is the translation of this wedding tradition which is one of the most popular and followed traditions in the world.


To bring luck and happiness to the bride and groom, this tradition wants the bride to wear on the day of the wedding ceremony:

- "something Old", representing the past life of the future spouses until their union,

- "something new", which symbolizes their future life together,

- "something Borrowed" from a close person such as a friend or a family member, who will bring them luck,

- and “something Blue”, as a sign of fidelity and purity.


Romanticism and traditions have enchanted us since childhood. Growing up to the rhythm of princess tales and romantic comedies, we have always kept this old English tradition in mind, imagining the accessories, objects, gifts or other derivatives that we, in turn, would use and display at our wedding.


That's why we have created accessories and jewelry inspired by this grandmother's tradition that has been perpetuated over time, to help you in this search and let you take part in this sweet saying that appeals to your imagination. .


For the "something old", and with our love for beautiful vintage things, we've always dreamed of arriving at church or town hall in a beautiful wedding-themed vintage convertible car.

Barrette YES


On the "borrowed something", we were briefed: our pretty mum carefully kept her wedding veil in anticipation of her daughters' wedding! For her, there is no question of looking elsewhere! We leave it to your family and friends to share their happiness with you by lending you that little something that will make the difference!


This is where we come in! We have made jewelry for you that will enchant you for that "something blue". We have used blue natural stones or stones with bluish reflections for a more romantic and harmonious rendering. Find among our collections of wedding accessories what to dress in your little "something blue" with our filter created for this purpose!

SOMETHING OLD

"Something Old" represents the connection with the past and the transmission of an inheritance. This detail can be an antique jewel, a vintage brooch, or an accessory that belonged to a mother or grandmother.

Why not opt ​​for a pearl comb or barrette inspired by period jewelry ? Crystal or lace headpieces also recall the timeless charm of weddings of yesteryear.

Tip : Dreaming of a retro wedding? Pair your hairstyle with an antique barrette , a delicate tiara or a vintage convertible car for an unforgettable arrival!

SOMETHING BORROWED

3. Something Borrowed: A jewel charged with emotion

Wearing an accessory lent by a loved one symbolizes the transmission of lasting happiness. Why not borrow a wedding veil, a precious brooch or earrings from a loved one ?

If you don't have an accessory to borrow, you can always incorporate a sentimental detail, such as:

  • A family ring mounted on a bracelet
  • A small lace ribbon sewn to your dress
  • A vintage hairpin given to me by a friend

This personal touch will make your outfit even more special and meaningful.

SOMETHING BLUE

Blue is the color of fidelity, purity and luck in love. You can integrate it subtly with jewelry adorned with natural blue stones or with blue reflections .
