9 Wedding Ideas for Your "Something Old"


"Something Old" is the first line to a traditional wedding rhyme that offers a bride in detail what she should wear for good luck. Brides often feel deeply connected to their "something old" because it means that selected item has a piece of history with them. This item can be a sweet gesture to honor a family member or a close and dear friend. Here are some of our ideas and would love to hear what you did/will do on your special day.
