wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. Something new means good luck and hope for a happy future with
her new husband. Again, this item may be the dress, but often it is a pair of new shoes. Something borrowed
such as a friend’s handkerchief a married friend’s bridal veil means the bride has friends and family who are
willing to help her. Something blue is a symbol of trust and faith between the couple. These days, some
brides are creative with this item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or wearing a garter on the
their leg. Another tradition says that the groom should take the garter after the ceremony and throw it to the
single men. The man who catches it will be the next one to get married.
