While we all know to include something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue, the meaning behind each has become lost over the years. According to tradition, “something old” represents a connection to the past while “something new” encourages hope for the future. “Something borrowed” represents happiness, and “something blue…” Well, this stands for purity, love, and fidelity. This year, let your “something blue” be “Classic Blue” and make sure everything about your wedding announces an optimistic and prosperous future together.
