You know the wedding day rhyme: \u201cSomething old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.\u201d It started back in 19th<\/sup> century England, and each part has its own origins. The \u201csomething borrowed\u201d comes from the belief that borrowing something from a happy, successful friend or relative will bring that same happiness to you. Today\u2019s brides are finding modern ways to incorporate it. Birkat Elyon<\/a>, who\u2019s been providing couples with dazzling cubic zirconia rings<\/a> since 1985, shares the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JEWELRY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you could wear your Nana\u2019s brooch, but why not work a borrowed piece of jewelry into your bouquet instead? Another fresh idea is wrapping a string of borrowed pearls around the stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FABRIC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a snippet of fabric from your mother or grandmother\u2019s wedding dress and stitch it onto yours. This is a lovely way to honor them, especially if their dress isn\u2019t quite your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TABLEWARE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorate a tablescape with antique vases or pieces of china from a favorite relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBORROW\u201d A DRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hot trend among brides is to borrow the dress (literally) by renting it. There are a number of reputable clothing rental companies online and they offer several advantages over buying a dress: you don\u2019t have to worry about cleaning or preserving it afterward, and it saves you a ton of money. (Another thing that saves you big money? Opting for cubic zirconia rings<\/a> or cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a>; they\u2019re affordable and indistinguishable from the real thing!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A TREASURED RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be anything from a recipe for a special cocktail to a dessert you made with your grandmother when you were a kid. Be sure to share the \u201cwhy\u201d with your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YOUR FIRST DANCE SONG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play the song your parents danced to at their own wedding (be sure to have the DJ tell the back story on your selection).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
