Wedding Luck

By now you’ve surely heard the saying “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue” and you’ve probably even given some thought to your own “somethings” - but do you know the significance of each piece? For many years brides have been honoring this good luck tradition, in fact the Warren Ledger newspaper in Pennsylvania printed the saying in 1894 (but unfortunately I was unable to find an actual facsimile). No one really knows how long ago the saying started, or where but following are the meanings of each:

Something Old represents continuity and a link with the bride’s past, especially her mother and grandmother. Often the bride will choose to wear a piece of old jewelry, an accessory, or an article of clothing that belonged to a female member of her family. This symbolizes a connection with her past.

Something New represents hope for the marriage and the future. Sometimes the bride will choose her wedding dress, shoes, or even wedding ring as the new item but anything new can be used. This is thought to bring luck to the bride for a happy life.

Something Borrowed represents the friends and family the bride can count on for support and love.  The borrowed item is meant to come from a woman who is happily married so her happiness will be passed on to the new bride. It is very important that the bride return the item as soon as possible after the wedding. It is thought best to borrow the item from a woman especially close to the bride-to-be.

Something Blue represents faithfulness, purity, and loyalty as blue is the token color for these values. The bride can wear a blue garter, undergarment, or even have blue frosting on the cake, as long as something blue is present and recognized for its symbolism. The groom can also contribute by wearing or providing something blue to pledge his commitment to being faithful, chaste, and true to the marriage.

    "Adam was fun, professional and just a perfect pick for my daughter's
    wedding. My wife and daughter came home from the wedding fair and were certain they had found the right company in Sound Wave Music, after meeting Adam and Kristin, they were right! The entire evening went smoothly, we loved the music and the timely announcements kept everything on schedule. Adam kept the dance floor full and we literally had guests from 2 to 95 on the floor at different times, all enjoying themselves.
    Sound Wave really is a "one call" solution for professional music and
    a fun evening."    - Mark

    "Sound Wave Music is the BEST.‎ Kristin, Adam, and the team at Sound Wave did our wedding in March and we highly recommend you book them for your next event. They really cared about giving us and our guests an amazing time and even let our guests request songs weeks before they came to the wedding. They were perfect with keeping us on time and making sure that everything went smoothly and that we all had a great time!"
