What To Borrow For A Wedding
We all know the old saying about weddings: something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. You’re not just borrowng something to wear for the wedding, you’re “borrowing” a bit of the good fortune of a happily married friend. These days, borrowing wedding items is also very practical, as it can be an excellent way to keep expenses under control. There are many different things a bride can borrow for her wedding, from traditional to creative.
Most when choose something they can wear when looking to fufill the “something borrowed” part of the wedding good luck package. Often it is a piece of jewelry, such as the matron of honor’s tin cup necklace from her own wedding. One bride I knew fell in love with a bridal jewelry set, but did not have the money to purchase it for herself, so she talked her mother into buying the jewelry and the bride borrowed it for the wedding day (her mom got to keep it after the wedding).
Bridal veils are often the borrowed item. A veil has few uses after the wedding, unlike a beautiful tin cup necklace, so it’s smart to borrow one from a friend if possible. If the owner is willing, you can add crystal or lace to the tulle of the veil to coordinate it to your dress. It’s also very simple to swap out the headpiece to which a veil is attached. The only difficult thing to do is change the color. A veil that is darker than the dress works, but be aware that a bright veil with an ivory gown can make the dress look dingy.
Looking to shave your wedding transportation costs? See if anyone has a luxury vehicle you can borrow. Imagine how fabulous you will look driving away from your wedding in your beautiful wedding gown and tin cup necklace in a cool convertible or vintage car! Be sure to get the right insurance before borrowing a valuable car. Making your getaway in a unexpected fashion is another fun idea. If your wedding reception will take place near water, maybe you could borrow a boat from a friend. Or leave your country wedding in style on a charming tandem bicycle owned by a pal. It makes for a perfect photo-op!
Decorations are another fun, easy thing for a bride to borrow. Are any of your guests collectors? They could be a great source of décor ideas. Maybe you have a friend with an impressive assortment of Depression-era glassware to use for centerpieces. Perhaps your grandmother has a collection of silver-framed family pictures that could make the entryway to your ceremony sparkle. Imagine your mother and grandmother’s bridal portraits, and next to them, your own formal bridal portrait of you in your gown, veil, and tin cup necklace. These personal touches make a wedding special.
There’s almost no limit on the things a bride could possibly borrow for her ceremony. Check your mom’s attic– strings of white Christmas lights on palm trees makes for a beautiful summer evening reception. See if your aunt will lend you a funky old “shabby chic” dresser she restored to display the escort cards. They definitely weren’t talking about weddings when they said “neither a borrower nor a lender be”!
