A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and the past. Some brides wear their mother’s 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 there to help her.
