In the western wedding culture, it is a tradition to get something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
The 'old' will symbolise the 'previous' life and ties with families. A piece of jewellery, or family heirloom is usually used for this.
The 'new' means the journey after the wedding, into the new life.
Why something borrowed? The newly weds will have good fortune if they manage to borrow something from a couple who is happily married. Blessings in other words.
And finally, the 'Blue' is thought to ward off evil spirits as it has long been associated with loyalty and devotion. A hinge of Blue flowers to your bouquet or table arrangements can easily fulfill this requirement!
