Something old, something new

An English rhyme listing four things a bride carries for luck, plus a sixpence in her shoe.

A pattern drawn for this page, not a picture of Something old, something new.

Also: something borrowed, something blue, old new borrowed blue

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe, is an English rhyme from the Victorian period listing items a bride should carry for luck. Old links her with her family and past, new with her future, borrowed with the goodwill of friends, ideally from a happily married woman, and blue with fidelity. The sixpence is for wealth. The custom is followed across the English-speaking world, and the items are often small, such as a hanky, a brooch or a ribbon.
