If a bride carries each item in the English poem – “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe”— her marriage will be fortuitous and filled with love, according to legend. Even the most tradition-allergic brides can find something whimsical in the rhyme.

No blue in your bouquet or color scheme? No worries. Pick a detail that reflects your personality and aesthetic. You could pin a simple vintage blue ribbon to the underside of your gown. Or, snag Ray-Ban’s iconic shades in funky aqua. Wear them for your beach wedding and happily ever after.
