Perhaps you have heard the saying recited to a bride who is planning her wardrobe for her big day, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”
I am frequently asked, “Why do brides wear something blue?”
This tradition comes from ancient Israel where brides wore a blue ribbon on their clothing to signify their fidelity, love, and modesty.
Also, the color blue is associated with the innocence and purity of the Virgin Mary.
