My sneaky "something blue"


I'm getting married in three days!

We're picking and choosing which wedding traditions to go with, but I figured I ought to wear something old, something new (which I was doing anyway), something borrowed, and something blue.  I have nothing against blue but it's not one of our wedding colors, and I'm not doing the garter thing so no blue ribbon there or anything, and I don't want to wear jewelry with blue on it.  BHLDN offers the pale blue Dew Drop Pin for $115, but I didn't want to add that, either.

So, my solution was, I took a piece of $0.50/spool blue ribbon and made a bow.  I sewed it to the center front of my bra.  No pics of that, sorry, internet... ;)

Sneaky!  And it doesn't affect anything else I'm wearing, so no worries about color or showage.  Now I'm all set, right? ;)

What were your old/new/borrowed/blue pieces, if any?

(If you made any of your accessories, or did any other DIYs for your wedding, I'd love for you to share them in the Adventures in Dressmaking DIY Weddings Flickr group!!)
