A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and the past. Some brides wear their mother's wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. Something new means good luck and hope for a happy future with her new husband. Again, this item may be the dress, but often it is a pair of new shoes.

These days, some brides are creative with this item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or wearing a garter on their leg.
