Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and A Silver Sixpence in Your Shoe.
If you are looking to stick with the traditional notion of something old and something new - we have some ideas for something old.
- Borrow an old Handkerchief from a Grandparent - covering something old and something borrowed.
- Remember loved ones who have passed with something symbolic - a photo, a charm and have it woven into your dress or bridal bouquet
- An old wedding car - Make your transport for the day a vintage car - there are some beautiful old vehicles on offer to hire for the day. This is also a great task for your Groom - a way to keep him involved!
If you decide your something old will be a piece of jewellery we offer a range of Bridal services that are designed to get you wedding day ready. We are here to help you prepare your jewellery for your special day. That might involve cleaning your engagement ring or helping you to repair a special heirloom that you would like to wear on the day.

Staff Tip:
“I wore a family jewellery heirloom on my wedding day. A diamond ring which was made by my Grandfather and Dad had held onto for many years just for this occasion. We cleaned up the ring and gave it a rhodium plate and it looked just as good as new next to my engagement and wedding rings on the day. It was a lovely sentimental addition to my wedding outfit” - Jess
