This new item is usually a pair of new shoes, or it can be the wedding dress or something else. When the bride wears 'something borrowed’, it symbolizes the help and support shegets from herfriendsandherfamily whenevershe needs it. Anexample of 'something borrowed’ can be a married friend's bridal veil or a friend's handkerchief. 'Something blue’ means trust and faith between the bride and the groom. Nowadays, some brides are creative with this item. For example, they may have their fingernails painted blue. Nevertheless, the most popular blue item is the garter that the bride wears on her leg. Things are changing fast these days; however, the rituals about what the bride should wear on her wedding day remain kept strictly by a lot of women in the USA.
