Wedding Tradition..

As all royal weddings, tradition is a key aspect so Williams and Kate's marriage will be no exception. Big venue, white dress etc. but what about the superstitions.. most famous being:

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

'This rhyme originated in Victorian times. 'Something Old' signifies that the Couple's friends will stay with them. In one version of the tradition the 'Something Old' was an old garter which was given to the bride by a happily married woman so that the new bride would also enjoy a happy marriage. 'Something New' looks to the future for health, happiness and success.

'Something Borrowed' is an opportunity for the Bride's family to give her something as a token of their love (it must be returned to ensure Good Luck), and 'Something Blue' is thought lucky because Blue represents fidelity and constancy. The custom began in ancient Israel where brides wore a blue ribbon in their hair to symbolise their fidelity.'

What better way to create a story than to follow this superstition,

Something old: a previous royal engagements style adapted to fall into the vintage trend (something Diana previously wore etc.)

Something new: an outfit she has wore to one of the public events since the engagement

Something borrowed: a slant on the comedy side, she could be wearing a crown (borrowed from the queen) or holding a corgi

Something blue: the iconic blue dress she wore in the photo's after the engagement or the ring

Each image will highlight the superstition but also relate back to our original image.
