Just because it was the royal wedding didn’t mean that a common time honored tradition could be skipped!
The newly married Princess Kate Middleton was no exception when it came to this cardinal bridal rule, but what exactly did she have as her something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue?
The Today Show’s website broke it down for the billions of people whose eyes were glued to the TV as they watched the real life fairy tale:
Something old: The bridal gown, from Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, featured “traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship,” a lace technique that dates back to the 1800s.
Something new: Her parents gifted their daughter with custom-made diamond oak-leaf earrings with a diamond-encrusted acorn set in the middle, a nod to their new family crest.
Something borrowed: Kate’s tiara, on loan from the queen herself, per royal wedding tradition, is a 1936 Cartier “halo.”
Something blue: We can’t see it, but a blue ribbon is sewn into the interior of her dress.
