Irish Harp Penny Coin diameter 30.9 mm (1.21 in) Sixpence diameter 21 mm (0.82 in) SOMETHING NEW This represents the new chapter in the bride's life and the future she will spend with her spouse. It is used as a token of hope for the happy couple's long future together. Something new can be an exchange of rings between the husband and bride, or it can be the bride's dress itself. SOMETHING BORROWED This item usually comes from a family member or a friend of the bride who is happily married. The reason for this is that the sense of happiness will transfer over to the bride and stay with the happy couple for years to come, and that the bride can always seek support from her family and friends. Common items include jewellery, a garter, or even the dress. SOMETHING BLUE Blue is the colour of love, purity, faithfulness, and modesty. To keep with tradition, the bride can wear a blue piece of jewellery. But for a modern take, you can write a little note or other small message in blue on the bottom of her shoes. AND A SIXPENCE IN HER SHOE The Irish sixpence represents wealth, both financially along with the riches of a happy marriage. An element of superstition is also connected with this Irish wedding tradition. The sixpence works as a lucky charm that will keep the bride safe on her wedding day.
