Something Old, Something New….5 Cool DIY Wedding Craft Tutorials for You!

 

Although largely a British custom, the old English rhyme “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” connected to weddings is said to attest to the human tendency to value continuity and new beginnings, unity and separation.
