Have you heard of this famous phrase?: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (and a sixpence in her shoe).” At LALA MARKET, we love it, because even though it’s a tradition, it can be embraced in a modern, heartfelt, and sustainable way.
SOMETHING OLD
It represents continuity, family, and a connection to the past. It can be grandma’s ring, lace from your mom’s wedding dress, or a detail passed through generations. We believe that secondhand dresses carry a story that continues with you.
SOMETHING NEW
A symbol of a fresh start and happiness in marriage. For you, the dress from LALA will feel brand new, even if it has already lived its first story. You’ll give it a second wedding and that’s beautiful :)
SOMETHING BORROWED
It’s meant to bring support and good luck from loved ones. With us, you can borrow a veil or hair accessory for free, so you keep the tradition and get a little extra joy on top.
SOMETHING BLUE
The color of loyalty and love. Sometimes a small touch is enough - a garter, a ribbon, or a subtle accent on the dress.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE “SIXPENCE”?
In the original version, it was placed in the bride’s shoe to bring financial luck. This custom didn’t spread much here, but you can always slip a coin into your heel. Let it jingle for good vibes and a happy beginning.
TRADITION - BUT LALA STYLE?
Traditions don’t have to feel old-fashioned. All they need is your personal story. And we’re here to help you create it:
- Something old: a family detail or a dress with a story
- Something new: your dream dress from our secondhand collection
- Something borrowed: a veil or accessory borrowed from us for free
- Something blue: a small detail that makes your outfit unique
