Borrowed

This is a reminder to the bride that her family will always be there for her because when you borrow something you must return it. It is customary to borrow something from a parent as they are usually closest to you.

Blue

In biblical times, blue represented purity so carrying this color with you symbolized your innocence. Many brides use a blue bow on their garter as a simple touch.
