something blue:
"Something old" is the first line of a traditional rhyme which details what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck:
Something old,
something new,
something borrowed,
something blue,
and a silver sixpence in her shoe.
The colour blue was a sign of fidelity.
Another compilation of the era frames this poem as "a Lancashire version", as contrast against a Leicestershire recitation that "a bride on her wedding day should wear—'Something new, Something blue, Something borrowed'...", and so omits the "something old". The authors note that this counters other regional folklore warning against the wearing of blue on the wedding day, but relates the use of the color to phrases like "true blue" which make positive associations with the color.
