Meg just wrote about using Irregular Choice blue shoes as your "something blue." When I got married, I wore a pair of very pale blue heels. Style-wise, they were perfect and understated and I loved the sly pop of color they gave my wedding outfit. In terms of fit, though, they were hideously, horribly uncomfortable – and our ceremony was only fifteen minutes long! I took them off in the car on the way home and they have never been on my feet again. If I had to do it over again I'd pick Cynthia Rowley or Fifi Annika shoes, I think, which are white with blue soles or footbeds.

And for the record: my dress was new, my lingerie was old (although, really, it was my wedding day, so it wasn't that old) and my something borrowed was the Kleenex that our Officiant handed me halfway through the ceremony. I used it to dry my eyes and then thought, WAIT, we're going to exchange rings in about forty-five seconds, what on earth do I do with the Kleenex NOW? (In the end, I rolled it into a tube shape and flung it into the first row of seats. And now you know the real reason we eloped: if we hadn't, the Kleenex would have landed on my Grandfather, or worse, my new in-laws.)
