Horay it's Friday! Let me cap wedding week with a final blah to Tada! transformation dedicated to the bride and all her best friends.
Here's the blah...an old handkerchief.
Here's the Tada!...an old handkerchief, but one that's personal & sentimental.
It's meant for best friends to share and pass on.
Each lady's name and wedding date are written (or embroidered) on the handkerchief. 
It marks that special day when she was a bride. 
Then it's passed on to the next bride!
This has all the elements a bride needs for her wedding day:Something OLD: the handkerchief
Something NEW: the NEW bride's name & wedding date
Something BORROWED: the handkerchief that's passed on
among friends
Something BLUE: the embroidery thread
The current bride keeps it in her care until a new engagement is announced. It can be presented to the bride-to-be at the engagement party or bridal shower.
This handkerchief can also be a wonderful heirloom piece from mother to daughter or shared among sisters.
Who says new wedding traditions can't be created?
Have a Tada! weekend everyone!
