According to http://www.somethingoldsomethingnew.co.uk/ this was a good luck saying dating back from the Victorian era.
"Something old" symbolises continuity, the link between the bride and her family, in particular with her mother or grandmother.
"Something new" stands for optimism and hope of a happy married life.
"Something borrowed" should be taken from a happily married woman in order to bring some of her happiness into the new marriage. This also represents that all your friends will be there for you on your wedding day and to give support when you need it in the future.
"Something blue" for fidelity, love and faithfulness.
And the lucky silver sixpence to ensure a life of fortune :)
