“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”. It’s certainly one of the most well-known wedding traditions, and here at Beauty Expert, it’s a tradition we’d love to celebrate. It’s been said that this traditional saying actually comes from an old English poem, with each item representing a good luck token for the bride; leading to a happy marriage.
Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future, something borrowed symbolises borrowed happiness, while something blue represents love, fidelity and modesty.
For some beauty inspiration, look no further than Beauty Expert. We’ve put a spin on this famous tradition; with a selection of the best products and ideas to help you get creative on your special day.
Starting off the tradition with “Something old”, we bring you the ultimate staple item – Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. Created more than 70 years ago by Elizabeth Arden herself, this skincare classic was the first ever product to be created and it’s certainly stood the test of time. Initially, it was intended to help calm, protect and hydrate skin for up to 8 hours. But with so many uses, it’s no wonder why so many women rely on this miracle cream to solve almost any skin problem. From rehydrating chapped lips, soothing sun-burned skin, to healing dry skin, it’s the ultimate skin saviour.
Perfect for your special day, here are 8 of our favourite uses:
