It is a tradition to give a bride a lucky sixpence on the day of her wedding and this custom has been practiced for many years and is steeped in history. It was originally part of the rhyme, ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe’. The latter part of the rhyme became less and less used once the sixpence coin was no longer minted from silver. This refers to the Victorian tradition of the Brides Father placing a silver sixpence coin in his daughters left shoe to brig her and her new husband a lifetime of health, wealth and wedded bliss.
