Google is so insightful...
Basically all of the objects from that poem are all to bring you good luck.
Plenty of sites sell 'sixpences'...The only thing I have yet to figure out is how you keep a coin in your high heeled shoe all day...Without it giving you a blister, or without falling out of the shoe.
I found several websites going into depth about what each object signifies.
Here is a synopsis:
"...the four objects that the bride adds to her wedding outfit or carries with her on the big day are just good luck charms. Don't stress too much about them -- they are the little tokens of love your mother, sister, other relatives, and attendants will give you at the eleventh hour (although you can give them to yourself, too). Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness; something blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe is a wish for good fortune and prosperity, although this remains largely a British custom."
