I had so much fun gathering my something old, new borrowed and blue. I wanted everything to mean something profound to me as I was going through my magical day.
My something old was two pocket size pictures. One image of my grandparents and a second one of my parents as a young couple. My parents and grandparents had successful marriages and having these images with me meant good luck and happiness.
I decided to wrap these pictures around my father’s handkerchief. And this was my something borrowed! This was my mom’s idea and I thought it was a clever one.
Then, my something blue was my garter that had ”I do” in blue around the Ivory fabric. I didn’t want the blue to take aware from the delicate Yvory color around my dress and accesories. When I was at the store and found this garter at an inexpensive price, I had to buy it.

This will be difficult without seeing my dress…but, unfortunately, I can’t post it. My fiancé follows all of my blogs. Yea, it is sweet of him but not when I want to show you the dress!
Anyway, think: Retro Glam. Marilyn Monroe, Rat Pack, etc. There is some jeweled detail on the dress… I am looking for a large cuff bracelet or several bangle bracelets in a jeweled pattern of squares, rectangles, triangles, ovals, you name it. For my earrings, same jewels but a drop earring, nothing round or hoop-ish.
This is my jewelry inspiration from Haute Bride:

Recently, I read through the checklist and timing emails that find their way to my inbox each day. Good thing – there is just around eight months left to go and apparently it is time to get hopping on accessories, such as veils.
There was a time when I knew that veils weren’t me and that one would not be perched on my head on the wedding day. That all changed as I began to try on wedding dresses and the consultants would bring them out, place them on and a slight tear would form in the corner of my eye. That was a sign- it was time to reconsider. Isn’t it funny how everything changes from our vision to our reality??
