Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

I love wedding traditions, and was so excited to pick out what would work as my "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something New."  I went without the penny in my shoe since I planned to wear sandals.  I did however plan to add a few other pieces.

I had read about an idea where you get a new fragrance for your wedding, and then every time you wear that fragrance again, you think of your big day.  Scent memory is amazing, and I fell in love with this idea.  My future husband and I searched for the perfect scent, and finally found one that we love in Marc Jacobs called Oh, Lola!

Draped around the fragrance you can see my "Something Borrowed" which is a pearl necklace that belongs to my mother.  I'm not sure if it counts as "Borrowed" still because I have yet to give them back. (I love pearls.)

For the Old and Blue, I chose a few different pieces.  I had a lace garter which my sister bought me on Etsy.   It is hard to see in the picture, but there is a blue jewel in the middle.  The other blue item was a necklace pendant that my future husband had bought me only a few months into dating.  It is a silver pendant with a silver cross at the top and three pieces of blue pearl.  This was attached to a broach that belonged to my grandmother along with her vintage ring that I inherited.  These three pieces were pinned to the inside of my bodice right above my heard (cheesy, yes, but this is the time to be cheesy).

Along with these items, my mother found one of my grandmother's old handkerchiefs which fit in perfectly with the vision of my wedding.

I had a custom made vail, which I did not plan to wear during the reception, so I got a ribbon with some sparkles for my hair instead.

It was so pretty, and I got a lot of compliments, however it was constantly coming untied.  Luckily I had an amazing Maid of Honor in my sister who was always there to fix it whenever I needed her to!

I was so happy that my photographer took pictures of all of my accessories!  While small, they had so much meaning to me and my family, especially the items that belonged to my grandmother.
