Pearls – From the traditional Princess length pearl necklace to a stunning pendent earrings, or even a bracelet pearls mixed with other precious gemstones, there is something about pearls that completes a bride’s look. It is very feminine that will add a classic touch to your wedding gown. Wear it however you please and you will look absolutely exquisite! Even bridal headpieces, veils, and gowns are adorned with pearls to create a sophisticated effect.

 Marry In Blue, Always Be true, So Wear Something Blue – A twist to the classic saying, I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of incorporating “Something Blue” in any wedding ensemble. If that is not your style, you can always find other ways to include something blue in your look. Invest in a pair of Hangisi Satin Pump by Manolo Blahnik (Sex and The City fans, you know what I am talking about) to add a pop of color to your ivory or white gown. You can also include blue embroidery, sapphire beading, aquamarine nail polish, or even adding a flower or two of “Something Blue” in your bouquet. Either one you choose, it will definitely add a subtle touch of blue to your glamorous wedding.

Family Heirloom – Incorporating a piece of family heirloom to your wedding look is also important because it contains sentimental value. These pieces have probably been passed down from generation of family members so it definitely has a significant meaning. A friend of mine recently got married and opted for a simple, gold necklace surrounded by Amethyst rhinestones as her only piece of jewelry. She didn’t have any accessories with the exception of the necklace and looked absolutely gorgeous! Not only the necklace complimented her make-up look and her breathtaking cream gown, it has a very special meaning to her since it has been worn by three generation of women in her family: From her Grandmother, Mother, and now her. Opting to choose your (or your future husband) family’s heirloom definitely adds to concept of “Something Old” with a twist of contemporary influence. So if you have a family heirloom or looking to start one, be sure to include it in your look! From a necklace, bracelet or even a simple bridal comb,  your distinct jewelry will mesmerize everyone at your wedding as you walk down the isle.

A unique and retro necklace I found at an Estate sale. It makes a very bold statement that reminds me of a Maiden’s signature neck-piece during the Victorian Era. So vintage and stylish!
