Special wedding Jewelry?

Laura, on August 12, 2019 at 2:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 50

Do you have any special pieces of wedding jewelry you are planning to wear or wore for your wedding? I'd love to see your pictures!

I'm sharing a picture of a charm I plan to wear for mine. My late mother wore it when she married my late father in 1966. I am on the hunt for just the right necklace to place it it. I has matching earrings but sadly I have no idea what happened to those. It's my something old, and since my parents can't be with me that day in person this is my way of having them there. My something blue is one of my dad's military medals I plan to pin on my bouquet or under my dress.

    I wore my great grandmothers earrings and necklace. My mom also wore them on her wedding day.

    Aw that's nice. I didn't. I borrowed a bracelet from MOH but other than that I didn't really have anything else on me

    That is so beautiful and very sweet. I was just going to wear some jewelry that kind of matched our engagement rings but she found a gorgeous pearl in an oyster while on a trip to Mexico and had it placed on a necklace for me. While I'm not supposed to know about it, she couldn't help herself as soon as she got home. It took me months to find earrings to match (the pearl is a very unique color) but I finally found them on Etsy and ordered them today. Her response when I showed her the picture, "I think you found the one". Did I ever!!!

    I am borrowing sapphire earrings from my mom and a sapphire bracelet from my grandma so I have my something blue and something borrowed. I wear minimal jewelry and I don't think I am going to do a necklace (my dress has a ton of embellishment on the bust) so that may be all I wear.

    I inherited two strands of ivory pearls from my Grandma. Supposedly one real, one fake but who can tell? I’ve debated wearing a strand with my dress but I’m not sure they’ll look right.

    I wore my mothers earrings, my sister's hair piece, had my late grandfathers wedding band and my husband's late grandmothers broach on my bouquet. My husband had the matching smaller version of the broach on his boutenier

    As an engagement gift my grandmother gave me a lovely delicate silver brooch from her native country of Norway! I think I might pin it right in my dress!

    I'm not a big jewelry person either. FH is lucky I wear my engagement ring lol I love sapphires though. Originally when I thought i'd get a dress with bling I didn't plan on jewelry, but I got a dress with zero bling so jewelry it isSmiley laugh

    I'm sure it will! i've actually been considering finding a pearl strand to add the charm too. I have one that I thought about using, but they're to small for me

    I do too. Plus we are getting married in September, both my mom and grandma have September birthdays, and blue is one of our main colors - sapphires are perfect!

    That would be beautifulSmiley heart I'd considered one of my mom's cameo broaches, but decided on the charm since it was from my mom's wedding day

    Eh, I just don’t think the length is right for either strand. I have a strapless dress with some beading and embroidery on it and I think a necklace, if I wear one, should be short to keep from distracting from the dress.

    I've been looking online for something to add it too, but I think I need to go to a store for that same reason. I don't want to get the wrong length.

    That's so nice of her! If I could have found the earrings I probably would have had them made into a necklace with the charm. I have pierced ears and they were twist on.
