Imitation Jewelry for your White Wedding
Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something blue, and a Silver sixpence in her shoe… It’s a superstition that you need to have all of the above included on your wedding day, so you can have a long and happy marriage. And while we don’t think anything’s going to happen to your marriage if you don’t follow these rules (it’s much more important that you’ve chosen the right person to get married to) it is a fun way of building some items into your wedding look. People are definitely going to ask you what items you’ve got on that are old, new, borrowed and blue, so you might as well have something to tell them.
1. Something old: Beading can make a dress look extra glamorous, but it can also get pricey. Bride Morgan Moo Brink ingeniously sewed pearls from her mother's wedding dress into the detail on her own to get an extra bit of detailing and honor her mother. We love this something old a whole lot.
With the trend for vintage looking like it’s not going to go away anytime soon, there are quite a few ‘old’ items that you can incorporate into your wedding look. We love the idea of wearing your mother’s or grandmother’s jewellery on the big day. It might be a brooch, garter, neckline or a pair of earrings. Maybe you had a christening bracelet you want to wear on your wedding day. Something old doesn’t have to mean clothing or accessories, either. If you’ve an old family cake topper you could use that. If there’s an old family veil that your mother, aunts or older sisters wore on their big days, ask to borrow that. Wedding veils don’t date too much, so this could be a moneysaving item for you, too.
2. Something new: This is probably the easiest part of the tradition to work in. After all, what bride doesn't want to purchase a brandnew accessory or gown for her big day? Having an imitation earrings bought from Bling Station are totally pretty and trendy, and they'll likely become a favorite part of your jewelry collection.
Your something new is most likely to be your wedding dress or the imitation jewelry ! You can buy imitation jewelry online and have a new pair of imitation diamond earrings on your wedding day to, you can also have them commissioned especially for your lucky day. In fact, many generous grooms buy their bridestobe a gift that is presented to them on the morning of their wedding, which might be something like a pearl bracelet, earrings or an imitation necklace. Alternatively, if you’re not into possessions you could treat yourself to something new that’s going to give you a different look. Just make sure your something new is something practical that you’re going to enjoy in the long term. 3. Something borrowed: Imitation is the highest form of flattery. May be your friend’s veil was so pretty that she just had to wear it for your own wedding. "My something borrowed was the veil your sister used at her wedding,” We're sure your sister will be more than flattered.
Your motherinlaw may be delighted to lend you a vintage accessory or brooch to decorate your bridal bouquet, particularly if she hasn’t had any daughters as brides herself. We think accessories are a great thing to borrow if you can. It will make the lender feel that bit closer to you on your big day. But if you can’t and still want amazing jewelry on your big day then Bling Station is up for your rescue. You can buy crazy antique looking accessories. Time to buy imitation jewelry if your something borrowed fails its luck on jewelry section.
4. Something blue: We see a lot of bridestobe add a bit of blue to their garter as their something blue, but you could choose a more visible blue accessory.
Light blue wedding shoes can look amazing with a traditional wedding dress. You could even opt for a colored wedding dress it doesn’t have to be in a dramatic shade but pale blues and pinks are right on trend now for wedding gowns.
5. And a silver sixpence for your shoe: The classic rhyme ends with a silver sixpence in your shoe. You don’t have to wear this all the time, but this is something you could borrow from a friend who had one on her big day, that way you could double your luck!
