After complimenting my sweet grandmother on her turquoise earrings a few times, I became the proud new owner of these vintage gems. The earrings have been passed down for generations, and were given to my grandma by her mother. I started thinking about how gorgeous these would be for a bride's something blue, and since they're vintage, they'd count for her something old, too!
I've always been a fan of turquoise. The stone, the color, you name it. If you're like me, then turquoise...

I'm the youngest of three girls so growing up, I was sporting my sisters' hand-me-downs like nobody's business. And when we did go shopping, it was to Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Not Nordstrom or Saks.
I grew up thinking that Nordstrom was expensive and only appropriate when looking to splurge. But after doing some side-by-side comparisons of products in Nordstrom's Wedding Suite and designer items in Net-a-Porter's...

There are so many personal and meaningful ways to do the "Something Old, Something New" tradition in your wedding. But I have to admit that my favorite is "something blue," which is why I had five somethings blue for my wedding!
The hanky was vintage and given to me by my mother. She pinned trinkets and special mementos to it to represent my loved ones who weren't at my wedding but with me in spirit (my father's wedding band, and something that belonged to my grandmother and...

I've always loved Kate Spade's brand because of its colorful quirkiness, and they haven't toned it down just because they've started a wedding line, which I love even more!
They have lots of gifts that would be perfect for bridesmaids and brides alike, and none that would break the bank, which is always a bonus in my book. Here are some of my favs....

There are some really amazing designers out there specializing in retro glam. All three artists here create as close an authenticity to the 1920s as you can find. Typically hats and veils from that era were worn snug and low on the head and had incredible lace, feather and jewel details. I love the idea of adding that one wowzer piece to a wedding ensemble to make it unique and truly yours...
