Now that my shoe crisis has been averted (fingers crossed), I am trying to cleverly put together my perfect wedding day look (without breaking the bank). Budget is important to us- as we haven't yet fulfilled our life ambition of winning lotto, but since I am a bit of a princess the right look probably takes priority.
As my dress (which cannot be pictured as FI has been known to drop by and read this from time to time- Hi Honey) has a sweetheart neckline (it's ok- he doesn't know what that means) and I have decided against a necklace, this has left me with only having to find earrings and a bracelet for my bridal jewellery.
I found the earrings sometime back on eBay and I have to say they are pretty special- gorgeous crystal drop earrings with a slight vintage feel AND only $19.99. This left me pondering the bracelet. I have been umming and ahh-ing over a few styles and today decided on something a little different. It will be my only "splash of colour" and my something blue...
It is very different to what I thought of going with but I do love the idea of a tiny bit of colour- especially considering everything else is varying shades of cream. I also loved the price - another $19.99.
Now I just need to work on something old and borrowed... Any ideas?

depending on how you are doing your hair thaere are awesome vintage hairpins for something old or borrowed? Is that your jewellry finalised? Iknow a lady that has a bit of jewellery and some awesome vintage stuff she doesn't let anyone know about. You might have that sorted though. Beautiful Bracelet by the way! I still wear my necklace all the time.
What about a borrowed song (very My best friends wedding)
Ooh that's a good idea. But we have already asked the musicians to learn a song for the ceremony and asked the band to learn a specific song for our first dance. Nicely of course- I am high maintenance but defintely not Bridezilla. I just want to keep the jewellery simple so it is just the bracelet and earrings. I have a vintage inspired head piece to wear- photo not shown as I want him to be surprised :-)
