Something Old For Your Rustic Wedding

something-old-for-wedding
Just about every bride is familiar with the common wedding day tradition of “Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” It comes from an old English rhyme and using those tokens on your wedding day is said to bring an extra bit of luck to the bride and her partner.We wanted to take a look at some new ways to weave this sweet tradition into your wedding day style. First up, something old. We love the idea of using vintage pieces costume jewelry in clever, unique ways as your “Something Old.” Take a look at this gorgeous, sparkling bouquet made entirely of antique costume jewelry like brooches, earrings and pendants from Carmen West Creative. We especially love the subtle touch of burlap at the base of the bouquet to balance out all that the glitz and shine.
