Something blue – bracelet and or necklace

An old English rhyme, “Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe”. Started what is now one of the most followed wedding traditions of them all. Wearing a touch of blue on your wedding day is not just common but thought of by many in Western cultures to be sine qua non (to be essential and indisputable). The tone and shade of the touch of blue is of course up to you though. There are many precious gems and stones in blue shades. The way each stone is in its raw form, how it is cut and how it is set will all affect the exact color of each stone.  Any of these can be incorporated into necklaces, earrings, or bracelets. We have two Tacori sky blue topaz wedding jewelry pieces below that we are sure will be part of your 5 things to wear.

The final (and most important) thing to wear on your wedding day

Finally, the fifth and last thing to wear on your wedding day. You will be shocked to know that it is not a piece of jewelry per se. But it is a smile on your face. As Audrey Hepburn has been quoted with saying, “The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.” It is your big day and we are sure that regardless of whether you wear all 5 of the things to wear on your wedding day or just this one you will be stunning. There are a lot of guides, how to’s and lists to help you prepare for your wedding day. The most important though is to enjoy.

Bask in your happiness and your love, we say. For surely that is the most important and what your friends, family and guests are most concerned with anyways. At the risk of sounding way to sentimental we will leave you with another quote from Hepburn herself. One that says more about marriage than we ever could. “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”
