Jewelry is often used to fulfill part of the tradition of wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” on the wedding day. When choosing earrings, try them on with your veil to be certain they will complement one another. If you’ll be sporting a contemporary gown, feel free to go with a bolder jewelry look, but if you’ll be clad in a traditional wedding gown it is best to wear classic jewelry such as gold, pearls and diamonds.

Some choose to wear white stockings or pantyhose, while others go with nude or flesh tones. If you choose white, try to match the shade to the gown as closely as possible. You never realize how many different shades of white there are until you try to match your wedding accessories. Once you find the perfect stockings, buy an extra pair so you’ll be prepared if you get a run in the first on your wedding day.
