Something Old, Something Borrowed, Something Blue


Vintage Eisenberg Brooch

My last blog post discussed different ways in which you could wear vintage brooches.  To complement that post, today, I'd like to talk about using vintage jewelry as wedding accessories.


Vintage jewelry is timeless, elegant, and modernly fashionable, all at the same time.  Vintage jewelry can be used by the Bride, the Mother of the Bride, and the Bridesmaids to complement and accent their ensembles on that special day.


Vintage jewelry can also help you fulfil those old superstitions for a happy and prosperous wedding by being both something old and something blue.

Or even being something borrowed - what a way to pay tribute to a loved one by borrowing a piece of her vintage jewelry, just like Kate Middleton did, for your accessory.


A highly creative use for vintage jewelry as a wedding accessory is to make a bouquet of vintage jewelry.  Just attach your favorite vintage brooches to the petals and ribbons of your bouquet.  For your man, you can make a matching boutonniere out of similar brooches.

And don't forget that you can always use your vintage brooch to accent your updo on your special day.

Many wedding blessings to you from the Etsy Vintage Team.
