Something Old, Something New...

Something Old

• Instead of a new wedding ring, you might want to purchase an antique ring or wear one that has been passed down through your family.
• If you can't find an antique ring, don't despair! Why not wear antique earrings or wedding jewellery on your wedding day.
• Purchase some vintage buttons and have them incorporated into your wedding gown design
• Tie some antique lace around your bouquet for an elegant touch that will still help you maintain the tradition

Something New

• This one should be easy, you'll have plenty of new things on the day. What better 'new' item than your wedding gown!

• Look beautiful and touch up your makeup during the day with brand new lipstick or eye shadow
