What are some personal touches that you plan on wearing or carrying on your wedding day?

Original post by AMGBride2008

For me, I'll carry my great grandmothers rosery beads down the aisle (I'll have the florist somehow wrap them in the bo-k). They so old and the beads are made out of rose petals, so they smell like roses.

I also want a personalized tag on the inside of my dress.

I hope to take the extra fabric from my dress and make a pocket square for FH that has something embroidered on it...

FH really wanted to do some sort of theme.. Were being introduced to the A-team theme. FH is wearing a kilt and he and his GMs may dress up as the ateam later on in the night for the after party..

We are having a zombie grooms cake..

Were looking to have a LI Rapper come and do a set (FH's friend) again, later on in the night.

Im having something of my grandmas put into my getup some how..I have to go see her to figure it out...

i love everyones ideas!!!

i am going to be wearing (most likely if it goes with the dress) my mothers veil....it was actually her great grandmothers veil....so it is over 100 years old and gorgeous!!

for the reception my mom is going to be making homemade blueberry jam in small jars. we are wrapping purple ribbon around the jar lid and using them for placecards for the tables. i saw this idea on here and i loved it! my mom makes blueberry jam every year so it was pefect and the purple color of it goes with my purple theme.

we are also going to have a candy buffett table. i have already started buying different shaped glasses and containers for it. (i have a huge oversized martini glass, and an over sized wine glass).

so far those are the things i know that i am doing....




Aww I looooooove the jam idea!!!

I have a blue embroided hankie from my Grandma that I will tuck in somewhere. She passed a few years ago and we were REALLY close.

A locket with a picture of my dad in it. He unexpectedly passed away of a heart attack a few years ago. So, he'll kinda be walking me down the aisle....



I'm so sorry for your loss. The same thing happened to my father, its soooo hard. I'm planning on doing the same with the locket, and wrap it around my bouquet.

Depending on which one i like better they are putting either my grandmothers pin or my FH's Grandmothers pin somewhere on my bok (It was Phyllis from Pedestals idea) My mother told me I have to put some irish coin that was my great grandmothers in my shoe for goodluck.
