Here are some of my favorite picks:
Shoes
These suede pumps are from Elizabeth and James, one of the Olsen Twins’ lines. I love the button-like detail.
I like the metallic finish on these beautiful Giuseppe Zanotti open-toe pumps.
At less than $100, these Fergie shoes have the lowest price point.
Clutches
The flower detail on this Nine West wristlet is cute and at under $50, it's cheap!
I like the ruching on this satin clutch.
In honor of the tragic passing of Mr. Lee McQueen, the luminary British designer, I wanted to include this modern, art-deco influenced Alexander McQueen clutch. Love the geometric print. RIP Mr. McQueen.
Headbands
At $200, this ban.do headband is pricey for a hair accessory but it’s also so bold that the bride could skip additional jewelry.
At $38 this headband is much more affordable but no less scene-stealing.
Hope some of the featured items inspire you! I think every bride should have fun with her "something blue." I also think that any of these items would be beautiful on any girl, engaged or not!
Let me know what you think!

At first I was a bit put-off by the purity symbolism of the color blue - this blog is the first time I've given thought to the significance of symbols in weddings, like the white dress. But, your previous blog post about so many bizarre wedding rituals shows that a lot of our daily customs have unsavory origins.
ReplyDeleteOn a more frivolous note, I like those blue suede shoes! I can't imagine them with a very frou-frou traditional dress but they look good for a modern bride. I also like the idea of wearing a great hairpiece - ban.do has really nice ones :)
Love the blue idea! I'm definitely going to rock it on my wedding day (whenever that is!). Of course, the McQueen clutch is genius and the Fergie shoes are actually great for the $$$! Elizabeth and James have always been a favorite of mine as well! All in all, you could pick out my "something blue" anyday!
ReplyDeleteHJ: I am obsessed with ban.do, I seriously want everything they make.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ambs! I like the McQueen clutch the best I think.
ReplyDeletelove the fergie shoes; sad they are by fergie.
ReplyDeletei think blue shoes is a great idea, since you get a fun color pop, but it's also somewhat hidden for the more conservative, traditional bride.
haha i know re: fergie. i hate when celebrities design clothing lines and in some ways, i hate it more when they are good!
