Suggested budget for accessories is 1%, so if you have a $20,000 budget you should be spending $200 on your attire accessories. As with any other area of the budget, if you need more in this category you can shift the other areas around. Take a section of the budget you won't be using all of and move the extra to your accessories category.

"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..." is a good-luck saying originated in the Victorian era. Brides today often incorporate special items into their wedding attire and accessories according to the rhyme.
"Something Old" symbolizes a link to the bride's family and the past. A family heirloom, such as a piece of antique jewelry or a family member's wedding dress can represent the old object. Or, a bride can sew lace or ribbon into the hem of her dress.
"Something New" represents good fortune and success in the bride's new life. A bride may wear a new string of pearls, or use her wedding gown as the new item.
"Something Borrowed" symbolizes the love and support of family and friends in times of need. A borrowed object can be a token from a happily married friend, such as a lace handkerchief.
"Something Blue" is an object that symbolizes faithfulness and loyalty. Brides commonly choose a blue garter or ribbon.

:: TIPS ::
1. Accessories for your wedding day attire are sometimes passed down by family members or loaned to you by your best girlfriends...take advantage! This option is not only sentimental and sweet, but the extra bonus is that it doesn't cost you anything.
2. The bridal salon where you buy your gown will have accessories as well. Sometimes if you buy them at the same time as the dress, you can get a discount that will help you out. See what's available at the bridal salons when you go looking for your dress.
