Continuity. This represents the link with the bride's family and the
past. You can choose
to wear a piece of your mother's or grandmother's wedding gown or
perhaps a piece of their antique jewelry.

|
|
|
Optimism
and hope. This represents good fortune and much success in the bride's
new life. Often the
wedding gown is chosen as the new item. If you're wearing your mother's gown, your shoes could be
the new item! Or give yourself a good excuse to buy yourself a nice piece
of jewelry! Nice
lingerie will also be a good choice.

|
Happiness
shared from happily married couples. A reminder to the bride that her family and friends will be
there for her when help is needed. Choose something that belongs to a loved one. You can borrow your sister's veil or her earrings. Borrow your grandmother's lace handkerchief.

Fidelity,
love and purity. This
represents faithfulness and loyalty. Most brides choose a blue garter. Don't like that idea? Paint your toenails blue! Or wear sapphire earrings.

Life
of fortune. Make
sure you put that sixpence in your shoe for luck!
