Incorporating the past (Heirlooms)

I am asked all of the time the best way to incorporate family heirlooms into the bride's attire.

Broaches are great to pin on your bouquet stem wrapping - or any type of Jewelry can be incorporated in to the actual flowers themselves. This is really nice because they are visible and can be seen by your guests.

One of my brides had her grandmothers pearls incorporated in with the flowers and around the stem wrap. It was beautiful!

If you are not a sparkle girl --- you can take a piece of fabric from your mom's or grandmother's gown and have that wrapped around your flowers stems.

Metals and other memoibilia that is special to you can be pinned inside of your dress somewhere. If your dress allows, you can pin it on the part of your dress that is closest to your heart!!  (You will just have to pin it carefully as not to have the pin show through)!
