Something Old, Something New: Bridging tradition with your bridal look
Whether you’re of Eastern European, African, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, or Irish heritage, or a combination of many backgrounds, if you’re looking to incorporate tradition into your wedding look, brides today have more options than ever before.
While some religions are very strict when it comes to bridal wear, you can still bend the rules and honor tradition. All it takes is a little creativity…and research. For example, when Tina, a recent bride from Norway living in New York, decided to find a headpiece, she went with the traditional herb wreath but wore a modern up do. Michelle, a Chinese bride, decided to add a modern spin to her wedding by wearing red and gold crystal hairpins to match her ceremonial red bridal dress.

Choosing & Caring for Your Veil
TRADITIONAL VEIL DEFINITIONS
BLUSHER - is traditionally short, shoulder length or shorter and is worn over the bride's face to hide her from the groom until after they are wed when it's pushed back behind the head. It is usually combined with another layer sometimes a different length. Despite tradition, blushers of today can be any length as long as they cover the face. Blushers can
be worn in formal or informal weddings.
ELBOW LENGTH - is usually worn with a gown without a train and is a little less formal.
FINGER-TIP LENGTH - is usually for formal and semi-formal weddings.
CHAPEL - is for a more formal wedding. A chapel veil falls to or near the floor.

When my first marriage faded into oblivion, the engagement ring I'd worn with such joy and love was banished to my jewelry case.
Some years later, older and much wiser, I resurrected the ring and had it re-set by a jeweler friend to reflect my newly discovered independence and style. But back in those days, the sight of those diamonds on my right hand was simply a painful reminder of my failure in the marriage stakes.
Now it seems I was ahead of my time.
The right-hand baling ring is the latest status symbol for women who no longer feel they have anything to prove.
Women are earning more, marrying later and have more disposable income than ever before, leaving them with plenty of room for a little self-indulgence. And it goes without saying that the newest status symbol should encompass the ultimate status symbol, diamonds.
