Your Sussex Wedding - February/March 2026 (Issue 119)

SOMETHING BORROWED Borrowing something from a loved one to wear on your wedding day is arguably the most special part of the adage. Worn close to your heart, it ensures you have that person with you as you walk down the aisle. So, what can you be looking to borrow? We have some ideas. 1EARRINGS Often timeless, a lot of female family members will likely have a pair special to them. Pearl studs or drops have special significance in the context of a wedding and will symbolise family continuity. 2PENDANT, LOCKET OR BROOCH Wear as a necklace or as a charm attached to your bouquet for a sentimental and discreet touch. 3TIARA OR HAIRPIECE Ask your family members what they wore in their hair on their wedding day. A sparkly tiara makes for a glamorous and traditional addition. 4VEIL If there’s an heirloom veil from a happily married member of your family tree, see if you can borrow it to add a vintage and deeply personal touch. 5SAPPHIRE JEWELLERY This ensures you have both the something borrowed and something blue covered.
