My Necklace/"Something Borrowed"
My mom had this AMAZING find a couple years back…she was at Cub (a grocery store) when her cart got stuck on something. She went to go see what it was and found this necklace. Tried as she might to return it to the owner who lost, no one claimed it.
Intrigued by the piece, my mom took it to a local jeweler to have it inspected. They verified that it is indeed real and approximated it to be 3-3.5 CTW and be worth about $3-5K! I absolutely love this necklace so it became my something borrowed-which I really intend for it to be my "something kept".

Shoes/"Something Blue"
I loved Carrie Bradshaw/Sarah Jessica Parker's blue shoes in SATC and used that as my inspiration. Unfortunately the Manolo Blahnik's (and the knock offs) were more than what I was wanting to spend on shoes I will probably only be able to wear once.
I found my perfect shoe at David's Bridal and had them dyed "Horizon Blue" to match my bridesmaid's dresses.

My Grandpa's Key/"Something Old"
For my "something old", I knew that I wanted something of my grandpa's to double as a way to memorialize him in an aspect of our wedding day.
I used a key/pin that he was given when he was President of the Minnesota Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). I pinned it to handle of my bouquet.

Earrings/Bracelet/Garter
My earrings were from "Stella and Dot". I wanted something that would add a little bling but would also be earrings I could wear again without being too dressy. The ones that I found were perfect for that.
My bracelet was from JC Penny's. They were having a clearance sale and I was able to get it at a really good price. It has small diamonds and lab created sapphires.
Jake's favorite pro-team is the MN Vikings (SKOL VIKES!) so I thought that a Vikings Garter would be very fitting. I found it online-but can't remember what store I got it from.
