While perusing Etsy for my own shopping pleasure last night, I came across some lovely vintage brooches that would be the perfect accessory for a wedding dress, veil, or hairpiece.

Available from Leena Lenna Design Studio on Esty

These really caught my eye because they reminded me of the brooch that I wore on my own dress.  My Paloma Blanca came with a ribbon (which got removed) and a brooch with rhinestones and mother of pearl that I decided to keep.  It added a tiny bit of vintage bling to my dress and that really excited me.

My little touch of 1920s vintage glam.

As you can tell, I really love a good “brooch”, but isn’t it really “broach”?  I’ve always pronounced it as “b-roach”, not “b-r-eeww-ch”.  I must have been in the dark all these years because when I went back to Etsy to revisit my find, broach turned up nil in the search results!  Don’t  you hate finding out you’ve been spelling something wrong for 20+ years?

Regardless of the spelling, you can’t deny the wedding accessory possibilities.  A few more ideas…

Very cute hair comb that has an art deco feel.
