Many of you may be thinking, what do the Emmys have to do with my wedding? The red carpet is full of gorgeous women in expensive, elegant gowns with full hair, makeup and accessories. So while you may not be able to completely knockoff these looks, you can print a hair style or makeup look to be the inspiration for your big day.

Plus, today plenty of celebrities are having white red carpet moments or taking wedding gowns and having them made in another color. If nothing else, you can use these amazing looks as your daily dose of inspiration whether you copy them or not.

If only I could convince Neil Lane to lend me a few million in diamonds for my big day. I’d promise to give them back.

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.

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.
