Soo...I found this bracelet of my grandma's that I had looked for before after the crystal cuffs were posted. Couldn't find it before, went through a box, and bam! Found it. Now the question is, which one do I use? The one I bought, or the one I found?


The one I bought

I would say the one you found that belonged to your Grandma...

Because you'll probably get more opportunities to wear the new one, but how often would you wear your Grandma's? Plus it might be nice to have something sentimental to wear on your big day.

Take both of them to your florist and see what one will work. The one I purchased they have the cut and pin it to the flowers it is to big.

I vote your grandmother's but I agree with LJ and take both with you just in case. You might not want to have to cut your grandmother's braclet.

Was it to go around the flowers or around your wrist? I wouldn't want them to damage your Grandma's bracelet either I thought it was going to be on your wrist!

The bracelet I purchased is 6 inches and my flowers will be 4 inches so we are going to have to take 4 inches out.

Is there any way you can make grandma's into something like... a choker or an anklet? I get the feeling (and I could be wrong) that you feel obligated to wear it because it's grandma's and it's actually attractive, but that you like your own bracelet just as much. So maybe you can have it both ways.

No, I don't feel obligated to wear this, it's the beaded necklace I didn't want to wear. This is right up my alley...it sparkles, lol. The other bracelet is one I just bought, I have no real attatchment to it. It pokes me too when I just wore it around the house.
At the moment, I'm pretty sure my bouquet will be all Calla Lillies. I like the look, it's clean, simple, and less decision making I have to do. hehe

Looks like you've answered your own question girly. Grandma's bracelet it is!
