My bridal bouquet is officially complete! Remember way back when I hinted to the handle decoration and even gave a sneak peek to my “something blue”? Well, I’ve finally received my special adornments from my eBay shopping excursion.

I planned to do two gold lockets to display photos of family members that will not be able to join Mr. Lab and me on our special day (although I know they’ll be there in spirit).

One locket would hold a photo of my grandmother who passed away a couple years ago and a photo of my dad who passed away when I was 14. The other locket would hold a photo of Mr. Lab’s late father and his mother’s twin sister who passed shortly after FSIL’s wedding. But when the seller backed out of my purchase because he had misplaced the items since the close of the auction, I decided to go another route.

I was just doing a routine “locket brooch” search when I came across the Coro locket. These gorgeous lockets hold not 2, but 4 photos at once! And many of them are more fancy looking than regular brooch-style lockets. Isn’t it just fabulous?

Then there’s my something blue (and something sparkly) on the front of the bouquet:

With these small additions, I am officially done with the bridal accessories! I’ll let you know soon what my other accessories are (jewelry, clutch, and shoes, oh my!)!

Will your bouquet have any special or sentimental adornments?
