Jewelry
Ever since Gabrielle can remember, her nan wore a blue ring on her pinky finger. This ring was given to Gabrielle’s nan by her grandfather when they first started dating. Unfortunately, Gabrielle’s nan could not attend her wedding due to COVID. But Gabrielle made sure she was still present in some way by wearing her nan’s ring on her pinky finger all night.
Flowers
Alyssa added a pop of color to her bridal bouquet by asking her florist to incorporate some blue flowers for a fun twist.
Perfume
