Step1

Go minimalistic. Sometimes the best way to add wow to your look is to concentrate on one or two bigger items rather than going the whole nine yards. Maybe you should have a very nice necklace and forgo a bracelet.

Step2

Get something borrowed. The old adage says "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Borrow your mother's earrings or your sister's tiara. This will ensure that you can look gorgeous, save money and incorporate tradition in to your ceremony.

Step3

Be flexible. If you are more open to what you will wear, chances are that you will be able to find something at a lower price. Even if it isn't exactly what you were looking for!

Step4

Watch for low prices. If you are going to have to shell out cash for accessories make sure you spend some time before you spend cash. You can watch for sales and get some low prices. Save cash and get just what you want.

Step5

Knock it off. If you want to wear a name-brand item on your wedding, remember that name-brand prices can break the bank. If you take a picture of your name-brand item with you to some not-so-name-brand store, you can find a look a like for a fraction of the price.

Step6

To find a good picture, go online. Any search engine can show you pictures of fancy, expensive jewelry.

Tips & Warnings

Make sure that you concentrate on jewelry and accessories that accentuate your dress. Put your money into a necklace if you have a dress with a dramatic neckline.
Remember that the jewelry is just for one day. Fight the urge to overspend; as long as it looks good in the picture, it should suffice. Feel free to be cheap.
If you borrow a piece of jewelry from mom it might be good to get it cleaned before wearing it on your big day.
If borrowing something for the wedding day, make sure to get it a few days before the date. Nothing worse than having your grandmother forget your diamond necklace and leaving your neck naked in pictures.
