Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

I'm getting married in December and have been suffering a terrible time with my gown. That should be the fun part, one would think, but I'm just going to make use of the tradition to wear something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue to spunk things up. Here are my suggestions for keeping a tradition alive.
1. Something old My diamond studs, the first present given by my fiance, could be considered old, but just in case I'll pin an old brooch of my mom's or grandma's onto my bouquet.
2. Something new Figuring that pearls will adorn the neck, it only makes sense to wear pearl earrings. My matron of honor is all about chandelier earrings, so I might try a pair for a festive-formal look. Anthropology has an intricate pearl snowflake pair ($278) that would be perfect for my Christmas-time date. I might should register for those!!??!
3. Something borrowed I am all for borrowing items. Would anyone perchance have those pearls???
4. Something blue The shoes have been purchased and worn to break them in, but they don't totally SPEAK to me, so I'm always on the lookout for a new pair. The "gusto" by Kate Spade ($395) comes in blue canard, meeting the 'something blue' requirement. Made in Italy of haircalf, it has an adjustable strap and 3 3/4" heel. It's really wise to buy a pair of shoes that can function as whenever shoes. These are completely functionable and would look so cute under my dress. Very striking. But if Mommie doesn't like that idea, Spade does offer a gold pump in snake print leather ($340) with a 4" heel, and my blue will come from having to wear a different shoe.
