Ask any bride about the best thing they bought for their wedding, and invariably, the answer will be the same: a wedding planner. A further investigation may find more color in the next tier of answers—a reception dress they’d pined over in a bridal bookmarks folder for ages; a signature shade of lipstick that made them feel normal on an otherwise highly extraordinary day; a sentimental heirloom-in-the-making they plan to pass down to their children. The shopping list for anyone getting married is long and expensive, but when it comes down to it, a handful of pieces will be the ones that stand out. While the specifics are personal and vary by couple, we’re nosy. So, we asked 15 Vogue brides to share a bit about their most memorable wedding purchases. (If you too are getting married and looking for a bit of inspiration for your own big day, their answers have plenty to offer.)

From satin bridal shoes to one-of-a-kind hair accessories to many, many sparkly jewelry pieces, these are the very best things Vogue brides bought for their weddings.
The Statement Earrings
“I wore these CompletedWorks earrings during our wedding ceremony. They were a gift from my husband a couple years prior and he’d always jokingly ask me when I’d be wearing them—it never felt like the right occasion. He didn’t know I was going to wear them until he saw me walk down the aisle and actually started grinning when he noticed! It was so cute and a nice nod to something that was already part of our relationship.
Then, I wore these sparkly Jennifer Behr earrings with my traditional sari during our wedding dinner. It was difficult to find jewelry that matched the ornate embroidery of my Indian sari and also felt modern and seamless. I felt like these did both; the size and shape fit my outfit seamlessly.” —Poppy Thekdi
