Accessories - buying a set, or assembling piece by piece?

Have you purchased a matching set of wedding accessories? Or are you building your accessories piece by piece? Where did you get your jewelry and accessories?

    I built mine piece by piece. My sister was giving me a pair of sapphire earrings as my something blue. In my culture, we do the tea ceremony before walking down the aisle. So during this time when i serve my elders tea, my sister presented me with my earrings to wear. I already knew this beforehand so I only picked up a bracelet to wear alongside my rings. Kept it pretty simple honestly since I had a hairpiece I ordered from Etsy.

    I'm putting it together piece by piece. I'm not big into "wedding bling", so I'm keeping things simple.

    I will be buying it piece by piece, as I haven't seen a set that I liked so far. I will be buying most of my stuff via Etsy.

    I had to find my earrings separately. The pendant was my great great grandmother’s, who passed it to my grandmother who passed it down to me. We looked for months for earrings that would match or at least complement it. We found these earrings at a farmers market and they are almost a perfect match!

    Good tip! I haven't thought of that and I was thinking of also wearing a bracelet.

    I am doing it piece by piece. My something old is going to be a necklace from my Grandma so I went out and bought matching earrings. My something borrowed might be an anklet from my mom but she is trying to find it lol

    I'm assembling piece by piece. I started with the tiara, the most important to me. It had to be vaguely floral and I didn't want any pearls:

    Then I found earrings to match:

    And the only other thing is a bracelet, I think I found a cute one at Swarovski!

    I bought a necklace and earring set not too long ago and waiting for the order to ship! I have my second holes on each ear so I'm going to go out and get nice studs to match!

    I might get a matching bracelet for the necklace/earrings but not too decided on it yet.

    I'll be piecing something together. I bought a tiara from a vendor at a wedding show, I'll be borrowing my mom's pearl necklace, and I'll either use earings I already have or borrow my mom's pearl earrings (though they are not a set with the necklace they look good together).

    Pieces. Bought my shoes, wrap, hair accessory and earrings from different places, and my necklace was my grandmother's.

    Probably pieces put together seeing as how I will either wear a bracelet that I already have as my something old and then the rest is TBD but I would like to stick to things that are silver (my engagement ring is white gold but same thing Smiley tongue)

    It will be a couple pieces put together.

    I don't want to wear a bracelet in case it catches on my dress (all lace). My necklace is from my sister, and earrings from my Grandma! They will all " match" but not be from a matching set
