I know that an apron dance is done, where usually a grandmother or someone holds an apron and people pay to dance with the bride and groom, usually to a polka song. I know there is a part where either the bride or groom wear a necklace of flowers or dolls to symbolize fertility or something like that...also i believe the groom wears a brightly colored hat for some reason...i went to a polish wedding years ago and do remember somethings about it....

You should be able to find many traditions with a google search. I have never heard of the baby necklace one.
Carrying rosemary or wearing rosemary in hair.
Giving away myrtle plants to bridemaids as gifts.
The unbraiding and braiding of hair ceremony.
The salt and bread ceremony.
and much much more that I can't remember specifically.
People don't do the money dance very often any more-- people in some circles find it rude or tacky-- I think that's because some couples have started to really pressure people with it, and some tacky wedding DJs are on the mic encouraging people to give 20 and 50 dollar bills! Disgusting, eh? (It's not supposed to be a fundraising thing, it's supposed to be a tiny bit of well-wishing pocket money.)
But, sadly, greedy USA couples have ruined that tradition by giving it a bad name.
