‘Something Blue’ Ideas You May Not Have Thought About

Modern Wedding Posted: May 27, 2019

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe.” This old English rhyme has been adopted by brides all over the world as a sacred wedding tradition that brings good luck on the big day. If you feel like this tradition is getting a bit tried, change it up with these ‘something blue’ ideas that you might not have thought about.

Via Wedding Of My Dreams

Bridesmaids In Blue…

It may not be one of the most chosen tones for a bridal party, but it sure is magical! Blue is a gorgeous colour choice for bridesmaid’s dresses all year round. Whether you choose an evening navy tone, cobalt blue or a pastel shade, these styles can easily be adapted to any wedding day style.

Perfect Pooches…

Not only is incorporating pets into your wedding celebration a sure-fire way to bring a smile to all your guests faces, it’s also the perfect way to include your ‘something blue’. Don your doggy with a little blue bowtie so that they’re looking dapper and following tradition at the same time.

Blue Blooms…

Including blue hues in your bridal bouquet is an effortless way of incorporating the tradition into your big day. Make blue hydrangeas or orchids the hero of your bouquet or take a more subtle approach and include a few tweedia blooms.

Something Sexy…

Keep your “something blue” intimate by wearing blue toned lingerie. This part of the tradition will be for your partner’s eyes only so choose something that makes you feel sexy. Whether it’s cool toned underwear or a striking blue body suit, this is an alluring spin on a classic tradition.

Suit And Tie…

Let your groom help out with a touch of blue in his look. Whether it is a tie, cufflinks, vest or the whole suit, each will add a dapper and delightful detail to the look. Remember, blue can be in any shade, including a classic navy. Always a stunning colour for the whole bridal party!

A Regal Ring…

Having an addition of blue in your bridal look doesn’t have to be restricted to just one day. A sapphire ring adds a subtle touch of blue that you can carry with you everyday. Not to mention, this sparkling idea gives us some serious royal vibes and it absolutely stunning!

Via Bashert Jewellery

That Bling…

Your bridal bling doesn’t stop at the rings. Adding bold statement earrings or a fun and flirty bracelet will let you add in some bling and blue! It’s also easy to add this into any look as it will add a subtle amount of detail.
