Unique Ideas For Something Blue

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe. This old English rhyme is said to bring good luck to a bride and has become a staple wedding tradition. While many brides still follow this tradition, more and more are looking for fun and unusual ways to incorporate these pieces into their wedding. Whether they be on the bride herself or featured throughout your wedding, here is a list of unique ways to incorporate something blue into your wedding.

Sash…

Adding a sash to your wedding dress can immediately ticks the something blue box. A silk or satin sash can be a statement piece on a simple, yet elegant dress or tie together any blue tones in the beading and embroidery on your dress. A sash is also a great way to highlight your waist. If you love the look of a sash but think it would get in the way, consider wearing it during the ceremony and wedding photos, and then removing it when you hit the dance floor.

 

Nails…

For the perfect subtle splash of blue, look no further than your manicure. While bridal nails are most commonly pink or nude, a soft blue nail will add something unique while not distracting from the overall bridal look. If you like this idea, but prefer to keep your fingernails neutral, a blue bridal pedicure can be a fun and easy way to incorporate colour into your look without it being noticeable.

Dress…

Looking for a statement wedding piece? How about a blue wedding gown! Mandy Moore proved in 2018 that coloured wedding dresses can be just as elegant and romantic as traditional white gowns. A dusty blue or silvery hue will be stylish and stunning, without a doubt maintaining the bridal look. If an allover blue dress is a bit too bold for you, blue toned embroidery or beading is a softer way to incorporate colour into your dress.

Cake…

If the bride doesn’t want to wear blue, a coloured cake is a great accent piece that incorporates this tradition. Like with colourful wedding dress, a cake can be monochrome or offer splashes of blue in the detailing. Soft blue tones can be contrasted with bright, white flowers for an added wow factor.

Car…

Check off your something old and something blue with one item by arriving at, or leaving your wedding in a vintage blue car. If your partner is a car fanatic, this is an excellent way to get him involved in this wedding tradition. We can’t think of a better way to start your lives together than driving off into the sunset in a beautiful, classic car. Click here for some Modern Wedding approved car & transport suppliers.
