Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue stands, we all know this rhyme when it comes to this wedding tradition. In time “something” blue has shaped into a meaning of purity, love and fidelity; what better way to show that off than by adding a hint of blue to your wedding day beauty by using it in a trendy fashion.
How to Incorporate the “Something Blue” Wedding Tradition
A unique way of incorporating your “something blue” into your wedding day is using blue nail polish. For the classic bride a soft pastel blue or a blue hue that’s barely there may be best suited. For the bold bride looking to make a statement with their “something blue” manicure you can choose from an array of deep blues; there’s a shade of blue for every look.
Another way for adding this wedding tradition into your wedding day is with a few blue blooms in your bouquet or wrap your flower stems in blue ribbon. Using flowers as your “something blue” puts a major floral twist on a long-time tradition.
Furthermore, the bride doesn’t have to be the one displaying the blue. Her bridesmaids can wear blue dresses which can add a fun twist to the tradition. Each bridesmaid can implement a different shade of blue in their dress creating a cohesive contrast of blue shades.
The groom can also be the one to implement the “something blue” wedding tradition. Maybe it’s with a dark navy suit, a blue bow tie or a hint of blue in his boutonniere. The groomsmen can even join in on displaying the “something blue” for your wedding with blue suits or even just blue ties.
Blue garter, shoes, flowers, nail polish, table settings, earrings, bridesmaid’s dresses? The possibilities are endless when it comes to incorporating “something blue.” Fit the wedding tradition into your day in a unique way that best suits you!
