Creative Ideas for Incorporating "Something Blue" into Your Wedding Day

The tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” is a beloved part of wedding folklore, with each element symbolising luck, happiness, and continuity. Among these, "something blue" is particularly meaningful, representing fidelity, loyalty, and a future filled with love. If you're looking for creative ways to weave this tradition into your wedding day, here are some inspiring ideas to incorporate "something blue" in a way that's stylish and personal.

 

1. Elegant Blue Accessories

Accessorising with blue can be a subtle yet elegant way to incorporate this tradition. Consider choosing accessories that add a touch of blue to your bridal ensemble:

• Blue Shoes: Opt for a pair of stunning blue heels or flats. They can be a playful secret under your dress and add a pop of colour that’s both fashionable and fun.
• Blue Jewellery: Incorporate blue gemstones or sapphires into your jewellery. A blue sapphire necklace, earrings, or bracelet can add a touch of sophistication and elegance.
• Blue Hairpieces: Add a blue hairpin, comb, or headband to your bridal hairstyle for a subtle hint of colour that complements your look.

 

2. Blue Details in Your Bouquet

Your bridal bouquet is a beautiful place to incorporate "something blue." Here are a few ways to do it:

• Blue Flowers: Choose flowers that are naturally blue, such as hydrangeas, delphiniums, or blue orchids, to add a touch of blue to your bouquet.
• Blue Ribbons: Wrap your bouquet stems with a blue ribbon. This adds a delicate touch of colour and ties in beautifully with other blue elements in your wedding.

 

3. Blue Attire Elements

Incorporating blue into your wedding attire can be both stylish and meaningful:

• Blue Garter: A classic way to add "something blue" is with a blue garter. It’s a personal detail that can be worn discretely but still holds sentimental value.
• Blue Lingerie: Choose blue lingerie to wear under your wedding dress. This can be a secret indulgence that adds a special touch of colour.

 

4. Personalised Blue Details

Adding blue accents to personalised items can be a meaningful way to incorporate this tradition:

• Blue Monogram: Have your wedding monogram or initials embroidered in blue on your wedding dress, veil, or even your wedding invitations.
• Blue Signature Cocktail: Create a signature cocktail for your reception that features a blue hue. It’s a fun and unique way to incorporate colour into your celebration.

 

5. Blue Wedding Cake

Your wedding cake can be a beautiful canvas for adding blue details:

• Blue Cake Decorations: Incorporate blue flowers, ribbons, or edible blue accents into the design of your cake.
• Blue Frosting or Layers: Consider having a blue layer or blue frosting as part of your cake’s design. This adds a touch of colour that will be both eye-catching and delicious.

 

6. Blue Decor and Details

Infuse your wedding decor with blue elements to subtly incorporate the tradition throughout your celebration:

• Blue Table Settings: Use blue napkins, table runners, or placemats to add colour to your reception tables.
• Blue Centrepieces: Create centrepieces with blue flowers or candles to add a cohesive and elegant touch of blue to your wedding decor.
• Blue Linens: Incorporate blue into your wedding linens, such as tablecloths or chair sashes, for a sophisticated and cohesive look.

Give your guests a memorable keepsake that also incorporates "something blue":

• Blue Packaging: Use blue ribbons or boxes for wedding favours to add a touch of blue.
• Blue-Themed Favors: Consider blue-themed favours, such as blue macarons, custom blue candles, or blue-coloured sweets.
