The tradition of wearing something blue has been around for a long time, symbolising love, purity and fidelity. Whether you love traditions or just like the idea of adding a little personal detail, your something blue can be as bold or as subtle as you like.
Wear a Blue Garter or Have a Tiny Blue Heart Sewn into Your Dress
A classic option that keeps your blue tucked away but still meaningful. You can go for a soft dusty blue garter or ask your seamstress to stitch a small blue heart into the inside of your gown. Some brides use fabric from a loved one’s shirt or a special old item to make it even more personal.
Add a Blue Ribbon to Your Bouquet or Hairpiece
A soft blue ribbon tied around your bouquet handle is an easy and elegant touch. It flows beautifully in photos and works with almost any flower style. You could also thread a bit of blue into your hairpiece or clip for a gentle hint of colour without changing your overall look.
Pick Blue Shoes for a Bold Pop of Colour
If you are looking for a bit more fun, blue wedding shoes are a brilliant way to do it. Whether you go for deep navy, soft powder blue or something bright and playful, they will peek out under your dress as a little surprise. And the best part is you will probably wear them again.
Paint Your Nails in a Blue Shade
Your nails are the perfect spot for a touch of colour. You could go for a barely there pale blue or make a bit more of a statement with a bold or shimmering shade. It is an easy, low fuss option that still feels special and ties in beautifully with the tradition.
Choose Blue Jewellery Like a Sapphire or Aquamarine Piece
Jewellery is another gorgeous way to bring in a little blue. Think sapphire earrings, a delicate aquamarine necklace or even a bracelet with a tiny blue stone. Whether it is something new or a family heirloom, it is a timeless and elegant way to carry a bit of blue with you.
There is no right or wrong way to do your something blue. It can be tucked away for only you to know about or proudly on display as part of your full look. The beauty is in making it personal, something that feels like you.
