You know the rhyme: "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue," but do you know what it means? Even more important, do you know how you'll incorporate your something blue on the big day?
Wedding lore says that the color blue has been associated with weddings since ancient Rome when it implied fidelity and modesty. For the modern bride, blue is associated with purity of heart (think "true blue") and is often incorporated as a fun pop of color.
Here are some exciting new ways to wear your something blue for an unforgettable look:
Shoes For a playful approach to tradition, add a pair of
blue wedding shoes beneath your bridal gown. Depending on the length of your dress, they could be the life of the ensemble or your little secret.
Sashes Transform your wedding dress from simply chic to splendidly you with a colorful
sash. The options are endless: organza and satin ribbons, beautiful beading and floral embellishments.
Jewelry Why not add a little sparkle to your wedding tradition with
blue jewelry? Whether you choose earrings, a necklace, or a bracelet, your something blue will be the perfect dazzling complement to your bridal gown.
Garters If you're looking for a more subtle way to incorporate the colorful hue, check out
blue garters. Wear one under your gown or go for a set that includes a toss garter for your reception.
Bouquet Tuck some forget-me-nots into your wedding bouquet for a sweet sentimental hint of blue. Or wrap your flowers in a blue ribbon or blue
personalized bouquet wrap - there are lots of pretty options, from blue monograms to rhinestones!
