Something blue
00:30
There
is this Old English rhyme about objects the bride should have on her wedding
day - "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A
Sixpence in your Shoe". While not many brides still obtain and carry all
five objects on her big day, “something blue” is still very common and a
whimsical touch to the wedding attire. The blue originally stood for purity,
love and fidelity, and while we shall not engage in the debate on whether
purity is still a thing in the modern world, the beauty of something blue is
barely questionable.
1. Wear it as part of your bridal jewelry. Here are a few gorgeous Etsy finds:
 |
| Cornflower tear drop shaped dangle earrings. |
 |
| Getting
married on a beach and looking for a unique bohemian accessory? Crocheted linen necklace may be just the thing. |
 |
| Embellish your hairstyle with a blue opal hair vine. |
2. Cover up in blue. If it gets chilly in the evening, if your
dress is not modest enough for the church, for any reason at all, if you need
to cover up your shoulders, why not do it in something blue?
 |
| Cover up in dusty denim blue shawl. |
 |
| On
a warm summer day use extra modesty provided by lightweight gauze scarf in pale aquamarine. |
 |
| To
get some genuine “oh wow’s”, rock the knit lace pattern ombre shawl. |
3. Did
you know that one of the colors for wedding dresses in 2018 is going to be
blue? So if you are bold enough for a blue wedding dress, next year is your
time to shine and be trendy, all at the same time.
 |
| Choose a pastel blue wedding dress with white lace details for your big day. |
 |
| Or just an ombre dusty blue dip dyed skirt. |
 |
| If you are not bold enough for any of the above, can't go wrong with this incredibly subtle pale blue skirt. |
4. At this point you may be thinking: I am not wearing any blue for my wedding day! Fair point, but what about your groom, your bridesmaids, or your ring bearer boy?
 |
| Check out this blue bridesmaids dress for your beach wedding. |
 |
| What about a cute little ring bearer outfit with pastel blue details? |
 |
| Small details: shades of blue bowties
for the groomsmen or the groom himself. |
5. If neither of the above is what you see as something blue at your wedding, and yet you are reading this article, so it must be an option to explore, here’s a suggestion that will work for absolutely anyone. Incorporate the something blue into the décor.
 |
| Greet
the guests at their tables with stone washed linen cloth napkins. |
 |
| Dine out of the vintage plates with blue watercolor splashes. |
 |
| Thank
the guests for attending and have them bring home wedding favors in blue pouches. |
