Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue...
Something blue....something blue....something blue....
Coming up short on ideas for that special "something blue"? Often this traditional phrase is one of the smaller details that brides can so easily forget. Something old, new, and borrowed tend to be fairly easy to gather but depending on your wedding colors or themes finding something blue might be rather difficult. Here are some of my favorite "something blue" ideas that can be as obvious or discreet as you'd like....
This is by far my favorite option...have your wedding date or new monogram stitched in blue thread into the inside of your wedding dress.
Of course, if you're colors are a fabulous shade of blue you could always add a pop of color to your day-of ensemble by sporting a beautiful pair of blue pumps as you walk down the all important aisle.
This is another one of my favorites, but I also tend to be quite the sentimental type. The bride would forfeit her white pumps for some time but each of the bridesmaids, parents, etc. would write their blessings for the bride on her big day.
Use your bouquet. You can wrap your bouquet in a piece of blue silk or ribbon and attach a super cute accessory or to avoid using too much blue, attach a charm that contains a blue stone.
A more discreet way to include the "something blue" would simply be to wear an adorable blue garter under the dress. Love the big, blue bow!
And of course, you can't let your wedding day lingerie go under utilized! Use your backside as a way to advertise your new name and still incorporate that blue you've been looking for!
Happy Planning,
Kristen
