Incorporating something blue into your wedding is a timeless tradition and while many brides opt for classic choices like blue garters or shoes, there are so many creative ways to add this meaningful touch to your day. If you’re looking for something a little different—whether bold or subtle—these unique ideas will help you find the perfect way to include something blue in your wedding.
Embroidered Veil or Dress Lining
A personal and discreet way to incorporate your something blue on your day is to have your wedding date or new initials embroidered in blue on the inside of your veil or dress lining. It’s a beautiful, private nod to the tradition and adds an intimate layer of sentimentality to your bridal attire.
Blue Bridal Jewellery
Incorporating blue into your wedding jewellery is a classic choice with many possibilities. Opt for sapphires in your earrings, a necklace, or a bracelet. For a bolder option, consider blue stones in your engagement ring or wedding band. Whether it’s subtle or eye-catching, blue jewellery is a timeless way to carry on the tradition.
For brides looking to add a subtle yet stylish touch of blue, consider a hairpin or comb with blue accents. Whether it’s a delicate sapphire or a vintage-inspired piece with blue detailing, incorporating blue into your hairstyle can add a beautiful and refined elegance to your overall look.
Blue Lingerie
For something fun yet discreet, consider blue bridal lingerie. It’s a personal touch that stays hidden throughout the day but adds a bit of playfulness to your ensemble. You can choose anything from a pale blue garter to a more vibrant set— whatever best suits your wedding look.
Blue Handkerchief
A blue handkerchief tucked into the groom’s pocket or carried by the bride can be a sentimental and practical way to honour the tradition. You can even embroider the handkerchief with a personal message or your initials to make it an heirloom you can keep long after the wedding day.
Blue Shoes
If you’re a bride who loves making a statement, blue wedding shoes can be a bold and stylish option. From elegant sapphire heels to soft baby blue flats, your shoes can offer a pop of colour while still complementing your bridal look. It’s a fun and fashionable way to walk down the aisle with “something blue.”
Blue Ribbon Around Your Bouquet
For a delicate touch, consider tying a blue ribbon around your bridal bouquet. This can be as subtle as a thin strand of baby blue or as bold as a rich, navy satin. Not only does it incorporate the tradition, but it also adds a beautiful contrast against your white flowers.
Blue Embroidery for the Groom
Let your groom join in on the tradition! Have his wedding day shirt embroidered with a small blue detail, such as your initials or the wedding date. It’s a subtle way to add a personalised “something blue” for him, making the tradition feel special for both of you.
Whether you choose something subtle or bold, incorporating something blue into your wedding day allows you to honour tradition while adding a personal touch. From embroidery and jewellery to shoes and ribbon, there are countless ways to make this timeless custom uniquely your own.
