Something Blue

All brides know the saying, "Something old, Something new, something borrowed, something blue". As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns. Today I am going to do an inspirational post on how to add a touch of BLUE to your special day. There are so many unique and fun ways to add a splash of blue...

Don a blue right-finger ring a la Kate Middleton. 

Showing off a sky-hued shoe is so flirty and trendy right now. Brides are rocking bright blue stilettos underneath their elegant bright white gowns. They look adorable paired with a tea-length dress but also a fun surprise when they are hidden underneath your gown!

Getting your wedding date embroidered on the inside hem of your dress is a great way to personalize your dress. I have also heard of brides sewing a blue heart inside of their dress. 

Daring brides may choose to opt out of the traditional white gown and wear a regal blue dress.

If you're a more traditional bride, than how about throwing on a bright blue hued dress for the reception? If your budget allows, this is a really fun way to switch up your look throughout the night! Monique Lhuillier's Fall 2012 line featured many tones of blues to brighten up any wedding.

Don't think you can rock a blue dress? How about having your dress lined with blue crinoline?

A floral sash is the perfect place to add a pop of color and add a waistline. These designs were found on Etsy and are all very affordable, yet they make a huge impact.
