4. Getting Ready Bridal Party Sets

What better way to bring you luck than with matching blue sets or robes with your closest friends in your bridal party. Plus it’s also something practical that can be worn again.

5. Jewelry

When it comes to adding blue jewelry to your “something blue” the options are truly endless. If you want something that stands out, you can choose a blue brooch or a statement necklace or earrings. There are also more subtle options as well- a bracelet or a dainty necklace and earrings. A major plus is if the item is a family heirloom or something you already own, as it also works for “something borrowed” or “something old.”

6. Flowers or Bouquet

An easy way to incorporate “something blue” into your wedding is with the floral arrangements. Blue flowers are gorgeous and are a great addition to any bouquet. If you don’t want blue flowers in your bouquet, you can add a blue ribbon instead.

 

7. The Groom

Who says the bride needs to wear the blue? There’s no rule saying the groom can’t be the one wearing it. Navy blue suits are very dapper. And if you don’t want to go for a full navy/blue suit, opt for a blue bow tie, pocket square or bouttonniére.

 

8. Handkerchief

Tears are inevitable and a gorgeous handkerchief with some blue in it, is a great way to keep the tears at bay. Not only is it practical but also a way to add in something blue.

 

9. Clutch

A clutch is pertinent for any bride to store all of the essentials-lipstick, phone, tissues, etc. Make your clutch pop by picking one in a shade of blue.

 

10. Vintage Blue Car

Use a vintage blue car to arrive at the ceremony or as a getaway car to leave the wedding. Adorn the car with pretty flowers and greenery. Plus it will work for something old and something blue.

 

11. Furry Friends

Many couples are including their furry friends during their big day. Dress your furry friends up in cute blue leashes and a collar, a blue floral collar or even a blue suit/dress.

12. Dress Hanger

Invest in a prettier-than-normal hanger to hang your wedding dress on your big day. And just think of the photos you will get with your dress hanging. Add some blue details to the hanger with your name and date.

 

13. Blue Stitching Inside Your Dress

Keep your something blue sentimental by embroidering your wedding date on the inside of your dress in blue. Or take a piece of blue fabric from something special and create a patch inside. For example, a piece of a shirt of a loved one who is no longer with us.

 

14. Blue Ring Box

You can easily add blue to your big day by keeping your engagement and wedding rings in a beautiful blue box for safekeeping. Even bigger props if you can find a vintage blue ring box.

15. Signs
