There are many ways to incorporate blue into your wedding, and we don’t mean the traditional garter belt. Consider using this hue in your wedding day look in non-traditional ways for a more sophisticated (and some say clever) incorporation of blue. Your wedding something blues can be many things, and here are a few of our favorites.
Did you know? The origin of wearing or carrying “something blue” stems from the idea to deflect the evil eye, and the color blue is a symbol of “fidelity and love’s purity”.
Wedding Something Blues for Fashion
Earrings
Pearl earrings are always a classic for brides. These Sydney Evan stunners add a bit of blue, making them both stylish and timeless. Because they don’t scream “bridal” they can be worn for the wedding day and beyond, and will never go out of style. Available at saks.com.
Headpiece
We love this feminine and romantic bridal hair comb. This touch of blue is intentional but not overly obvious, and works well if you have other subtle touches of blue in your wedding décor, and even if you don’t.
Shoes
A classic way to incorporate your something blue is through your shoes! Like the headpiece, it’s a subtle yet beautiful way to sprinkle in blue tones into your fashion.
Florals
Another way to add blue to your ensemble is through your floral accessory — your bouquet! Anne Barge’s Blue Willow collection was presented with models holding gorgeous bouquets that are so romantic and are a great example of using blue without overdoing it, which is just the kind of subtle something blue you’d see in 2021.
Wedding Band
How gorgeous is this Emilie Shapiro wedding band? With seven blue sapphires, this modern band is subtly stunning and can be paired with other rings for stacking.
Wedding Something Blues for Your Honeymoon
Who says the blue should only be used on the wedding day? Here are some great items to use beyond the wedding day that will give you more joy and remind you that not too long ago, you were once a bride.
Pocketbook
If you’re struggling to incorporate blue into your look, using a purse that’s blue does the trick. This Valentino from saks.com is great for the honeymoon too, no matter your destination.
Caftan
For a tropical honeymoon, this Halston piece can work as a cover-up or sultry dress. As part of the limited edition Halston X Netflix collection, this caftan is available at Neiman Marcus and Saks. For those of you who saw the limited series on Netflix, you’ll know why it’s called Elsa (after Elsa Peretti, of course).
Lingerie
It’s not always easy to find lingerie that is feminine and tasteful, sweet but not too sexy. Check out these camisole shorts set by In Bloom by Jonquil. Available at Bloomingdales, it’s perfect for the preppy bride, the sporty bride, or any bride in between.
Cosmetic Case
Ok, so this isn’t something you wear, but it is blue, it is pretty and it is super useful for your honeymoon and beyond! This cosmetic bag and jewelry pouch are great for any trip, keeping jewelry or cosmetics organized.
