1. The Stationery
Various shades of blue coexisting on your invites is a soft, romantic touch.
2. The Bridesmaids
Make your ladies feel extra honored to stand by your side by making them your Something Blue. Take a cue from this bride who had every bridesmaid wear a completely different style dress.
3. The Groomsmen
The guys will look dapper in a navy blue ensemble. Add some matching shades and they’re ready for group portraits.
4. The Place Settings
Dainty blue floral designs in place cards are a subtle way to incorporate blue. A chinoiserie pattern like this couple chose is so elegant.
5. The Getaway Car
Rent an old-school Cadillac or a vintage Rolls Royce in blue to create a really fun backdrop for photos.
6. The Ring Box
One of the smallest and simplest Something Blue ideas is a ring box in any shade of blue. Have your photographer incorporate it into your flat lay photos whether it provides a pop of color or perfectly matches your stationery.
7. The Cake
Make your cake memorable by chatting with your baker about fun blue options for icing or flower accents.
8. The Florals
Put the color blue center stage on your big day by including it in all your florals, from centerpieces and the sweetheart table to bouquets and boutonnieres.
9. The Seating Chart
A soft blue seating chart, especially for a Shore wedding, sets the tone for a lovely evening ahead.
10. Your Attire or Accessories
From high heel wedges that’ll be hidden under your dress for most of the day to a stand-out custom tux, there are many ways to use blue in your wedding day wardrobe.
11. The Details
Consider small touches like a stunning ring dish with hints of blue, a pair of blue earrings or blue cufflinks.
12. Special Details in the Gown
With blue thread, have your seamstress stitch something memorable on the inside of your gown, like your wedding date and initials.
13. A Custom Handkerchief
You may want to have a handkerchief handy for those happy tears. Making this momento your Something Blue is just a bonus.
14. Your Perfume or Cologne
Your wedding day fragrance is extra special when it comes in a blue bottle.
15. The Guest Book
Whatever you choose for your guest book—make it blue! This couple had a custom cornhole board set that guests signed. And the blue shade fit perfectly with their Shore wedding.
