You’ve heard the saying: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. But when it comes to that last one, your something blue—the options are endless! From subtle and sentimental to bold and fun, there are so many ways to make this tradition uniquely yours. Here are some of our favorite ideas to inspire you:
1. Blue Shoes
Your wedding gown is most likely a neutral shade—ivory, champagne, or white. Adding a pop of blue with your shoes is such a fun and unexpected way to bring the tradition into your look. Plus, they’ll look amazing peeking out in photos!
2. Embroidered Details
We love when brides have their wedding date embroidered inside their gown in blue thread. It’s usually tucked into the hemline so you can lift your dress for a sweet photo that shows off both your shoes and your something blue. Talk about a keepsake you’ll treasure forever!
3. A Heartfelt Tribute
Some brides sew a blue heart inside their gown to honor the memory of a loved one who couldn’t be there on the big day. It’s a beautiful, private way to carry them with you as you walk down the aisle.
4. Accessories with a Pop of Blue
Not into bold shoes? That’s ok! Accessories are the perfect way to incorporate your something blue. Consider:
- A dainty blue gemstone necklace or earrings
- A garter with a blue ribbon detail
- A blue hairpiece or pin woven into your bridal hairstyle
5. Bridesmaid Dresses
If blue is part of your wedding palette, your bridesmaids can literally be your something blue. Picture your closest girls surrounding you in stunning shades of dusty blue, navy, or slate—classic, elegant, and photo-ready.
6. Florals & Decor
Think beyond fashion! Add a touch of blue to your bouquet with delicate blooms like hydrangeas, delphinium, or thistle. Or incorporate blue accents into your reception details—napkins, table settings, or even a blue signature cocktail. 🍸
