Keeping With Tradition: Finding Your Something Blue!

The tradition of having “something blue” isn’t found in wedding day planning as much as it used to be, but, with that being said, it’s a fun tradition to make your own if you chose to! As you plan your 2025/26 wedding, you might be looking for fresh and unique ways to incorporate this meaningful element into your attire or decor. Here are some creative ideas to inspire your "something blue" choice, ensuring it adds a personal touch to your special day.

1. Bridal Accessories

One of the easiest ways to add "something blue" is through your bridal accessories. You can add a subtle (or bold) touch of blue to your shoes, a bow for your hair, or details on your veil. For the groom, delicate embroidery on the inside of the jacket, a pocket tissue, or cuff links can serve as casual ways to present something blue. Alternatively, a more classic statement piece for the bride is jewelry, like a blue necklace or earrings, which can also serve as your something blue while elevating your overall look.

2. FLoral Arrangements

Incorporating blue flowers into your bridal bouquet or floral arrangements is a beautiful way to fulfill the "something blue" tradition. Flowers like blue hydrangeas, delphiniums, or forget-me-nots can add a soft, romantic touch to your bouquet. Additionally, you can use blue accents in centerpieces or even in your bridesmaids’ bouquets, tying in the color throughout your wedding decor for a cohesive look.

3. Personal Keepsakes

Consider incorporating a personal keepsake that features the color blue. This could be a piece of jewelry passed down from a loved one, a handkerchief embroidered with blue thread, or even fun gifts used the day of, like a flask or a notebook for vows. These more intimate items add a unique flair to your ensemble.

4. Reception Decor

Extend the "something blue" theme to your reception decor. This can include blue table linens, napkins, or even a stunning details on your cake. If you’re looking for a more whimsical approach, consider a blue signature drink or dessert that can be incorporated into your celebration. These elements not only fulfill the tradition but also create a beautiful visual that ties into your overall color scheme.

5. Fun with Nail Art

For a modern twist, think about incorporating blue into your nail art. Whether you choose a classic blue polish or a fun nail design featuring blue accents, your manicure can serve as a stylish nod to the tradition. This is a subtle yet personal way to embrace "something blue" without making it a focal point of your wedding attire.

As you prepare for your 2025 wedding, finding the perfect "something blue" can be a fun and creative process. From accessories to decor, there are countless ways to make this tradition your own! By choosing a "something blue" that resonates with you, you’ll not only honor the custom but also add a personal touch to your special day, making it even more memorable.
