Brides of today are looking for more ideas to make their wedding unique and reflective of their personalities as possible. From fresh decor concepts and themes to customized favors and peculiar flavors, infusing personal style into weddings is now a trend that creates the best experience for the couple and their guests. Though while the wedding scenes keep changing, some things never fade. And one age-old tradition that brides still honor is including their somethings old, new, borrowed, and blue!
There are many ways you can blend in elements in honor of the tradition, especially with your something blue. If you’re looking for ways to update the tradition in your own way, here are a few ideas to help inspire you.

Yes, that’s right! Your something blue doesn’t just have to be an object or item that holds special meaning to you. It isn’t a compulsion. So if you really want to get creative with it, look for waterfront venues. Beach weddings with a view of the cerulean oceans are visually and aesthetically beautiful and offer a natural option that holds up tradition just as well, if not better!
Accessory

Blue is a beautiful color with some of the most mesmerizing shades on the spectrum. Plus, being a primary color, it can match almost any theme or setting. Recent brides have been opting to dress up their feet with stand-out footwear, a great reason to go bold with color. Whether you’re wanting to complement the color of your non-traditional wedding dress or looking to add a pop of color to the classic white number, changing things up with your bridal shoes is an idea we love. Another idea to consider is accessorizing your hair with blue ribbons, headbands, or even jewelry! Think blue gemstones – Kate Middleton style! Hand accessories like your bridal bouquet or a stylish purse are also fun alternatives for striking visuals.
Bridesmaids & Getting Ready Outfits

Colored wedding dresses are surely in, but have you thought about asking your bridal squad to be your something blue? Imagine your best girls standing beside you, looking gorgeous in the color. And, of course, they would love to help you check off your something blue tradition! For a slightly more unique twist, you could also plan to have a matching set of getting-ready outfits in blue! Alternatively, the mother of the bride or groom can also be dressed in blue, so get them involved in your special nod to the wedding custom.
Cake Toppers

Your cake is one more element you can get creative with, but did you think about the cake topper? Decorate your wedding dessert with a unique and personal topper, and have it be your subtle something blue. It’s a way to get playful with your dessert while also adding a touch of sentiment that elevates the sweetness all in all! Cute, isn’t it?
Exit Vehicle

Wedding exits are always exciting and emotional. Finally, driving off as newlyweds (like the rest of your wedding day) is a moment you experience just once. So why not make the most of it? Add to the sentiment of this special moment by driving away in a getaway car that’s a romantic shade of blue.
