Ahhh that blue gown is all kinds of gorgeousness! I did blue shoes (the same Badgely Mischka's in the crinoline shot, but in a medium blue).
I like writing on the back of the wedding shoes in blue !! Wearing jewellry with blue is also a good way to follow this tradition of wearing blue !!!!
@jessica those shoes in blue are stunning! And I agree love the blue gown. @rose I love the shoe idea too just might have to borrow it.
I love the writing on the dress! It's so awesome and out of the box.
the ring is beautiful, but would be more with a purple stone :) :X
Such an amazing blog post! I love the use of blue ... Super like the blue signatures at the bottom of the shoes in the last picture. I hope I can incorporate some of these ideas this season.
@candice me too that last idea is a really good one. Thx for checking out the blog
I love the blue nails, I hadn't thought of that. Great post some really unique ideas for something blue.
I love the embroidery--what a great idea!
i think you have a more few blue tricks up your sleeve sweety. i cant wait to see the next litter of blue pumpkins you have waiting for me to see.
I like the sparkly blue nails... they look so nice :)
Wow, I love these options. My top choices would be the ring, the blue chiffon under the dress, the bridesmaids dresses and the flowers. The picture with the bride and her ladies looks amazing. The blue really opos
Patricia, I also love the ring. But it is hard not to love a blue ring. I ended up doing a blue brooch. Thanks for reading.
I like these ideas, particularly the embroidary! I just wore blue undergarments to have the blue end covered. Although, I did have some blue flowers in my bouquet as well.
Hey Nutmeg, blue undies are perfect- especially if there is no other blue in your color palette. Thanks for reading.
I embroidered our wedding date into the lining of my dress. Thinking about turning the dress into a Christmas tree skirt and adding birth dates and future family wedding dates to it - a sort of family history!
I have what I think may be a unique touch - my dad was FDNY and died in the line of duty. I got someone from his firehouse to get me an FDNY patch to sew under my gown as my blue and this was he can walk me down the aisle.
Hi Elizabeth, I love the Christmas tree skirt idea. Now I wish I still had my dress. And Eileen, such a beautiful and touching gesture to honor your dad. It makes my heart sing. Sorry that it took me so long to reply. I just had a baby and time just gets away from me. xo
I pick out blue dresses from the dress boutique and get my nails done blue but the way you do is unreal!
Idea number 10!! Absolutely amazing!
