While the tradition is old, there’s no reason it can’t get a modern update! Get inspired for your own something blue with a few of our favorite ideas today’s brides use for their wedding luck:
Shoes
A fun, unexpected way to add a little blue, your shoes will just peek through for the perfect pop. This also lets you add some personality into your wedding day look with a unique shoe—you don’t necessarily have to stick to light blue, meaning your shoe choice can be as loud or subtle as you want.

Invitations
Set the tone for your wedding with a calming, classic blue right off the bat! This choice also lets you not worry about finding your something blue for the day of—it’s already taken care of. If you’re not crazy about a fully blue invitation, you could opt for hints of blue in your font for a more subdued look.
Denim Jacket
A fun trend we’re loving, some brides have been opting for one-of-a-kind custom denim jackets to wear over their dress for part of the reception. This gives you a laid-back look that contrasts your dress perfectly—especially great for brides having outdoor or barn weddings.

Order a custom, painted bottle of champagne to pop at the reception! Great for fun-loving couples, this kicks off the party with a bang (literally) and makes a lovely keepsake to remember your wedding by.

Table Settings
Who ever said your something blue had to be wearable? Incorporate it into your table settings through linens, china, glassware, flowers—the possibilities are endless! If you love the color blue, this gives you more than just a hint, and becomes a beautiful, central part of your decor.
