10 ways to add something blue to your wedding day
When it comes to choosing your wedding color palette, blue and white is always a timeless choice. It's fresh, chic and can go in any style direction from classic to coastal, rustic to bohemian. Whether you'd like to fully embrace a breezy blue and white wedding or are simply in need of some ideas for your lucky something blue, we're here with heaps of inspiration today. Fine art photographer, Lost Coast Photography, shares 10 ways to add something blue to your wedding day alongside this dreamy editorial in the Hamptons.
Blue wedding stationery
Choosing your wedding stationery suite is an exciting part of planning your big day and a great way to set the overall style of your event. Are you going modern and minimal or classic with a historical feel? The options are endless. Working with an experienced artistic wedding stationer to devise a stylish suite, including everything from the save the date to on-the-day menus, will really set the aesthetic for your wedding.
Blue wedding dress
Long gone are the days when a wedding dress has to be white. We've seen a huge rise in colored wedding dresses in recent years and blue is a stunning choice as there's a shade to suit every skin tone and hair color. Don't fancy diverting too from tradition? Go for classic white for the ceremony and change into a different blue gown for your evening reception.
Blue wedding welcome basket
Essential? No. Lovely? Absolutely! We adore wedding welcome baskets, particularly for out-of-town guests and destination weddings - they're just a lovely way to say thank you to loved ones for making the time and effort to come celebrate with you. And they don't have to be expensive, local snacks and beverages in a cute basket is all you need.
Blue engagement ring
Chic, timeless and royalty-approved, we just love blue engagement rings and sapphire, aquamarine, topaz and tanzanite are just some of the precious stones you can choose from. Prefer a classic diamond? Go for a pretty velvet box for your touch of blue instead.
Blue hydrangea ceremony arch
Did you know that blue is the rarest flower color? This makes blue flowers all the more special and blousy hydrangeas make the dreamiest wedding decorations to decorate your ceremony, like floral arches and classic urn arrangements. This blue ombre hydrangea arch is something else!
Blue chinoiserie pottery
Blue and white china in iconic patterns like willow and chinoiserie make gorgeous decorations for your reception tables and all around your venue, such as your welcome area, bar and cake table. Raid family collections or scout out vases at flea markets and vintage stores.
Blue wedding cake
Pale and subtle or dark and dramatic, blue wedding cakes are quite unusual, which makes us love them even more.
Blue bridal bouquet
Cornflowers, delphinium. hyacinths, hydrangeas, iris, orchids, veronica... though blue is the rarest flower colour, there are still plenty of beautiful varieties to choose from your bridal bouquet.
Blue wedding tablescape
Your tablescape is the perfect place to run with a blue colour scheme, creating a fresh and relaxed vibe with patterned china, dusky blue linens, candles and menus.
Blue grooms suit
If you don't fancy the formality of a tux, blue is a great color for your groom to wear as it can be dressed up or down and always looks chic, whatever shade you choose. We love the powder blue linen jacket this groom is rocking as it's smart yet relaxed.
