Blue and white wedding ceremony décor
Blue is the rarest flower color but there are still plenty of beautiful options to decorate your wedding. Hydrangea, delphinium, clematis, agapanthus, cornflower, nigella and eryngium (thistle) are just some of the varieties we love to see used in floral arches and aisle decorations. Avoid artificially dyed blue flowers, such as roses, as they rarely look natural.
Blue bridesmaids dresses
Universally flattering, blue is a great choice for your bridesmaids dresses as there is a shade to suit everyone. From pale icy blue to darkest midnight, we've curated a collection of our favourite ready-to-wear blue bridesmaids dresses here. Our favourite look has to be the mis-matched floral trend, where each bridesmaid gets to choose her own dress in the same blue color palette. So chic!
Blue and white wedding reception ideas
Your wedding reception is a great opportunity to get creative with your color palette. From toile de jouy linens and chinoiserie ceramics, to bold deckchair stripes and breezy coastal imagery, blue and white wedding receptions always feel fresh and elegant.
