According to wedding traditions, the bride should have "something blue" as part of her wedding attire. Blue was said to represent love, fertility, and purity, which almost every Victorian era bride was expected to possess. Here are some ideas for incorporating "something blue" into a brides wedding attire:
- Wear blue shoes
- Wear a blue hair accessory
- Wear a blue ribbon
- Wear blue jewelry
- Have blue accents in the wedding bouquet or floral arrangements
- Have blue accents in the wedding decor
Its worth noting that the "something blue" tradition is just one part of the larger "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" rhyme, which originated in England during the Victorian Era and symbolized luck for a bride on her wedding day.
