Perfect Pooches…
Not only is incorporating pets into your wedding celebration a sure-fire way to bring a smile to all your guests faces, it’s also the perfect way to include your ‘something blue’. Don your doggy with a little blue bowtie so that they’re looking dapper and following tradition at the same time.
Blue Blooms…
Including blue hues in your bridal bouquet is an effortless way of incorporating the tradition into your big day. Make blue hydrangeas or orchids the hero of your bouquet or take a more subtle approach and include a few tweedia blooms.
Something Sexy…
Keep your “something blue” intimate by wearing blue toned lingerie. This part of the tradition will be for your partner’s eyes only so choose something that makes you feel sexy. Whether it’s cool toned underwear or a striking blue body suit, this is an alluring spin on a classic tradition.
