We love longstanding wedding traditions, but it’s refreshing to see modern and fresh takes on their interpretations. Your “something blue” is a tradition that dates back to the 1800s, when the traditional wedding dress color was not white, but blue. Blue is a color that is believed to represent love and fidelity, so it’s no surprise that this superstition is still very much followed today! Brides nowadays, however, go beyond the conventional blue garter and use more visible and unique ways to show off their “something blue.” From gorgeous blue heels to a swoon-worthy blue wedding cake, get inspired by some of these great “something blue” ideas:
