Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Even if you aren’t exactly a “traditional bride” following some wedding traditions can still be fun. Personally, I do not consider myself a blue garter sort of person and we were not into the whole garter-grab-flower-toss-spectacle. If you aren’t that sort of person either, here are a few ideas for you.
First, let’s start with Glo’s very own, Taryn. Miss Taryn, opted for an intimate blue garment. She has a whimsical personality and to her there was only one perfect blue option, BLUE UNDERPANTS! Apparently, these bloomers were so blue they actually showed up through her gown! Ah-Maze-Ing…
If you just couldn’t pull off the blue panties (some of us need shape enhancement via the wonderful Spanx option) maybe you would enjoy some equally charming alternatives that suit your unique personality. I chose to paint my fingernails and toe nails blue. Selecting the perfect shade was half the fun.
For weeks I searched high and low for the best shade. Leading up to the big day I conducted a serious of tests before making the final decision. Finally, I went with the OPI Russian Navy Matte shade. It looked so beautiful.
What if panties or nails aren’t the options for you? Here are a few other ideas to spark your creative thinking:
Bangles
Shoes
Hair Pieces
A fabulous clutch
Peacock Feathers integrated into your bouquet
Your Dress
A Sash
Flowers (Hydrangea is a great option)
Everyone knows that turquoise earrings or accessories are always fabulous too. Some people may feel that blue hair is going to be their signature.
I mean if you use Angelica Huston in The Life Aquatic as your muse it would be hard to think blue hair was anything but luxurious and chic.
Like every part of your wedding, integrating options that best suit you and your partners’ personalities is key. My dress would have looked silly with a blue sash and something as benign as having blue shoes would not have worked for me. Once you know what you love, own it. You can be as traditional or avant-garde as you choose as long as you stay true to what you love!
