Accessorising your bridal look with blue
‘Something blue’ often conjures up images of blue shoes, a blue garter or a blue bow hidden inside the lining of a wedding gown. There are many creative and unique ways to weave this tradition into your wedding look without overwhelming the rest of your chosen colour palette.
1. Blue bridal earrings
The addition of blue doesn’t need to be delicate. A classic pearl drop set of earrings can instantly transform with blue crystal details for a colour pop.
