“Something blue” might be an old tradition, but it still feels so right for modern weddings. Blue is all about love, loyalty, and luck – and what better excuse to add a dreamy pop of colour into your day? Whether you go bold or keep it subtle, there are so many fun ways to make it your own. Here are our favourite ideas (with a few Whole Bride must-haves) to get you inspired.
Silk Bouquet Ribbon
Your bouquet is already beautiful, but adding floaty Silk Bouquet Ribbon takes it to a whole new level. Soft, romantic, and effortlessly dreamy, it’s the kind of detail that moves with you and photographs beautifully – making your flowers feel even more special.
Wedding Morning Pyjamas
Wedding mornings are all about feeling comfy but camera-ready. Our Pyjamas in Powder Blue are perfect for sipping champagne with your bridal party, getting glam, and nailing those candid “getting ready” shots. Whether it’s you or your bridesmaids looking chic in blue, it’s a beautiful nod to tradition – especially if you’d prefer not to weave the colour into the rest of your day. Bonus: you’ll actually want to wear them again, long after the wedding.
Styling Details
Think linens, candles, or ribbon wrapped menus. Small blue details on your reception tables feel elevated and thoughtful, while tying the tradition into your day without it feeling overdone.
Bridesmaids Dresses
Want to go bigger with the tradition? Dressing your bridesmaids in blue instantly ties your whole bridal party together. Keep it timeless with one matching shade, or mix and match different tones and styles for a fresh, modern look.
Bridal Shoes
Shoes are a timeless way to add “something blue.” They’re the perfect way to weave in colour without stealing the spotlight from your dress – a detail you’ll love every time you peek down at your feet. Plus, they make for gorgeous photos on the day.
Ring Box
Your rings deserve a moment too. Our Luxe Velvet Ring Box in Bondi is the perfect way to present your bands for the big “I do.” The hint of blue looks incredible in flatlays and close-ups, and it adds a thoughtful detail to your ceremony, too.
Flowers
Add a touch of blue to your bouquet or arrangements – think hydrangeas, delphiniums, cornflowers, and beyond. With so many stunning blue blooms to pick from, it’s easy to add a detail that softens neutrals and gives your flowers a modern, romantic edge.
Bridal Bag
Every bride needs a bag for the little things – lipstick, tissues, vows, phone. Our Belle Bow Bag in the dreamiest shade of blue is practical, pretty, and the sweetest way to cover your “something blue.”
Stationery
From welcome signs to menus and place cards, stationery is one of the easiest ways to add your “something blue.” It not only sets the vibe for the day but also sneaks in subtle pops of colour that look amazing in photos.
Keepsake Handkerchief
Happy tears are guaranteed. A handkerchief embroidered with “Something Blue” is not only handy on the day, but also makes for the most special keepsake to look back on.
Make Tradition Your Own
Your “something blue” doesn’t need to be big or obvious – it’s all about the details that feel right for you. From ribbon on your bouquet to a Belle Bow Bag or a Bondi ring box, these little touches add personality and make your day feel that much more special. At The Whole Bride, we’re all about those once-in-a-lifetime details – from bridal pyjamas to confetti, and of course, the dreamiest ways to make your “something blue” your own.
