Whether you just got engaged or are in the midst of planning, your wedding day “something blue” is a fun addition not to be forgotten. Though it may only seem like a color for the bridal shower or a nautical-themed celebration, it’s definitely a fun “pop” to add to your day… or even to shade in the bigger parts of the celebration. Before you say “I Do,” read on for 12 awesome ways to incorporate something blue and keep your bridal bliss going strong.
1. Invites + Save the Dates: Show your “something blue” right from the start with your Save the Dates or invites. (via Wedding Paper Divas)
