Should you walk down the aisle without something blue? The tradition dates back to the Victorian England, but blue has been a symbol of faithfulness, purity, and loyalty since the days of ancient Rome. Sapphire earrings or a baby blue garter are a sweet and simple way to honor tradition, but bright cobalt nail polish isn’t as rebellious as your Great Aunt Muriel thinks! Before the nineteenth century, blue wedding dresses were far more common than white  gowns. Today, a soft blue dress makes a great "cut the cake" dress option!

Some brides choose to add a blue ribbon to their bouquets or add a blue monogram to their gowns. Unlike some bridal traditions, this is one custom that encourages creativity. Do you prefer teal to indigo? Adore azure, but can’t abide royal blue? Choose navy blue peep-toes or cobalt pumps to complement a more traditional gown.

Silk blouse or cami: By wearing a slightly dressier top underneath your blazer or suit jacket, you have the easy option of taking off the jacket for a night out.

A statement piece of jewelry: Pack a pair of chandelier earrings or a fancy necklace and some bangles, and you’ve instantly upped the glam factor!

An evening clutch/handbag: Don’t forget to bring a smaller evening bag to tie the whole look together.
