Lord Thompson Manor

For Brides who choose blue as one of their Wedding colors, fulfilling the Something Blue requirement of the old Bridal tradition is simple and effortless.  The Lord Thompson Manor has a few suggestions for the plethora of Brides who don’t choose blue as a Wedding color, but still want to have Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue.

1.  The garter is the most popular place for a Bride to sneak in Something Blue.  The entire garter can be a feminine powder blue, or perhaps just some lace or decorative beading.

2.  When Something Blue is desired, but the color would be obtrusive, there are a few ways to hide it.  A Bride could choose blue lingerie beneath her dress.  She could also stitch some blue thread or beads to the label in her gown.

3.  A Bride who wants to show off her Something Blue can do so through jewelry.  Whether she prefers the shades of sapphires or turquoise, there are endless earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and anklets she can choose from.

4.  One fashionable trend recently has been colored shoes with Brides’ white Wedding Dresses, and this can be the perfect way to incorporate Something Blue.  Chic navy heels can combine tradition with fashion perfectly.

5.  If feet are the way to go, but a Bride has her heart set on a pair of shoes that is decidedly not blue, she can opt for a nice shade of blue polish for her pedicure.  That Something Blue can be as noticeable or as discreet as the Bride likes.
