Adding blue flowers would be a wonderful idea for something blue. No need to go all-blue if you are not into it. Opt for “pops” of blue only so the blue won’t overwhelm the flowers, and you can still stick to your original theme.

6. Subtle Hints

Don’t want to go too far with adding blue to your wedding? How about getting your initials or your wedding date embroidered on the inside of your wedding gown? So you know it’s there to add the lucky charm and a great keepsake.

Also, what better way to honor your loved ones who cannot make it to your wedding than with a photo charm that you can add to your bouquet?

You don’t need to go all out on the blue, but adding hints like mini butterflies, flowers and bows can elevate the look of your cake, as well as bring in that “something blue.”
