What is/was your something blue?

alabastamasta, 24 September, 2013 at 11:45 Posted on Planning 0 28

Post on here got me thinking: what are you having/did you have for your something blue?

I don't wear the colour *at all*, so am def not doing the garter or underwear thing. I did see a really lovely idea where the wedding date was embroidered in blue silk thread on the inside of the dress, so might do that

What's everyone else doing? Smiley laugh

    Cheesy but i have the "i do" stickers for the bottom of my shoes in blue. Only thing i could think of as i cant wear a garter with my dress as its too tight.

    My mum has given me her old garter which has blue on it.

    I'm not 100% sure i'll wear it yet as it's a bit old, tatty and quite old fashioned. (my mum says she doesn't mind, other wise i would wear it for her)

    She has also lent me a broach with some blue stones on which was her nans. I'm thinking I might pin it to my bouquet - do you think that counts?

    This way I have covered old, borrowed and blue Smiley smile

    I struggled with "BLUE". In the end I painted my toenails bright blue.

    I had my late Nana's eternity ring stitched into the underskirts of my dress with a blue ribbon. My dress was new so the ring and ribbon were old, borrowed (from my mum) and blue. Although I'd also got my toenails painted blue when i had a pedicure the week before the wedding, so I had two blue thing really.

    Personalised shoe stickers. I was desperate to wear something with his (our) surname on and couldn't bear the thought of having it emblazoned across my arse like the knickers some brides wear, so I went with shoes.

    Beautiful shoes Gnashers! Very envious!!

    I'm really struggling to think of my 'something blue'. My dress is too tight for a garter and i can't think what else to have! Do OH's eyes count?!

    I've got ideas but I've not done anything yet.

    thinking blue underwear or just tying a blue ribbon somewhere.

    This is a nice idea. We did something similar when I was BM for a friend of mine. We realised on the day of the wedding that she didn't have anything blue, so we raided her nan's sewing box and found blue embroidery thread. I then embroidered their initials and the wedding date onto the ribbon that laced up the internal corset on her dress (it was covered by buttons so not on show). It was quite a rush job, so couldn't manage full names or anything, but with time you could probably get names/date embroidered properly on the inside. Smiley smile

    I had the date sewn onto a tag on the underside of my dress skirt, so I could flash it for some photos!

    My God Gnashers I'm in love with those shoes they are incredible!

    I have blue brooches in my brooch bouquet but I also might paint my toenails blue. The something borrowed I'm struggling with.

    Both of my bridesmaids and I are all Brownie leaders so for mine, I borrowed one of their world guiding badges and we pinned it to one of my underskirts. It is a blue badge and also was my borrowed, plus it meant something to us as Guiding is something we all have in common Smiley smile
