Cool blue wedding stationery will be the perfect hint towards your wedding day. If you want to add a bit of sparkle to your stationery then consider teaming your pale blue invitations with silver envelopes or sparkly silver envelope liners to add something extra special.
It’s a little known fact that many years ago wedding dresses were actually blue – blue is a symbol of purity so was the colour of choice for many brides. If you want to embrace this very old tradition then a delicate blue wedding dress will be something that your guests won’t be expecting and will look absolutely stunning as you walk down the aisle. If you are considering this style then try on a range of blue tones to see which shade suits your skin tone and your hair colour. You could then complete the look with a sparkling silver hair comb or tiara.
If a blue wedding dress is a bit too out there for you then how about having your wedding shoes as your something blue? Many wedding shoe designers offer their collections in pale blue so you will be spoiled for choice as you search for the perfect blue wedding shoes. You can then complete your bridal look with a pair of sparkling pale blue earrings and a matching pendant.
Your bridesmaids are one of the best ways to really show off your colour scheme. If your bridesmaids have a cool skin tone then icy blue will look amazing on them. Or if blue isn’t quite their style, a pale grey or silver palette will look great on everyone. Why not consider having mismatched bridesmaid dresses and having half your maids in grey and half in blue? It’s a big trend for 2017 weddings.

Your blue and silver wedding day wouldn’t be complete without a stunning icy blue bridal bouquet. Speak to your florist and see what flowers will be in season around your big day. You could then bind your bouquet with some gorgeous silver fabric to embrace your colour scheme.
Your wedding cake is another perfect way to show off your colour scheme. Tiers of pale blue icing look stunning when embellished with pretty silver detail and would be perfect for a winter wedding day. For a summer wedding, stick to a pastel blue shade and think about adding some delicate white and silver accents.
