A Deeper Shade: The Blue Wedding Theme

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

We’ve all heard this famous rhyme at some point, and because of this dedication to tradition, blue has become a popular hue to feature at weddings.

Historically, it’s actually known as a token of fidelity and good fortune, and today’s couples are embracing blue as a full wedding palette, blending old-school tradition with a modern twist. From soft powder blue to deep navy, the versatility of this hue ensures it works for any season or style.

For the romantics there’s the option of a dreamy pastel aesthetic; or a bold, regal feel for a more serious, elevated affair. It even extends to jewellery choices. Sapphire engagement rings, or aquamarine and topaz accents used in bridal jewellery or inside the wedding bands ensure there are stunning blue gemstone options that can be incorporated into the theme in a variety of ways.

A splash of sapphire jewellery

Sapphires are precious gemstones well-known for their rich blue hues, and they also come in a range of other colours. Their lore includes symbolising wisdom, loyalty, and even nobility. Because of this, they’ve been favoured in all kinds of jewellery for centuries, including some truly iconic engagement rings.

Their versatile blue tones make them a natural fit for a blue-themed wedding and sapphire jewellery can be incorporated in so many creative ways. A guest can choose to honour the theme by wearing a sapphire necklace, while the bridal party could opt for matching sapphire earrings, or celebrate their friendship with matching sapphire bracelets.

Underwater romance with aquamarine jewellery

Aquamarine is known for its serene, oceanic blue tones, and the fact that it symbolises tranquillity and harmony. This zen gem is popular for its fresh and airy colour, and can beautifully complement a true blue wedding.

While we don’t recommend aquamarine as a centre gemstone for rings due to its relative softness, it works beautifully in other ways. Aquamarine jewellery can be incorporated into accent pieces like aquamarine earrings. Its delicate hue could seamlessly tie your bridesmaids’ outfits by getting each one a matching aquamarine necklace.

Topaz or not topaz jewellery

Blue topaz is a truly striking gemstone that’s known for its sky-blue shades. Topaz jewellery is pretty perfect for a blue theme wedding, as it ties into the colour palette. Topaz earrings in a crisp, cool hue would look great on anyone from the wedding party, and a topaz necklace would be a perfect finishing touch, highlighting that important attention to detail.

Tantalised by tanzanite jewellery

Tanzanite, is a rare gemstone, and is cherished for its stunning purplish-blue hue, which shifts beautifully under different lighting. Its deep blue tones make it a perfect fit for a blue-themed wedding, and the colours look stunning on different kinds of tanzanite jewellery. A peek-a-boo of blue from some tanzanite earrings, or a subtle tanzanite necklace are lovely additions to any wedding day ensemble.

Wedding rings to express your love of true blue

If you’re planning a blue-themed wedding, chances are it’s a colour you or your partner love. So, why not carry that sentiment into your wedding ring? A design featuring blue sapphires or a blue Signature Stone is a beautiful way to make your ring feel even more personal. Whether as a centrepiece, delicate accents, or a hidden gem on the band, incorporating blue into your ring creates a lasting connection to the colour that’s so meaningful.

Engagement rings when blue is your colour

If your love of blue spans further than your wedding, there are many ways to incorporate it into your engagement ring and even your proposal journey. It might remind you of the crystal clear water you frolicked in on your first holiday together, or it could be their ocean blue eyes that you want represented in your engagement ring. These blue precious gemstones can be set either as centre stones, accent side stones or the hidden Signature Stones.

Whether you’re designing your own engagement ring, a very popular trend these days, or you’re the ‘proposer’ designing for your partner – there are plenty of ways to incorporate blue into your design. For instance, a toi et moi design can make two gemstones the stars of the show, creating a beautiful colour combination.

Lucky blue colours

If the song ‘I’m Blue’ by Eiffel 65 isn’t the only way you choose to colour-coordinate, you might want to add in some other hues for variety. Here are a few that pair really nicely.

White or Ivory

A timeless classic, white or ivory creates a clean, crisp contrast with blue. Very bridal, it’s perfect for gowns, linens, or floral arrangements.

Silver, Gold or other Metallics

Silver accents, along with gold or rose gold, can add a spacey feel to a blue wedding theme. Metallics enhance the richness of blue and create an intergalactic look.

Blush Pink

Soft blush or pale pink brings out a really romantic side of blue. The pairing of blue with pink creates a dreamy pastel scene, reminiscent of the colour schemes of Taylor Swift’s Lover and Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream albums, both synonymous with love and romance. It’s also a great combo for a spring or summer wedding.

Coral or Peach

Coral or peach tones provide a warm, refreshing contrast to the blue, adding depth without overwhelming the blue theme. It’s a perfect combination for a beach or tropical wedding.

Lavender or Purple

Shades of lavender, lilac, or deep purple work well with blue to create a serene and cool colour palette. This combination is great for spring or summer weddings and gives a cosy yet joyful feeling.

Mint Green

Mint green paired with blue creates a fresh, airy aesthetic. This combo works beautifully for beach or garden weddings, bringing in a light and breezy vibe.

Gray or Slate

For a more modern and sophisticated vibe, blue with shades of grey or slate offers a chic and steely aesthetic. It’s perfect for a contemporary or winter wedding.

Burgundy or Maroon

Deep red shades like burgundy or maroon offer a dramatic and elegant contrast to a darker blue, especially when paired with deep blue hues. This is ideal for autumn or winter weddings.

Blue wedding

By mixing shades and textures, you can create a colour scheme that highlights your chosen shade of blue while adding additional depth and personality to your wedding theme. It’ll be the perfect backdrop to all your celebrations and subsequent pictures.

Blue-themed weddings are sure to continue to be a popular choice for couples because the colour symbolises tradition, trust, and is just very very pretty to look at. Whether it’s a soft pastel blue for a romantic spring ceremony or a deep navy for a sophisticated evening affair, blue suits a variety of styles and seasons.

Of course, some people might prefer a sage green wedding theme, a black and white wedding theme, or a purple wedding theme, and the beauty of your big day is exactly that. It’s yours.

With ‘something blue’ being a well-known wedding tradition, incorporating the colour into the overall theme feels both intentional and meaningful. And, if it makes you happy, embrace the cool shades of blue with both hands.
