Blue and White, Perfect Wedding Palettes

Add tradition to your wedding by theming up your wedding day with fun, floral and frilly blue items. The dreamy white clouds and powder-blue sky are the perfect palettes for your wedding. Both white and blue have been the love of brides for many centuries.

“ Marry in blue, lover be true” was a popular refrain in the early 1800s. The blue colour also represents innocence. In 1840, Queen Victoria chose to wear white for her marriage to Prince Albert and since then brides have followed on wearing white. The blue and white colour scheme is truly romantic and charmingly fresh.

Look on nature and everyday objects to get ideas for your wedding and use them to theme your own wedding in blue and white.

Louise looked amazing in her Carolina Herrera gown “I was bamboozled trying to find something that was classy, elegant, timeless and flattering and all the other things that you’re told a wedding dress should be. I think I lost sight of the fact that it should be something I loved and that excited me rather than it being a safe choice. Finally I saw a dress that I could get excited about and set about tracking it down and I’m so glad I found it in Farah Novias Barcelona. I didn’t settle for something based on what other people would think of it, but found something that my sister described as “exactly the sort of thing I thought you’d pick.” So wait until you find something that speaks to you”.
