Throwing rice, jumping the broom, wearing something blue—these are just some of the traditions that help to make your wedding ceremony feel unlike any other day of your life. If you’re leaning towards “something blue,” there are so many ways to incorporate the English custom into your wedding festivities. But finding the perfect blue item—the color is thought to symbolize love and fidelity—requires some strategy.
Perhaps a light coat of Chanel’s Le Vernis will look lovely on your nails. Or follow Carrie Bradshaw’s lead and dawn a feathery headpiece with your wedding dress—Emilio Pucci just released a sweet quill headband that’s guaranteed to be a showstopper. If a large plume doesn’t feel right for you, grab a fringe-covered bag to carry around the reception. Take a closer look and discover more wedding tradition-worthy items that will have you feeling blue in the best possible way.
