Something blue

I'm not someone that you would call superstitious. When it came to the "Something Old, Something New" rhyme, I wanted to have all my items checked off on the big day. Something old, my great-grandfather's class ring, (sized to fit my pinky), Something New - my tiara. But when it came to Something blue... I got stumped! I detest garter belts, and that is the most traditional way to add a little something in the hue. I ended up sewing a blue bow on to a hankie that I carried with me. As a bonus, you can turn the hankie into a christening bonnet for your first born. I found it at AC Moore. To get your creative juices flowing - here are just a few more ideas:

-Blue toenail polish
-Blue shoes
-Blue panties
-A blue hair pin - ala "Bride Wars" (search for one on ebay, there are some gorgeous ones)
-A sapphire ring or earrings
-A blue ribbon around your flowers
-I also heard of one bride who had a creative mother sew "Happily Ever After" in blue on her petticoat.
