"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed...Something Blue"
Whether you are a traditionalist or not, this catchy little phrase is used at least once at every wedding. Since I was a little girl, I have been dreaming of what I would use to fulfill the four "Somethings." Let's see my old- I want to pin my grandfather's purple heart he earned in WWII to my dress, my new- there are a lot of things that will be new, but maybe a pair of designer earrings? my borrowed- maybe my grandmother's handkerchief and my blue- Oh, my something blue- I know exactly what my something blue will be...but I think I will not divulge just yet!!
Regardless of whether you have been daydreaming for years or are so overwhelmed with the tasks of planning the big day, here are some ideas on how to take that old adage and put a new, more modern spin on your Something Blue!
Today, We'll start with shoes... not just any shoes, though! Shoes so special, they could only be fit for a bride!
Blue Shoes!!
Make your debut down the isle in something so special it can only come in the form of Manolo Blahnik!! *Deep Sigh** How can we all ever forget the way we felt when Carrie Bradshaw unwrapped those TO DIE FOR blue Manolo's in her imaculate closet built for her by no other than Mr. Big. For me, "Something Blue" reached a whole new level. But, let's say we are on a somewhat more price conscientious budget... there are tons of blue shoes out there that need some praise as well!
Featured below is a selection I find to be nothing short of fabulous! And P.S. ladies...the blue peacock feather shoes can be found at Frills n' Fancies in STATESBORO!!!
These are the breath-taking Manolo Blahnik's that helped fuel the fire for Blue Shoes under your wedding dress! They are just to-die-for! Cobalt blue satin with a crystal broach detail... absolutely DELICIOUS!
Price: $945.00 Nieman Marcus
I know...you LOVE that peacock feather don't you?!?! I can see this paired with the sassiest little reception dress! Scott at Frills n' Fanices introduced me to these show stoppers right before the Statesboro Bride Wedding Walk and I have been smitten ever sense! Ladies, get to Frills n' Fancies ASAP and snag these shoes!! They are made by Jonathan Kayne and are too good to be true at only $130.00!!!
These China Dolls are too cute!! And that's exactly why they are named the Nina Electra China Blue.
I found these cuties on Zappos.com and while they are regularly priced at $89.95, they are on sale for $65!!
Stealing in this sense is totally legal!
And of course for brides who are geared toward comfort these beauties come in royal blue and are made by ME TOO! They are too cute! And even better, you can find them on Zappos.com for the sale price of $62.00!!
I'll have more Something Blue ideas coming soon! In the meantime, just remember to make your "Something Blue" something that's all about YOU!
