The 60 best blue wedding theme ideas 

Blue bridesmaid dresses

First up, we’re talking blue wedding fashion. Well, if one thing is for sure, it’s that no one will actually be feeling blue when wearing blue because this colour looks good on everyone. These blue bridesmaid dresses are fun but classic and elegant. Blue is one of those colours that, much like green, is pretty much a neutral tone in the wedding world. Get your girls together in mismatched shades of blue or all matching coordinated dresses, the styling is up to you!

Blue wedding dresses

A traditional wedding dress is something we’ll always love. But coloured wedding dresses? Now that’s something truly unforgettable. If you want to make a statement or maybe you’ve never cared for tradition, choosing a blue wedding dress is one option we recommend. Perhaps you’re getting married for the second time and don’t feel like the white wedding dress is very you? We’d always recommend some colour!
