Preparations for a wedding celebration often begin with a choice of colors that can be traced in every detail: from invitations to banquets to attire of the bride and groom and decoration of the wedding cake. Newlyweds dream of making the holiday unforgettable for guests and symbolic for themselves and their loved ones. Especially popular is the wedding in blue.
Value, versatility
The color of the transparent sky represents purity, tenderness and constancy. It gives the celebration a special lightness and airiness. It is believed that such a color scheme symbolizes fidelity to each other and harmony with the outside world and with oneself. Over the past three years, it has become one of the most fashionable and popular choices. This is facilitated by its versatility:
- The blue color of the wedding in winter will be combined with white snow and sparkling snowflakes casting blue. The whole atmosphere of the cold and the winter fairy tale will be present at the celebration.
- In spring, there will be an association with the tenderness of the first flowers: hydrangea, iris, violets.
- In summer, the color palette will breathe in the scent of the sea and clear sky.
- In the fall it will bring peace and tranquility on rainy rainy days.
Shades
Blue can be used as a base color, adding shades from pale to bright saturated. A wedding in white and blue is appropriate if the bride wants to choose a traditionally white outfit, as well as in the winter season, this will add a feeling of a fabulous winter palace to the interior of the celebration.
White color is a symbol of not only innocence, but also prosperity, life, development. He possesses amazing magic, often associated with salvation and holiness. For those who have the opportunity to hold a wedding ceremony on the seashore - in a restaurant or on an open terrace - the blue and white color will be a godsend, giving a feeling of expanding space. Guests and newlyweds will feel like a particle of the universe.
A more saturated blue color will add sophistication and rigor. It attracts mystery to itself and is a symbol of nobility and stability. A wedding in blue and blue is an opportunity to demonstrate the contrast of the feminine and masculine.
The sky-blue outfit of the bride and the blue suit of the groom not only harmonize with each other, but also are an indicator of style and good taste. The contrast can be emphasized by the difference in materials in the decoration of the room: blue satin and blue chiffon. Moreover, the very blue color has so many shades that when combined, you can perfectly beat the festive compositions: from table decoration to wedding bouquets.
Outfits of the bride and groom
Having chosen blue as the basis, one should not strive to fulfill the triumph in the monochrome version, as for the costume of the bride and groom. If it is possible to dress the bridesmaids in blue dresses, and the groom's friends in formal suits with blue butterflies or ties, the newlyweds can stay in the traditional blue-white or black-and-white palette.
As a union with the theme of the celebration, a bride’s bouquet of hydrangeas, a blue garter and a sky-blue scarf looking out of the groom’s pocket is enough. If you want to beat the color palette in the dresses of the bride and groom, a wedding in soft blue will require a single style. Possible options:
- Luxurious dress of the bride, made in the selected color scheme, combined with a tie or bow-tie of the groom. Shoes matching the dress and a flower fastened on the lapel of the jacket.
- A white dress with blue accessories (bow, belt, buttons, brooch, diadem) and the presence of similar additions in the suit of the groom (cufflinks, handkerchief in your pocket, watch bracelet and even socks).
- White-blue dress of the bride and a similar shirt of the groom (with the corresponding edging of the collar, pocket). If you have a three-piece suit in blue, you can use a blue vest.
If the bride and groom use a single accessory (for example, a brooch in the form of a blue branch), a copy of it can be handed out to guests if the observance of the dress code for the celebration was not agreed in advance. This is important for creating a sense of unity with the festive event.
Interior decoration
To create a unified style of the room where the celebration will take place, decorators use various materials, accessories and lighting. Opportunities will be largely determined by the budget and the chosen venue for the wedding banquet.
What are the options if the color of the wedding is blue? The photo proposed in the article demonstrates the possibilities of playing with light to make the hall resemble a winter fairy-tale palace. An important place is given to curtains and curtains, their material and color scheme. The woven design also applies to covering tables, chairs, carpets, creating additional curtains.
As accessories, balls, ribbons, blue glass, paintings, floristry are used. In the photo you can see the summer version of interior decoration, during the celebration in the open air. This, by the way, is one of the most budget options.
Table decoration
In order not to create stress, overloading the table with one color, it is important to decide what shade the service will be used. With blue plates and salad bowls, there are enough floral elements and napkins in which the base color is present. Then the tablecloth and vases are appropriate boiling white. With white dishes, a blue track on a table that fits into the style of the event is enough.
It is very interesting to make bottle covers by tying them with a tape of a basic shade. A wedding in blue is impossible without understanding, which combines the shade of the sea wave. Beige, coffee or creamy tones that can be used when laying the table are good for it: napkins, vases, service. Lace is very appropriate, which emphasize the lightness and airiness of the celebration. Blue loves a bright green color, so bouquets can be easily decorated using greenery.
Wedding procession
Exquisite decoration of the holiday will be incomplete without decorating the wedding procession. He will deliver the newlyweds to the place of celebration and will be remembered no less than their outfits. Decor elements can be either purchased in stores or made independently, while maintaining the selected color scheme. What should be envisaged?
The wedding in blue is spectacular on a car of a similar shade. Then, for decoration, you can use a compatible color scheme. Traditionally, rings, figurines of the bride and groom, and bouquets in the shape of a heart are installed on the head machine.
Accompanying cars can be decorated more modestly: with blue ribbons, helium balloons inflated with helium, small flowers from which words can be laid out. If the wedding procession is a very expensive vehicle, it is better to decorate it discreetly, but originally. The photo offers an option that is very stylish.
Optional accessories
It will be effective if the waiters have in their clothes a blue accessory: apron, blouse or headdress. For the rings of the bride and groom you will need a pillow, which can be embroidered in the style of a festive event. When parents present bread and salt, a rushnyk with blue flowers will look beautiful . As a reward for participating in competitions held by the host, guests can be awarded small prizes - a reminder of the solemn event - also designed in a basic shade: pens, magnets, mugs. Recently, they are drawn up with photographs of the bride and groom.
A wedding in blue begins with invitations that can be prepared on appropriate paper, typed in colored print, or simply tied with beautiful bows. They can reflect the requirements for the participants of the celebration: the presence of blue in clothing or accessories. At the festival itself, you can use a movie booth decorated in the selected color scheme. In the movie booth, similar interiors can be presented: the seashore, the snow castle, flying through the endless sky.
The wedding cake
An indicator of the scope of a wedding event is often its important attribute - a wedding cake. It is ordered in many tiers, of an unusual form, in the form of a real work of art (with figures of the newlyweds, the hearts of lovers, beautiful inscriptions). Making a wedding in blue requires that the final touch of the celebration be done in a single color scheme. This can be the general color of the confectionery, decoration in the form of flowers or compliance with the shade in the cut, which could be a very memorable moment. Outwardly, the cake looks multi-colored with a predominance of white, and after the solemn cutting by the bride and groom, the inside appears in blue.
Psychologists believe that the shade of the sea wave is a kind of elixir of youth, which each of the guests will take with them.
