Ask Someone to Be Your 'Something Blue' for Your Wedding

Weddings are about love, tradition, and special moments. One meaningful tradition is "something blue," symbolising love and fidelity. Introducing our new “Something Blue” card, the perfect way to ask someone special to be your “something blue” on your big day!

The Meaning Behind 'Something Blue'

The tradition of "something blue" dates back to ancient times, with brides wearing blue as a symbol of purity, love, and loyalty. While the tradition has evolved, the sentiment remains the same. It's a beautiful way to carry a piece of history into your modern wedding, and it’s often done through a small accessory, like a garter, shoes, or jewellery.

But what if your "something blue" could be more than just an object? What if it could be someone who has been there for you, someone who adds colour to your life?

Who Can Be Your 'Something Blue'?

Choosing who to ask to be your "something blue" can be as special as the tradition. It could be:

• A Close Friend: The one who’s been by your side through thick and thin, who knows you better than anyone else.
• A Family Member: A beloved sister, cousin, or aunt who has always been there for you.
• A Mentor or Role Model: Someone who has guided you and had a lasting impact on your journey.

By asking them to be your "something blue," you’re inviting them to play a unique and cherished role in your wedding, one that goes beyond the usual duties.

Creative Ways to Ask Someone to Be Your 'Something Blue'

Now that you know who you want to ask, let’s talk about how to ask them in a way that’s meaningful and memorable. This is where our new “Something Blue” card comes in!

Our card is designed with elegance and charm, featuring a lovely blue hue that perfectly captures the tradition. It’s the perfect way to pop the question: “Will you be my ‘something blue’?”

Here’s how you can make the moment even more special:

• Pair it with a Gift: Along with the card, you could give a small blue gift—like a piece of jewellery, a scarf, or a pretty accessory. It’s a sweet keepsake they can treasure.
• Create a Special Moment: Present the card during a bridal shower, at a special dinner, or in a quiet, private moment. This makes the experience even more personal.
• Personalise the Message: Write a letter share from your heart. Let them know why you’ve chosen them and what their presence in your life means to you.

How to Incorporate 'Something Blue' into the Wedding

Once they’ve said “yes,” you can brainstorm fun and creative ways for them to incorporate "something blue" into your wedding. Here are some ideas:

• Wear It: They could wear a blue accessory—like shoes, a scarf, or even a piece of jewellery that matches the wedding theme.
• Carry It: A blue bouquet or a small blue charm could be carried down the aisle.
