A Blue Wedding Dress Is Traditional For Russian Brides!

A blue wedding dress is a traditional color to don if you are in Russia. This goes back many generations.

Ancient Hebrew brides also used to incorporate blue into their wedding gowns as trim color, usually on a white wedding gown.

Traditionally it was a blue wedding dress that denoted purity, not a white wedding dress as widely thought. It wasn't till Queen Victoria wed Prince Albert in 1840 that white became to symbolize the purity of a bride. The beginning of the Victorian Era etched this new tradition of white dress purity and this fairly new tradition continues today.

celtic wedding cups Pastel shades of blue work fantastically with any style of dress. I personally love a pastel blue wedding gown with a very fitted bodice and a full organza skirt with layers and layers of this material in a ballroom style gown.

Very much so a fairy-tale princess wedding gown. This style works very well with a crown-like tiara with a long flowing veil also in pastel blue to complete the look.

In early 19th century Europe, ladies simply wore their "very best"attire to wed in; commoner's often wore something blue. Royalty married in silver ornate wedding gowns.

Blue velvet works very well to create a more medievil style wedding gown. It would look fantastic done in a very deep royal blue with a head-piece done in a ring of flowers: perfect for a wedding in a meadow!

Sky's the limit for a theme like this. Real silver wedding chalices are a must at the head table to drink your celebratory beverage of choice from.

Different shades of blue flowers mixed with white make beautiful centerpieces at your wedding tables, as well as being a beautiful bouquet to hold onto as you walk down the aisle.

You could wrap your bouquet up with blue and white long ribbons that drape down and flow along side your dress.

Wedding dresses are available in any color you can imagine. You can choose from a deep royal blue, which would be gorgeous for a winter wedding to the palest of blues, which would work perfectly for a spring or summer affair.
