    I'm not sure what I will use yet, maybe the garter? i wanted blue shoes but i am having a burgandy dress and I can't think of a shade of blue that will go with it.

    what is your something blue?

    is there a shade of blue that goes well with burgundy??

    I'm wearing blue Louboutins! I love the idea of making your shoes the something blue. But I think a blue garter would be cute, or I've seen people who pin a blue ribbon somewhere on their dress (I think someone on here did it with her fiance's name on it?).

    I'd say a dark blue with the burgandy. Does navy still count as something blue? Can we see the dress?

    I carried a vintage hankie with blue flowers on it.

    I tried the garter, but my dress was pretty thin so you could see the blue through it.

    I have several something blues: great-grandmother's brooch, shoes (btw: any blue will pretty much go with burgundy--) and there'll be blue in the bouquet.

    A darker blue maybe better with a burgundy dress.

    My something blue is my grandma's old scarf that she used when she rolled her hair :). I'm going to pin it in the underside of my dress.   I miss her so much!  She practically raised me growing up.  I am excited that I can carry a piece with me down the isle to remember her by on my special day.

    @soon2beMrsGP: Totally awesome idea! I wanted to embroider something like that, I may steal this!!

    Can I cheat and have my 'something blue' be a tattoo?? It's already there...after all

    Right now, it's a brooch in my brooch bouquet.  The blue is so dark it looks black.  FI just found, however, a GORGEOUS small blue porcelain mask from Venice that he got years ago.  Since we're having a masquerade wedding, I might attach the mask to the handle of the bouquet.

    @soon2beMrsGP: That is a great idea. I was considering doing something similar, but simpler. I was just going to sew a blue ribbon inside my petticoats - perhaps include a little horseshoe. I do like your idea a lot though, so I might nick it!

    @murmur and @ninadoggy:  Thanks so much!  I got that idea from a pic I saw on another website and loved it!  My seamstress that did my alterations had previously made one for 1 other bride, and it turned out to be one of my absolute favorite things from the wedding :)

    My accent/BM dress color is a dusty aqua, so my mom got me a pair of aquamarine earrings for my something blue. They are emerald cut aquamarine drop earrings with little diamonds around the aquamarines. Can't wait to wear them!

    I love the idea of having sapphire jewelry as your something blue. I think deep blue sapphires are absolutely stunning against an all white, bridal ensemble. My something blue will be my Zales sapphire and diamond promise ring which will become my engagement ring when the time comes!

    These two pairs of studs are gorgeous:

    These drops are gorgeous, as well:

    I love the idea of blue on the shoes and if you dont want to wear an all blue shoe theres a maker maybe more tgan one who makes powder blue soled wedding shoes. Ive also seen blue rhinestones on the bottom of soles that say I do - one word on each sole!

    I think I will do garter. I really can't imagine wearing blue anywhere visable. Works for some but I just can't think of anywhere it would look good for me.
