I have both in my ring. Maybe white sapphire center stone, and incorporate blue sapphires in your wedding band?
I prefer blue sapphires, navy goes with pretty much any color so I don't think you have to worry about it clashing.
Blue sapphires go with everything too. I have one and I've never once thought to myself, "geez, I wish I didn't have to wear this ring today because it doesn't go with my outfit."
White center stone and blue ones in your band like Peaches13 said! Then you get both =)
If you are concerned about people thinking you are trying to pass it off as a diamond, don't be! I have a very lightly colored, peach sapphire that can look clear in different lighting. People often have to take 2nd looks because the color is so slight ... I LOVE IT.
However, I'm quick to say, "it's a peach sapphire.. I just love the unique color!" when people comment on my ring.
I'd try on some stones and see what you like best. For me, I wasn't big on a blue stone every day...but I just LOVE everyone else's blue sapphires!
Good luck deciding!
@BackyardLoveBird: I agree. I have a blue sapphire, and I never think it won't go with something. Plus, it can be your something blue at your wedding!
this was from the "just for fun lets trade rings post", it's another bee's. It's probably my favorite ring ever now! You can have both white and blue?
I agreed with a mixture as well, I think the combo is stunning. I just got a white and blue sapphire ring for Christmas and while I was concerned with the "matching" factor in reality it is a beautiful gemstone...it goes with everything.
Flip a coin - heads is blue, and tails is white. As it falls, which one flashes across your mind as the one you hope it will be? Then go with that.
Check out @JuniperSage's ring. YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE. I was not a fan of sapphires or rose gold until I saw that baby.
@love108: aww! Thanks :) ... honestly, I had zero intensions of getting a ring that wasn't a diamond until I saw this one too :)
If you for sure want the diamond halo, I would go with a blue sapphire. If you go with white, it will look like there is a mismatch, if that makes sense. Also the diamonds may overshadow the white sapphire just because of the sparkle factor.
I would go with blue. I have a blue sapphire ring with a white sapphire halo and for some reason the white sapphires look flat and almost dirty like unless I've just cleaned it. The sapphire always looks good.
@Over the Moon: Agreed. It sounds like your guy instinct was to go with the blue, so I would trust that. You can always get a nice blue and white sapphire ring for your right hand at a later date. Chances are, unless you meet a fellow Bee, someone will almost always mistake any ring that isn't a diamond solitaire as a 'fashion' ring instead of an engagement ring...I wouldn't worry too much about that 
When I was shopping for rings, I purposely wore pink just so I could see if it clashed with the blue. It didn't. My sapphire looks good with everything. :D I've got a diamond halo around it. It all goes great together and it goes with every outfit. So I wouldn't worry about that. I will say that the diamonds and the sapphire look good in different lights. I get to fully enjoy the sapphire in the sunlight and the diamonds in ambient light, like in jewelry stores and parking lots.
@GoldfishPie: Wow, thank you so much for this! Everybody's opinions helped a lot too, but I actually thought about doing the coin flip, and instantly I knew which one I want to look at for the rest of my life.
White sapphire it is.
Congrats on making your decision! I'll look forward to seeing your ring. :)
Where did you get your setting from? I feel like you are describing the same exact ring I got...and I am setting it with a blue chatham sapphire as well :-)
You know if you really love the blue (that's what it sounds like) then go for it. You can't go wrong if Kate Middleton's engagement ring is a blue sapphire. It definitely says pure royalty when I see it.
If you want to incorporate both stones maybe you can have a White Sapphire center stone with blue ones on the side or the other way around? Or like another bee said you can incorporate both stones in your wedding band?
Now that I can remember I had a ring with a white sapphire in it and it always gets dull and dirty easily. I vote for the blue. It will match with everything if you just rock it!

Blue!
Originally, I'd found a halo setting I loved, and my dream ring was to get it with Amora gem. Because it's not out yet, I had to consider what I wanted in the meantime, moissy or blue sapphire. I looked into white sapphire for a bit, but didn't like a few things about it. I chose the blue sapphire in the end, since it was the cheapest and colorful. I figured I'd switch out the stone when the Amora gem came out. Now that I have it, though, I LOVE my blue sapphire and would never change it for a clear stone. The color is wonderful, and it looks great with the halo, plus it's different. I'm really happy with my decision to go with color.
If you always wanted blue, go with blue. It's beautiful, and I think it's more unique. There are lots of blue gemstones, but the deep blue of sapphires is so different from diamonds or aquamarine. White stones all pretty much look the same, minus the sparkle.

Ladies,
I'm in a pickle.
I was always sure I wanted a blue sapphire as the center stone of my E-ring. I LOVE blue, even though it's not my birthstone or anything. My E-ring is going to have a braided band and a diamon halo. We are going with lab-created Chatham sapphires, which are gorgeous and appropriate (I spent most of my college life in the lab!).
However, I came across white sapphires today, and I think I'm in love. So, I got to thinking, and made a pros and cons list, but I'm still not sure which I want now!
Pros:
Blue - It's unique, vibrant, and my favorite color. Not that I ever wanted a big diamond, but the price difference is something I can really appreciate, since I DID always want a big stone.
White - It will "go" with everything I wear because it is colorless. It sparkles, but not too much. One of the reasons I'm not going for diamond or moissanite is because all the sparkling and rainbows really isn't my thing. Price is equal or even less than blue sapphire.
Cons:
Blue - Blue doesn't exactly "go" with everything I might wear. People might mistake it for regular jewelry or not an engagement ring because of the color.
White - People might think I'm trying to pass it off as a diamond. I'm not - I just found that I really do love the colorless, icy look to the stone. It's also not as "unique" as the blue.
So, even after all this, they are about even in my mind. Hopefully we can have the jeweler order in some of both so I can see. I would be getting a round brilliant cut no matter what. SO says he likes whatever makes me happy. I think he's just scared he'll pick one and then I'll realize I like the other better.
