blue

Blue has been a desired color for weddings for centuries. Blue is so beautiful and it is easily accented and works well with any venue. But to find why blue has held on in the rainbow of wedding colors for so long, we have to look to history.

You have probably heard the rhyme associated with brides, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” This was more than a rhyme during the Victorian era. This was a recipe for a happy marriage that people of the day strongly believed in.

The Oxford English Dictionary dates the earliest recorded honeymoon as the 16th Century. But the practice really took off during the 1800s when wealthy couples would travel Europe to visit family members who were unable to make the wedding.

They often took friends, servants and family with them. Not such a popular idea for modern day couples who relish the time alone after the madness of the wedding planning. The idea of travel immediately following the Big Day is so well-established nowadays that 99% of couples who choose a traditional wedding will plan a honeymoon to follow.
