Anthropologie’s iconic blue provides the perfect shade to incorporate into your bridal style. Whether it’s your shoes, jewellery, a garter, or even edible flowers on the cake, discover creative ways to add a pop of Anthropologie blue. Let their signature hue be your ‘something blue’ and infuse your wedding with a touch of magic.
Wearing Anthropologie Blue for Your Something Blue
Bridal Gown
For brides seeking to incorporate Anthropologie’s signature hue into their wedding gown, consider a blue sash, ribbon, or belt to cinch the waist, or blue embroidery, beading, or appliqués on the bodice, skirt, or train. Blue lace or chiffon overlays are another elegant option. Brides can also choose a blue petticoat or crinoline to peek out from under an ivory gown for a touch of color with every step down the aisle.
Veil
A cathedral-length veil provides ample canvas for showcasing Anthropologie blue. Brides might choose a veil edged in scalloped blue lace, or one accented with blue satin ribbon, beads, or embroidery along the hem or throughout the body of the veil. For a bolder look, consider a veil made entirely of blue tulle, chiffon, or lace. A birdcage veil dotted with blue sequins or gems around the edge is ideal for brides seeking a vintage-inspired look.
Shoes
From ballet flats to peep-toe pumps to booties, blue shoes are a whimsical way to complete an Anthropologie-inspired bridal ensemble. Brides can also wrap the ankle straps of ivory shoes with blue ribbon or lace for a customized look. For outdoor or beach weddings, blue flip-flops or sandals make a casual, comfortable statement.
Accessories
Blue garters, hair combs, hair pins, sashes, jewelry, handbags, and other accessories offer subtle ways to incorporate Anthropologie’s signature shade into your wedding day look. A blue garter peeking out from under the gown, or blue gemstone jewelry that matches your eyes are charming touches brides are sure to cherish for years to come. With so many options, Anthropologie blue helps make it easy to find your perfect something blue.
Incorporating Anthropologie Blue Into Your Bridal Accessories
To incorporate Anthropologie’s signature shade into your bridal look, consider adding touches of blue to your accessories.
Jewellery
Delicate blue gemstones like aquamarine or blue topaz make stunning additions to bridal jewellery. A pair of blue drop earrings or a blue gemstone necklace paired with a white wedding gown creates a whimsical, stylish look.
Shoes
Blue shoes are a bold yet whimsical choice for a bride seeking to incorporate colour. Navy or cobalt blue heels, sandals, or ballet flats provide a pop of Anthropologie blue under your gown. For a more subtle look, choose shoes with blue accents like bows, straps, or stitching.
Veil or Headpiece
A veil, fascinator, or headband accented with blue flowers, feathers, or gemstones is an easy way to add blue to your bridal style. Look for pieces with blue hydrangea blossoms, peacock feathers, or sapphire Swarovski crystals for an opulent blue statement piece.
Bouquet
Incorporate blue flowers like hydrangeas, delphiniums, cornflowers, or iris into your bridal bouquet. As an alternative, wrap your bouquet in blue ribbon or lace for a simple blue accent. Blue flower petals sprinkled on the aisle or used in table centrepieces also bring the hue into your decor.
Anthropologie blue is a whimsical, stylish choice for a modern bride seeking to make a colourful statement on her wedding day. With the addition of blue accessories and decor, you can achieve an Anthropologie-inspired blue wedding look perfect for a free-spirited bride. By incorporating this signature shade into your jewellery, shoes, veil, or bouquet and extending it to your wedding decor, you create a cohesive stylish blue theme for your special day.
Adding Touches of Anthropologie’s Signature Blue to Your Wedding Decor
Tablescapes and Centerpieces
Incorporate Anthropologie’s signature hue into your reception tables by adding blue accents to tablescapes and centerpieces. Blue glass vases, candle holders or decorative bowls filled with fresh flowers in complementary shades of pink, peach, or yellow would beautifully accent tables. For a cohesive look, wrap table numbers, and menus or place cards with ribbon in Anthropologie’s ‘Cerulean’ or ‘Lagoon’ blue.
Linens
For a bold touch, choose table linens, napkins or chair covers in a vibrant blue shade. Anthropologie’s signature teal, cobalt, or navy would make a dramatic statement. If that’s too much blue for your tastes, opt for white or ivory linens with a blue pattern or trim for a more subtle pop of color.
Stationery
Bring in Anthropologie blue through your wedding stationery, from save-the-dates to programs to thank-you cards. A patterned blue liner or wrap, or a blue grosgrain ribbon tied around each suite of stationery is an easy, elegant way to tie in the color. For a more prominent touch, choose a stationery design featuring blue botanical or watercolor patterns, or have your name or monogram printed in blue ink.
Florals
Ask your florist to include blue blooms in your bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements. Blue thistles, delphiniums, hydrangeas, or iris would be stunning when mixed in with complementary flowers in peach, pink, or yellow. As another option, wrap the stems of your flower arrangements with a blue ribbon or twine for a simple way to bring in Anthropologie’s signature color.
Adding touches of Anthropologie blue through decorative accents, linens, stationery or florals is an effortless way to incorporate ‘something blue’ into your wedding day decor. Combined with a lighter, complementary color palette, these small details can create a cohesive, stylish look that reflects your aesthetic. With so many options for how and where to use the color, you can determine the level of blue that suits you for a customized, memorable wedding style.
