Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in your shoe.

For decades now, brides have followed this adage from Victorian tradition. They are showing deference to the symbolism of family connection (something old), success (something new), good luck (something borrowed), and purity (something blue).

Traditionally brides wore a garter trimmed in blue because blue was the color of purity and fidelity in ancient times. Today, brides choose many ways to adorn themselves in blue on their wedding day. Not just undergarments, but shoes, jewelry, sashes, hair pieces all are some of the popular ways brides wear blue.

But blue is a favorite color for wedding invitations as well, and can be used boldly or subtly in all kinds of designs:
