Reasons to Choose Classic Blue for Weddings

As the saying goes, you’ll want to choose “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” to bring good luck for your wedding day. But how did these ideas begin? This Old English rhyme listed these items because something old connects you to the past while something new speaks to the optimism of the future. Something borrowed brings happiness, and something blue represents purity, love, and fidelity. This season, instead of finding a small bit of blue to tuck away somewhere, put it on display with Classic Blue in your wedding and give a deep, meaningful nod to tradition in a new way.
