For a more dramatic effect, consider a floral arch adorned with cascading blue blooms, creating a romantic and Instagram-worthy focal point for your ceremony or sweetheart table.

Coastal-Inspired Attire for the Wedding Party

Nothing says luxurious coastal wedding like a blue color palette. Make your “something blue” stand out with sky blue, periwinkle or cobalt bridesmaid dresses or navy groomsmen suits. Keep it subtle with jewelry, hair accessories, pocket squares, or even socks – the smallest touches contribute to a cohesive and polished look for your wedding party!

Signature Cocktails 

The signature cocktail trend is here to stay – so why not make yours the “something blue?” Consider having your bartenders craft a Blueberry Mojito or Blue Hawaiian or opt for an elegant glass of champagne garnished with a blueberry.
