Something Blue…and Green

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue. That old adage really lends itself to being green! After all, Somethings Old and Borrowed are often heirlooms, leaving the Somethings Blue and New.

How can you be eco-friendly and add that Something Blue? The sky (pardon the pun) is the limit! You can go the very simple route by pinning a piece of vintage blue ribbon to the inside of your gown, or you can find your own something blue and start a tradition. We’ve found blue fabric repurposed into shoe clips, vintage embroidered hankies, eco-fabric garters, an organic gown with a blue sash, and vintage jewelry in every cerulean hue!
