Luck aside, blue's true success lies in its adaptability - the multitude of shades can provide strong pops of colour where necessary, or alternatively, act as a soft cohesive tie between wedding elements.
The stronger versions of blue, such as royal blue or aqua, speak volumes when used sparingly - think a deep blue ribbon set against a crisp white chair cover, or a thick bouquet of beautifully blue hydrangeas.
Bright blue can also be tied into current wedding fashion trends - a sneaky glimpse of a bright blue shoe beneath a dress can make a fun and unexpected statement.

However, if strong colour isn't your thing, softer blues provide a delicate colour alternative. Powder blues shine against white, the fresh colour combination ideal for invitations, place cards and accessories.
Soft blues can also pair with dove grey, pastel, citrus or latte colours seamlessly, a modern version of an otherwise classic shade. Lighter blues are also a favourite for bridesmaids dresses and brides have been known to wrap a soft blue ribbon around the waist of their gown for a touch of difference.
