Hey Lovelies! We’re pretty sure you know the old adage… Something old… something new… Well let us just say that we love,love, love everything about the blue hour of the day, when the light cascades so gorgeously over the Coast and citrine candle flames make a reception look dreamy. BUT you don’t have to wait till that time for your big day to have something blue.
The wonderful tradition that started with the inevitable Victorians who wished every single detail to carry some sort of symbolism still stands strong. To them, blue was an indicator of elevated social standing (think of the Bridgertons) so they added this lovely colour vignette to I do’s. Today we’ve rounded up some lovely ideas for YOUR something blue, so we”ll let you embrace it and get inpired!
Paper suites, elegant invites, save the dates, menus and escort cards look ah-mazing in blues of all shades. If you’re in love with the hue, your wedding stationery is probably the first one to think about fusing with lovely blue tones. Are we right?
And then it’s over to the wedding tablescape, the napkins, the dinnerware, but also the furniture around your venue (hello Amalfi Coast tiled cocktail bar! and matching stools!) can don the wow effect in blues! Yas baby!
Is this an inspiration post or a non-brainer? You’re very right to ask so, because blue wedding flowers are a perennial favorite, even if your wedding has nothing to do with the hue itself as a theme. Okay, okay, moving on to the next!
Because what is a bride without a squad and a M.O.B. celebrating her in blue? Lovely tonals and stark blues, gorgeous silky prints, jacket inserts and stunning taffetas! Oh! We’re all up for them and more!
If you ask us there aren’t enough blue foods out there. Blue caviar is definitely a wedding cocktail hour thought. But so are the signature Amalfi Coast gin, the Amalfi Coast tile-patterned bisquits, super-tasty After Midnight popsicles (you can find out about them here) and of course, your cake! If you however are thinking blue curacao cocktails we’re all happy to serve them at your reception!

Speak to us about a blue wedding gown and we’re sold! Our brides are such taste-makers and we’re quite certain that doning a ruffled or designer wedding dress in blue is not far from their goals!
Need we say that guest gifting can be as blue as you llike? Cue in the waves underneath your feet in Ravello, the Blue Grotto colorations, the Borgo Sant Andrea aesthetics, or that Dolce & Gabbana scent you’re so in love with, and you can draw inspiration about all of them!

But who said you have to wear ALL blue at your wedding. Just a nod may be enough for you. So how about a stunner pair of earrings, these Loeffler Randal kicks that make us swoon, a signature bouquet holder with your personal Crest, or a fancy hairpiece to channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw? Wow!
Sometimes it’s the tiny details that make a statement! The cutest Marc Jacobs Blue Daisy inspired tips. Or perhaps you’re the Siren tying the knot at La Sirenuse and wish to nod at your favourite Hollywood filmset venue. We’ll applaud for your blue scent, your delicate eyeshadow, and that perfect bow!
Not a Something blue wedding fan? No biggie! You can always sport this perennially chic color for your Pre-Wedding! These babes right here did it in total style! Bravissimo Ragazzi!
And let’s not forget the Groom and His Squad who embrace blue in the summer giving us all the “wink-wink”s to Love it! Gents, you rocked your Blue Wedding Style.
Which means… if something blue is your goal but you don’t wish to go ALL blue, just a tad will do… and if there’s more you need, be it blue or any other hue… LA CALLA is here for you !! (hey, it rhymes!)
Love,
Laura & Marianna
