Unique Wedding Ideas Guests Will Never Forget

6. Make the Flower Girl Wear Blue

There is an old English rhyme about brides getting ready for their special day that goes like this; “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe.” Most brides choose a blue piece of jewelry, ribbon, or small accessory to incorporate into their wedding day. The color blue is supposed to symbolize purity, love, and fidelity. However, some people struggle to figure out how to incorporate blue, or skip it all together. Since it symbolizes purity, what could be more pure than your little flower girl?

I love this idea of finding a blue dress for your flower girl to wear. On top of that, a blue dress is more convenient for the family who is purchasing the dress for their daughter, because it can be worn again on other special occasions, or passed down to younger siblings and cousins. I was a flower girl when I was a young, but the dress was very obviously meant for a wedding. It was white, frilly, and had literal flowers sewn into it. I could never wear it again, and it just sits in my parent’s attic.
