In April, I mentioned that my friends Liz and Dave would be tying the knot in Boston. I'm happy to report that the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and the newlyweds are off on their honeymoon. The bride already knew how she'd be wearing her makeup, and her hair was styled in a classic looped bun. As for her nails? She opted for a neutral polish on her fingers, and cleverly in keeping with the traditional, "something borrowed, something blue" theme, she wore a beautiful steely blue shade on her toes.
While she could have opted for a lovely blue shadow or nail polish on her fingers, I have to admit that I was a huge fan of her pedicure choice. Model Agyness Deyn recently wore some bright royal blue polish to complement her funky style, but for a wedding, a more muted version is a great option. Plus, by keeping the more adventurous shade slightly hidden, Liz was able to mix trendy with the traditional and subtle with the bold. Check out my widget for some inspiration.

Aw, cute idea for the "something blue"! My "something blue" was actually part of my dress...the top half of my dress had pale, pale peach and pale, pale blue french knots. But I wish I thought of the nail polish thing!
1I like the China Glaze and Nars
2I did this 13 years ago when I got married!!! My three bridesmaids and I all had blue toenails!!!
3I just bought Rimmel Green with Envy. It's actually a teal color.

That was an extremely unique and classy idea for "something blue"! I still adore my deep blue polish from Chanel, which I still tend to use. How fun that she used such a beautiful color. I, on the other hand, had blue in my garter belt, which is much more traditional. Way to go!
5It was such a great idea!! Glad to hear you did it, too, Doogirl
6Wow what a fantastic idea! =D
7I'm not too huge of a fan of the blue polish - it makes you look like a corpse! To each her own, I suppose...
8I love blue polish!! It compliments my skin tone!!
9great idea love blue
10I am getting married in Hawaii so I am carrying my mom's "Kona Kitchens" cookbook as my something old and my something blue (the title is turquoise).
11My bridesmaids bought me D&G "Light Blue" perfume a few days before the wedding so I'd have something blue... I thought that was such a thoughtful gift! Not to mention that my husband loves the smell.
12Panties, of course.
13My husband & I got married in the goalie crease at a hockey arena (this goes along with all of our courtship & was the PERFECT wedding for us) He is Canadian & I am American & he wore a Team Canada hockey jersey and I wore a Team USA hockey jersey-- so my "something blue" was my dark blue jersey!
