The Aqua Blue Wedding
Either way, the aqua blue wedding (often paired with the most classic of supporting acts, like silver, pearls and creamy roses) is a feast for the imagination ... and the eyes.
Pulling off Your Own Aqua Blue Wedding
Plenty of aqua brides stick to their beloved blue, offset with lots of crisp white and crystal. But many brides accent with more colors. Popular uptown picks include chocolate brown, platinum and soft pastel pink. Beachier combinations include orange, fuchsia or yellow. Fearless brides even pair aqua with red!
This look offers so many choices, you just need to lay claim to yours. Decide whether to "spread the wealth" with faux pearls and seashells, or swarovski crystals and platinum accents, or seashells or giant white ostrich feathers — or some other direction that's all your own.
Aqua Blue and Crystal
If you're a crystal bride, you'll sparkle in a gown with a bodice lightly embroidered with Swarovski crystals, and tuck a crystal tiara in your updo. Then, thrill your bridesmaids with crystal hair pins or combs. Plus, place glimmering picks in your floral bouquet, or skip the blooms and bear an all-Swarovski heirloom crystal bouquet down the aisle.Having a tent wedding? Line the marquee roof with string lights, hang clear crystal chandeliers from the center, and prop up more crystal in the form of grand candelabras topping Corinthian columns.
Then, look into the new pintucked linens with subtle metallic thread, and draw on crystal-studded placecard frames to guide your guests to their seats. Top off your cake with another tiara, circling a sweet dome of cream-colored roses.

Aqua and Platinum
Imagine crisp white roses peeking out of silver trumpet vases. Sleek silver candlesticks keep the look going, with delicate white rose petals scattered at the base. A silver monogram sets off the top of your cake. Brushed silver frames announce each table number and guest seat.
Guests tuck into a delectable meal over silver chargers, after oohing and ahhing over the generous favor box that graced their plate. While you finished up with your photos, they'd enjoyed a signature cocktail made with Blue Curacao and a jigger of pineapple juice, gussied up even more with a bright blue sugar rim.
Your gifts to your bridesmaids? Sterling-silver pendants ... and timeless silver cufflinks for the guys.
Aqua Hits the Beach
Aqua's a favorite color of beach-bound brides everywhere. Don't be afraid to pair aqua with eye-popping colors like fuchsia or coral, aubergine or pale yellow. For flowers, start with white or fuchsia orchids and super-fluffy peonies. Want to go a little wilder? How about coral roses and Pincushion Proteas, or fuchsia gloriosas.
Aqua Goes to Paris
Take this flamboyant theme (perfect for bridal showers, too) for a spin by arranging giant ostrich feathers in tall Eiffel vases and scattering marabou feathers plus rose petals down your tables. The perfect boutonniére: a white rose, a few marabou feathers and a shiny aqua ribbon. Trés chic!More Aqua Tips for Any Bride
A classic treatment of aqua calls for a classic flower. It's easy to lose your heart to roses in white, blush or even peach. For an elegant centerpiece, go for paveed roses arranged side-by-side in aqua wooden boxes. Or place simple posies of white and blush roses in square glass cylinders, tying them off with a blue satin ribbon.A white and aqua candy buffet also makes a stylish statement. Try silver Hershey's kisses, blue Jordan almonds, and white amorini and conversation hearts.

Aqua Attire
David's Bridal has made suiting up for aqua easy (look for "Pool"). Popular combos for bridesmaids (again!) include ivory, pink and chocolate brown in some combination with aqua.
It bears repeating, though: aqua can be overpowering in large doses, unless you lighten it up with a splash of white. The white crinolines shown above are one gorgeous way of breaking up the color block of your bridesmaids' gowns.
Another option: confine aqua to smaller canvases, like sashes, vests, or table overlays.
Speaking of vests, the guys will look sharp in black tuxes with aqua blue ties. Look into those chocolate brown tuxedos too, which make a visually eye-popping match for chocolate brown/aqua blue bridesmaids.

Tiffany Wedding Decor Help!
Hey, I am having a Tiffany Blue themed wedding in July 2010 and was looking for some ideas! First I am looking for blue boxes for centerpieces….probably about 10″. Also any other decor linens, sashes, card boxes for cheap or that they want to sell, please let me know!
Thanks!!
Bethany
hi everyone… m getting married on oct ‘10, i wanna ask ur opions on what would be the perfect color match for aqua blue… lemon yellow or silver… please help me
I am doing to aqua with the brown for my wedding. Brown tuxes and the girls dresses are aqua colored.
definitely silver, you want the aqua blue to be the main pop of color and lemon yellow wouldn’t allow it to be the center of attention as much as the silver would
I used tiffany blue, silver and white. It was elegant and beautiful. I tried other colors like coral, lemon, jade, red, fushia, lavendar - none of them worked. I am very happy about my choice.
Good Luck!
can any one tell me a good place to find matching tiffany blue bridesmaid and grooms men wear- the davids bridal pool blue look very light blue to me on the website ( it could look more blue green in stores) i want to match the color so it doesnt clash toghether- and does anyone have any ideas on a vintage breakfast at tiffanys style wedding ( on a budget lol)
Hey Everyone,
A while back I decided to post all of my ideas I used at my Tiffany Blue wedding (which was in May) and got a huge response from everyone, so I decided to post the ideas again for the new upcoming brides to be. I am just trying to help, so please do not critique me. This is more for the brides that are DIY and on a budget like I was.
Few Ideas for the Dresses and Such:
For BM Dresses I wish I would have researched more. My girls bought dresses that I picked out, but when they came in I didn’t like them, so I had to have a seamstress alter it. But I wish I would have went to Forever21 earlier because they had Fabulous Find dresses that were called jade satin strapless dress and these dresses were the perfect shade of Tiffany Blue and only $15!!!! So look at their website, now that it is getting closer to spring to see these dresses. Also, I found bridal heels at Rack Room Shoes the other day that were just $20 (silver with rhinestones).
Few Ideas for the Ceremony:
Hobby Lobby pretty much sponsored my wedding because all the floral and centerpieces and such came from there. Also this site called efavormart was the cheapest place for chair sashes, paper lanterns, etc… I got blue and cream silk hydrangeas from Hobby Lobby for 50% off and used these in the centerpieces and arrangements.
Reception Ideas:
Have a menu just for kids that is very simple. This causes less waste of your good food and lower cost in catering. I had just mac and cheese and chicken fingers and not a single child complained LOL. Also I ordered ringpops from bulkfoods to put inside the favor boxes. I thought it was a cute idea to have a ring in a ring box. It was a hit!
I made my centerpieces from hydrangeas, trumpet vase, mirrors, tiffanyblue branches (spraypainted that color with Robin’s Egg Blue Spray Paint from Michael’s), and marbles. All purchased at Hobby Lobby.
For more ideas check out my flickr site at KaleyBaby. I have loads of pics on that site. I also have an idea for tiffany blue cake truffles for a cute bridal shower and for invitations. Please research a lot for wedding products, especially online because I bought so many things from online stores you have never heard of.
Well hope this helps you guys!

Ladies,
I am getting married on Aug. 07, 2010. I want my color to be pool blue. I need another color to go with pool blue. I do NOT want to use chocolate brown. Can anyone one give any suggestions? Also, where can I find everything for my wedding on a budget? My wedding will be held overlooking the beach, so I’m using the beach theme. My email address is tbeckymartin@yahoo.com
YOU COULD ALWAYS TRY WATERMELON FOR YOUR OTHER COLOR. I KNOW DAVID’S BRIDAL HAS IT. ALSO CHECK CRAIG’S LIST FOR WEDDING THINGS. GOOD LUCK
I am not using brown either… We are doing a fushia pink with it .. with an accent of black to things with the main color being pool blue
Tiffany blue and red is stunning.
https://www.nycityweddings.com/chat/topic-604986-1.html
You could also just use tiffany blue and pair it with white and/or ivory. That’s what we are doing - and everything has been placed together very nicely so far. Wedding is next weekend, so we’ll see. :)
i am also doing tiffany blue and white… with silver… are u selling any of your wedding stuff? what kind of centerpieces are you using?
I was married in May. It was quite stunning and elegant. I used Tiffany Blue, Diamond White, and Platnium. I have items left over for sale and will sell them for reasonable prices. I will post a listing. You can view my wedding at: http://www.utube.com in the search box type in ericka and darrick. Our wedding is there as is our engagement photos. I also have pictures of all items if you would like to discuss any of them. My direct email address is: luchielle1@yahoo.com Thanks!
A peach color looks great too!
You could try like a bright purple or fushia. that is really pretty
I am using light pink and sunshine yellow with the pool blue!! It is really cute together. My flowers are pink and white gerber daisies with yellow roses.
that sounds so cute together, do you have a picture of it all put together?
I might could pull out from some where….I am not getting married until april 10th. but I can try to take a picture of something for you…what is your email and I will send you a picture.
katiemarie67@hotmail.com is my email addy. thanks so much i would appreciate it
For those of you who are still looking for chair sashes, etc.
I just got my chair sashes in and they match David’s Bridal pool EXACTLY. I bought the satin sashes from http://www.wholesaleweddingchaircovers.com. Pretty fast shipping, too! I ordered them on Friday and they were shipped to me on Wednesday.
Here is a picture to compare the colors. The picture doesn’t really do it justice, but the colors are EXACTLY the same. I don’t know how they managed to pull it off, but I am SO glad I bought them!
Has anyone had any luck finding pool/tiffany dinner napkins anywhere cheap? I found some cloth ones online but they were $1.00 each, which I know is a good deal, but I dont want to spend $150 on napkins…haha. Looking to find them in bulk?.?.?.
100 personalized luncheon napkins for $20.00.
“Aqua” matches the pool color and is more of a greenish/pool color. “Robins Egg” is more of a bright blue/turquoise color.
We ordered both to see the color difference.
Hope this helps!
Hey thanks Meg! Do you have the website where you ordered these? It didnt show up in the comment! Thanks again!!!
Oh, sorry! I thought I included the link.
Here you go-
wedding napkins
Awesome! Thanks again Meg!!!!
Hey girls,
I just found some wrapping paper online finally!!! If you were looking for some here is the link of what I found! Enjoy– aqua blue tissue
Jennifer,
One more thing, did your guys JUST wear the shirt and tie? Is that what your hubby wore too or did he wear a tux? I ask because we are debating on the guys wearing the tux jackets or not since the wedding is August now…. do you by chance have a picture of what your guys looked like for an idea for me? Thanks!!!!
Hi everyone I need some help. Does anyone know where I can purchase glass cylinder vases in three different sizes in bulk? I would like to uses them as center pieces for my tables but I don’t know where to get them.
Hey! This is where I got mine from. My cousin told me about the store having a site and you can buy them in bulks of 6 and 12. I ordered mine from here and they look just as nice as ones that you pay $5-$25 for in other stores. Good luck!
http://www.dollartree.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&keyword=Vases
Thanks for the information. I did look and I think I will be ordering some but do you know if they have more than one size? I only saw 7″ available.
I know that they have a 9.5″ vase as well on there thats just like it only it has an overlay top. I went to our local store and found a 5″ one as well but I did notice that they dont have those as bulks on the website. If you have a local Dollar Tree in your area, you may be able to find those as well. If not, you can let me know how many of the smaller ones you would need and I can always go to our store and see if they have them in stock still. I can just buy them and you can pay me for them and ship them to you. Always an idea :)
You can find the set of three on Save on Crafts.
Do you live in NYC? If so, you could save even more if you went down into the city and purchased them.

I am having a Tiffany Blue themed wedding in June and was wondering what designers make a Tiffany blue colored bridesmaid dress? I have been looking and most look like light blue instead of “pool”. I was also looking for cheap Tiffany shaped favor boxes? Anyone have any help?
Hey Whitney,
I am having a Pool Blue wedding and I bought my favor boxes off ebay. They arent 100% a match but they are like 90%-95% matchable. I hear that Pool Blue is the exact match to Tiffany Blue on this site so they may be what you are looking for as well. I attached a link of what I bought so you have an idea of what I am using. Hope this helps and good luck with the planning!!!
Hi Cherlyn,
i was on this site a a few wks ago and saw you had a flower girl dress posted for sale. i was just wondering if it was still available, and if so for how much??? thanks a bunch
Hey Trish,
Yes I still have the flower girl dress that is a size 2T in US. We paid close to $70.00 for this after tax. Asking $40.00 since it never was worn. Still has tags on it. It would fit perfectly in a size Medium Flat Rate Priority box. With Delivery Confirmation added so that it can be tracked it would cost $11.05 to ship in the USA. If you are still interested in it you can write back on here or email me directly at cherrie2oo4@fuse.net I uploaded the pictures on here again so that you can click on them to view larger images. Thanks!
Whitney,
Go to your nearest David’s Bridal and they have the color pool blue. You can also visit their website. This a picture of the dresses at david’s
I have a new wedding dress for sale. I just tried it on, but it is too small. It is a size 1. If you are interested, please let me know.

I am looking for pool blue mens dress dress shirts for the ushers to wear? does anyone have any ideas on where to find pool dress shirts and a cute tie to go with them? I was not wanting to have them wear tux to save money.
Thanks
Kendra
Kendra,
If you scroll on down on this page you will see a picture of a shirt and tie set that I have for sale. If you like that, then The shirts came from a small little privately owned suit shop in latonia ky. But… the brand name is Alexander Julian and its under their Dress Shirt & Hand Made Tie Collection. You could probably search for them or search for a local store near you that sells their brand to find them. Good Luck they are really cute in person!
thank you so much for the help!!!

Hey girls. Alot of you are asking about buying things cheap and where to find them. I have purchased ALOT of my wedding items from a website called BravoBride check it out! It has literally everything you could want to look for in a wedding. Its strickly for wedding items and you can buy and sell things on there. Good luck! :)
I need help! I have ordered paper lanterns in 3 different shades of blue, ranging from robin’s egg to turquiose, and none of them match the tiffany (pool) blue I am using in my wedding…does anyone know where I can find this exact color in paper lanterns, or is perhaps selling some? Thanks!
i am doing a pool blue and brown wedding also. on a budget, and would like to know if any of you ladies would know a cute centerpiece. my wedding is in may 2010.
Katie,
* here are some pics
Katie,
I am sorry that post is for Yawstaire.
Katie,
I didn’t know the theme/style/formal,semiformal,casual? simple glass vases or containers covered in fabric with the contrsting ribbon around the base would be cute. Another idea is to buy tiered stands and have your favors double as centerpieces. Or cupcake stands. One idea that is cute is candy centerpieces.
The idea I think I’m going with for a simple blue and brown wedding is this…Didn’t want to go too crazy with the flowers so I am keeping it simple. A pool colored runner going down the middle of the table with small skinny vases with prolly 2 blue daisy’s and 1 white one. A brown ribbon tied around the vases. Then some sort of brown bowl filled with hershey kisses. Then white votive candles in the mix surrounding it… sound cute or not?? lol
I’m looking for aqua/turquoise high heels for my wedding, any suggestions?

Wow…this site has been so helpful. Tiffany Blue and chocolate seems to be a popular color right now. I just learned that my fiancee will be home from a special ops mission for just two weeks and we have a small window of opportunity to get married before he leaves for Korea. So, here goes…I am doing the unthinkable, planning a wedding in less than 6 weeks. I want to put my girls in chocolate dresses and need to throw in the Tiffany blue. I bought my dress today from Alfred Angelos and need help ladies. Anyone still have any items for sale due to time and budget constraints?? Help!!
