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.

Hello All I am currently looking for some Tiffany Blue wedding pieces from favors to dressese. I am currently deployed and trying to plan a wedding from Afghanistan. So you can imagine the pain I’m going through oH did I mentrion that the wedding is 5th of September 2009. SO any direction that you can offer would be very helpful. mekenyada2000@yahoo.com
Kenyada,
I’m not sure how large your wedding is going to be, but I have some favors already assembled that I am trying to get rid of- see my other comment with photos, or I can email you some!
how much are you renting these things out for. My wedding is july 10 2010
I am getting married September 5, 2009 and my color is pool. We don’t want the guys to wear tuxes but we’re unsure of short sleeve, long sleeve, kakhi or black pants etc… Anyone have some ideas?
Melissa,
I have 12 men’s tiffany blue neckties left if you would like them. email me at shelleymeltzer@gmail.com
We are going with the pool/tiffany blue as well. The men are wearing light tan linen suits. We found a great deal at Kohl’s. There is also a site that offers custom linen clothes (search custom linen pants). Hope this helps. Good luck with your wedding!
Thanks Kristin. I’ll check into it. Good luck with your wedding as well!
melissa, it is really a matter of taste. i personally love the untucked beach attire look, short sleeve, khaki pant. it depends on the style of your wedding. i would do this: casual=short sleeve,khaki pants more elegant=black pants and long sleeve. i would get some suggestions fromthe guys though as far as comfort.
Stacy & Jennifer, thank you very much. The casual khaki, short sleeve idea is what I was thinking as well. I’m checking with the guys and letting them decide so this should be interesting. Thank you for your help.
Melissa,
We just went to a wedding where the grooms-men wore nice khaki shorts and button down shirts. It actually looked nice and being 105 degrees it was the perfect attire.
jennifer,
would love to see some pics from the wedding if you could post a few!!

I have about 45 left with and without white ribbons if you would like them. Email me directly at shelleymeltzer at gmail.com
Hi. I have recently had a wedding and used tiffany blue 2×2 boxes and added alot of “elegance” to them. I tied them with white double-faced satin ribbbon and tied rings to the outside of them. I filled them with silver hershey kisses wrapped in touile (spelling) and ribbon. I will post a picture for you to see.
I have a minimum of 50, two-piece boxes and plenty of the white ribbon left over to sell along with the touile (spelling), kisses, and the rings. The touile is crisp white, and never opened.
Let me know your thoughts after seeing the pictures that I post (will be tomorrow - Sunday).
Thanks and Best Wishes!

There is a person on ebay that has aqua plates and napkins in their store called sweet creations…you could try them possibly. Blue Plates, ebay (scroll down)
Also Paperstyle has some that are square - square blue plates at paperstyle

I am doing a pool blue and white wedding as well! This may be an obvious question…butttt is pool blue, aqua and tiffany blue the same?!
I’m having a hard time figuring out what to do for center pieces and what. We are keeping our wedding pretty budgeted.
ashley, no these colors have a different tone to them. i have found that some items online show the colors to look the same though, so you have to make sure. what formality is your wedding? the centerpieces will need to go well with everything.
Stacey-
I have the same question as Ashley. My colors are going to be aqua and chocolate but when I google anything in aqua tiffany blue shows up. If I use both colors will you be able to tell? A friend of mine just had a wedding and her colors were watermelon and brown and she said she used a couple different pinks and I couldn’t tell but I didn’t know if you could tell more with a blue. Please HELP! Email me directly if you could at britni.mariee@gmail.com thank you soooo much.
