The Aqua Blue Wedding
It might say
beach. It might say Fifth Avenue.
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.
How to Plan 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.

To Jessica!
Where did you find your bridesmaid dresses? They are really cute. Anyone find any cute tea length aqua dresses?
They are from David’s Bridal. The girls’ favorite part was that there were pockets on each side. I had all different shapes and sizes in BM and each of them looked great in it!
Here is the link
Sorry the link didn’t show it is style # 83312 at DB
Hi Jessica, do you know if any of your bridesmaids are parting with their dresses? They look like the exact ones that I’d like. I hope this isn’t a rude question, just figured I’d give it a shot!
Hello Jessica. Did you choose the Pool color from DB for your BM dresses?

Hi everyone,
I’m finally getting married August 7th and I have some aqua items that i’m willing to sell after the wedding. My dress is first. It is a white sleeveless dress that I will wear with a pool sash and veil with a pool border/edge. I am willing to sell all for $220. The dress is size 12. I will post pics soon.
I also have 11 round polyester aqua table cloths and 11 white satin overlays. I’m not sure what condition those will be in but I will do my utmost to have them look as good as new. I’m also making crystal trees, those might be a little harder to ship so local would probably be best. I live in NY by the way.
I have tons more stuff including 5 crystal bouquets that i’m willing to sell so please let me know if anyone is interested. jem.08.07.10@gmail.com
can you PLEAASEE send me pics of your dress?? ANd pics of the crystal bouquets?? Thanks. jcbelton30@gmail.com I’m VERY interested!!

I AM LOOKING FOR AQUA COLOR TABLE RUNNERS….IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE/WEBSITE PLEASE LET ME KNOW….THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.wholesaleweddingchaircovers.com/ you will receive your package within a week!! I ordered twice and they were very prompt!
I have for sale (17) 72″ x 72″ pool satin overlays. They match the ribbon from Jo-Anne’s, Hancock and Wal-Mart perfectly. I bought them used for $12 each and am selling them for $6 each (she paid $20 each). They have a few stains from the original owner but none of my 120 guests noticed and they look better now that we’ve had them cleaned. I also bought turquoise napkins to use flat where an overlay was too big. You can see in the pictures that the turquoise was a little darker but no one noticed. We used turquoise organza overlays at the cake and DJ table that was a good match to either because it was clear. All the turquoise stuff I bought at efavormart. Email me at echo2382@yahoo.com for questions about the overlays. Buyer pays shipping cost too. I will toss in what turquoise items I have left (10 napkins and 1 72” organza overlay) to whoever buys the lot of pool overlays I only paid like $12 for all of it.
I’m interested in the pool overlays and if you have some chair sashes satin I need them as well . Wedding date August 10,2010
Hello Joann, I’m getting married in 2011, if you have any thing left over from your wedding can you email me photos then of whatever your willing to sell. Thanks
If you are interested please email me.
Hello, im getting married august 7, 2010 I need 50 aqua blue organza sashes. If anyone has some for sell could you let me know. Im running out of time. The website that i was going to order from is out of stock. Thank you.
I am having an aqua and red wedding June 2011. Anything in the pool or aqua color for sale I am interested in pics!
I purchased my linens for our pool wedding from Wholesale Wedding Chair Covers their prices are very reasonable and it was the only place I could find pool blue. We did the organza sashes and satin table clothes. I order several samples first to get an idea of the quality and color. Good Luck.
Hi Laura, when you or if you are going to sell any of your linens I am very interested. Please let me know.. Thanks, you can email me directly at msse1991@yahoo.com
Hey! I’m getting married June 18,2011… I am having troubles finding a bridemaid dress the pool color that I like.. any suggestions on where to look???
Da Vinci Bridal, Alfred Angelo, David’s Bridal have the best pool color. Email me at echo2382@yahoo.com if you want to chat about where to getthe best styles.
I’m full of great ideas.
davids bridal has the BEST pool color and awesome selection. plus many companies match their decorations to it so when you order from them you know for sure it matches.
Hey Lindsey, I just got married on June 18th, 2010 and I used the pool color from Davids Bridal, that’s where my girls dresses came from and they were absolutely beautiful, and yes there are alot of stores that have decor that matches that exact pool blue…actually I have that exact same pool blue color organza sashes that I used, which I have them up for sale, I have 250 sashes and I’m selling them at .99 a piece!!! If anyone is interested pls email me at fats3304@aol.com
I am interested in the sashes if you still have them
My wedding was Pool and White. I am selling our table candles. Each table had two sets of 3 pedestal votives with Pool ribbon and one small pearl. The ribbons is an exact match to the David’s Bridal and the Alfred Angelo’s pool shade. I also discovered it matches many shades of aqua and tourqoise. I have 47 of the 6 1/2 inch, 42 of the 7 inch, and 43 of the 7 1/2 inch. We used floating candles in them with the water filled to the ribbon line. Each table also had 2 small votives on the opposite corners of the mirror from the pedestals. It gave the room just the right amount of warmth from the candle glow. We had a little bit of Cinderalls wove through the wedding (he proposed at Disney World) so each table had a slipper with personalized M&M’s tied with the same ribbon.
If you want more info on the candles contact me at judyc61@insightbb.com.
Hi,
I am interested in the ribbons, they look like aqua but u mentioned they are pool ribbon!!our main colour is aqua so am really interested in them.thanks!
I am interested in your decorations. Do you still have the mirrors and slippers also or just the votives?
Ashley, all the candles holders have sold but I do have the mirrors. There are 23 of them. Send me an email if interested. The slippers were favors so most of them went home with our guests. I think I still 12-15 of them on hand. I can double check that if you are interested.
Hi, Do you still have any mirrors left, and if so, how much? I need 12 if available (=
Okay this may sound stupid, but can someone tell me if pool blue & tiffany blue are the ame colors, were can I get a swatch for the tiffany blue. Thanks, lost with colors
Pool is the closest color to Tiffany blue wedding you can find. Tiffany blue is lighter than pool, and I found out, very hard to match. My BM dresses were tiffany blue, but all my decorations were pool becuase thats I could find. Email me with any questions or if you want to see what I have for sale. echo2382@yahoo.com.
Hi Elizabeth,
I am getting married July 30, 2010 and my girls are wearing a dress by Bill Levkoff style number 384 in Glacier.. The color swatch looks green-blue but when the dress came in the color is pretty close to tiffany blue.. All my girls love love the color. I am soo happy I went with this dress and color> Hope this helps.
Thanks Jo. My wedding was June 10th and my dresses were Tiffany Blue and were hand made by my mom. We only used pool in the reception area, but it turned out amazing even with mix and match colors.
I am getting married Aug 21, 2010. My colors are pool, white & black. I am interested in selling my wedding pieces after the big day if anyone is interested please let me know. There are centerpieces, ribbons, silk lit rose runner, bouquests, ceremony lit arch, toole, etc.
