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.

My bridesmaids are wearing tiffany blue knee length dresses with white sashes. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the Mother’s should wear? I know their outfits should complement, but im not sure what color they should wear. Also, any suggestions on how to differentiate the MOH, or is that even necessary?
Thanks!
jessica,
the moh can dress same, similar, or different. you make make subtle changes to the sash color or the bouquet. overall, if you have her wear the same dress, i would have her bouquet be a tad different, an added flower or flower color, bouquet ribbon color. the mothers could wear a deeper shade of blue or a deeper champagne(as long as you are not wearing champagne) she can also choose to wear a classic neutral. whatever she chooses just make sure she feels beautiful, confident, and it looks great with her body and skintone.
*what does a mother wear and wedding ( google search results so you can thumb through tips)
Here is one example of a good Tiffany Blue bridesmaid dress: strapless satin
I actually bought this dress for myself, and it was almost identical to my bridesmaids’ dress except theirs had a slight flare out at the bottom. Also I have found this one which is more casual and great for an outdoor or beach wedding: gathered strapless knit dress
Another example of a sophisticated Tiffany Blue dress that is figure flattering for almost any bridesmaid is ruched knit dress. I’m sure there are more examples out there, but you just have to look. Why have your bridesmaids pay so much for a dress they don’t like or won’t wear again when they can pay just $20 a wear it over and over again. Thats a gift to them in itself.
Tiffany Blue/Aqua Chair Sashes
Hi all, I have 33 tulle chair sashes left (10 out of aqua sparkly tulle and 23 out of tiffany blue nonsparkly tulle). Because I couldn’t find the right shade, we ended up buying fabric and making them ourselves - we mixed and matched. Email me if you are interested: anchik0828@yahoo.com
Perfect for a small wedding!

DO YOU HAVE ANYMORE SATIN CHAIR SASHES?I AM INTERESTED IN BUYING.
Do you know the name of the color of your bridesmaids dresses?
I am celebating My daughters Sweet 15 and after deep thought we narrowed it down to the theme Tiffany and Co. She found a dress and loved it we would need to make a few adjustments but we dont know who the designer is can anyone help us?
It’s an Alfred Angelo dress. You can find more details about this dress and the designer on the knot.com
WE had a party for our daughter and gave away tiffany blue neckties for the guys and faux tiffany blue/teal pearl necklaces for the girls that we stuck inside faux Tiffany & Co looking boxes. I still have necklaces and tiffany blue small favor sized chinese take-out boxes left over if you are interested. email me at shelleymeltzer@gmail.com
Shelley
Do you have pics of the necklaces and boxes? Could you please email them to me at bluebuds1@hotmail.com?
Thanks
Kyra
the designers name is ALFRED ANGELO… I think i might have misspelled his last name. also u can find this dress on ebay for $155.00 If you take time out…
I am pretty sure this is a davids bridal dress
Hey Everyone,
I thought I would share some good tips since I just had my wedding in May. Hobby Lobby pretty much sponsored the whole wedding. They have half off on ribbons, wedding and floral stuff every other week. And if they don’t have all the amount that you want you just go ahead and pay for it, and they will give you a rain check until it comes in. I had to do that on alot of things. We actually got our program paper from there for half off. Also, spray paint will be your best friend in doing projects, and Michaels has the perfect shade of TB called Robins Egg Blue spray paint.
As for chair sashes, efavormar has those and favor boxes and much more if you would like to buy those in your colors. They have table linens, chair covers, and other stuff too if you are interested in those. They are by far the cheapest and have great quality products.
Also if your bridesmaids are penny pinching too, forever21 has tons of tiffany blue dresses for them. I wish I would have done that for my girls because I found a dress that was almost identical to theirs for $20 at http://www.forever21.com versus them buying the $150 one. Their fabulous finds dresses are really cheap. The fab teal satin strapless dress is just $14.50, but doesn’t look it by no means. It was identical to the $150 bridesmaid dress my girls wore!
The bar I used was a plain table with a tiffany blue sheer fabric for the table cloth and on the inside of the fabric I placed white Christmas lights to drape off the sides to give a good visual effect. The bar lighting was a lamp from Target called a silver disc table lamp (just giving the name if you wanna search it). It also comes in black, and its only $20 and gives off plenty of light.
If you are serving alcohol, we used 2 kegs and 16 bottles of wine for 150 people and it was almost all gone. We used cheap $5 wine called Foxhorn Vineyards wine and we used its Chardonnay and White Zinfandel. People actually liked it so that was good for the price.
If you haven’t bought any bridesmaid or groomsmen gifts yet, I got my bridesmaids a pink engraved flask, and my husband bought his boys an engraved pocket knife. We got them off this website that sold great inexpensive gifts. All the flasks I was looking at were $25 and up, and these were $16 a piece including the engraving! The knives were $13 including engraving, but they looked so much more expensive then that! They have tons of other stuff too.
Pink Flask: http://www.rumors.com/princessflask.html
Pocket Knives: http://www.rumors.com/stainless-pocket-knife.html
I made my own tiffany money box, bouquets, favors, and such to save money and get it done the way I wanted it. Do not be fooled into buying those tiffany money boxes that cost so much money. It’s crazy and ridiculous how much of a rip off it is. We just ordered plain 3 tier paper mache box set online, spray painted it TB with the spray paint from Michaels that I talked about earlier, and bought white ribbon to make a bow on the top and cascade the rest down the sides, and cut a hole to fit cards and money in the middle tear. Also we added a glue on Monogram B rhinestone to it, and a big fake diamond ring on the top to give it a little something extra. Much cheaper than buying pre-made ones. Also the bouquets were easy by buying cream hydrangeas, ribbon, rhinestone bouquet inserts, and pins from Hobby Lobby to put together to make those. Centerpieces were also easy if you want instructions for those. Some of these items are also for sale if anyone is interested please contact me at hunterbates@yahoo.com. I am trying to put a website up to put all my wedding pictures up. I have much more ideas but don’t wanna list them all in one setting so please feel free to email me with questions. Congratulations to all you brides by the way!
Oh I forgot a cute idea for a favor box is to go to efavormart and get their personalized 2 piece favor boxes and buy white ribbon to tie around it, but the best part is to go to BulkFoods to buy ring pops in bulk to place inside of it. The kids and adults loved it! A ring in a tiffany ring box that you can eat. I must say these were snatched up very quickly once everyone figured out what was in them. So give a twist on a favor box and give your guests something they will actually enjoy instead of almonds. Also personalized M&M’s are a cute idea. I forgot that we also made the cake stand too if anyone is interested in that. Plus I got rave reviews on the fact I had a kids bar. Not the candy bar because I didn’t want 30 hyper kids at my wedding, but a food bar just for them. Saves you money by not having kids waste food that you paid so much for, so we asked our caterer to make chicken fingers and mac and cheese for the kids. Everyone, especially the parents, were happy to know the kids had something good to eat and didn’t have to hit up McDonalds after the wedding. I could leave comments all day on this wedding stuff.
i just orderd mine! i bought dresses before but i HATED them, they were all i could find. so thank you for that =)
where did you get the boxes for your centerpeices?
your wedding was beautiful!! & so are you!!
My centerpieces were actually those huge trumpet vases with marbles, tiffany blue branches, and hydrangeas. The box is my tiffany card box. My parents bought that online. Just type in paper mache 3 tier box set or something like that and tons of places should pop up. Then you can pick and choose based on price and size to fit what you want and spray paint them with the spray paint from Michael’s (robin egg blue). Thanks for the comments. I’m glad I could help! Just wish I would have gotten one of those dresses for my girls, I’m sure they would have wished that too.
Love the centerpieces were did you purchase them?
Which bridesmaids dresses were you speaking of in forever 21?
Hey I actually made those centerpieces and I am selling them too so if interested email me at hunterbates@yahoo.com for prices and better pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaleybaby As for the dresses, my bridesmaids dresses didn’t come from http://www.forever21.com but the ones that look close to it were called fab teal satin dresses but they might be sold out by now but you can search their dresses to find a color or style you might like. I will search some for you tomorrow and post any suggestions for you.
where did you get your bridesmaid dresses? I love them and it’s just what I am looking for!

Hello aqua brides!! I have seen a lot of questions about David’s Bridal pool. I am using both pool and mermaid from David’s for my girls. I let them each choose their own dress and that’s why we had to mix in both colors. 3 with be in mermaid and 3 in pool. Also by using both colors, I really don’t have to worry about color matching because it can go either way! YAY! Here are some pictures that may possibly help. The David’s Bridal site’s colors are way off on the computer screen. The first dress is pool and the next is mermaid. I also took a picture of one of my boxes from Tiffany’s just to compare colors.
Anyone have any creative ideas on flower girl baskets?
I am posting pictures of some of the items that I have for sale. Email inquiries to: luchielle1@yahoo.com
Also, see a highlight video of our wedding at the following link:

How much of this stuff do you have left over. Where are you located. I love the flower girl baskets and the satin fabric its on
Hi,
My weddingis June 27th and I am looking for crystal cake banding. Does anyone have any leftover or where I can find it for a reasonable price. I need about 30-40 yards.
hi, I bought my crystal cake banding at Hobby Lobby. They have half off sales each week. The one I used was not as thick as the one pictured here but still very stunning. I had diamond banding for my cake.
In case you still need it I found some at http://www.couturecrystals.com/accessories.html they also sell beautiful cake toppers.
Does anyone have any ideas for a small male Thank you gift that would’t be too expensive? I am doing the littleTiffanys box looking Candle for the ladies but I’m stumped on what to do for the guys. Please email me at bluebuds1@hotmail.com.
Thanks!! :)
Maybe, you can get the men some money clips.
We gave the men in our wedding party valets for their home dressers. They were a hit. Things Remembered has them on clearance (well probably after father’s day now) and target also carries them.
All of our wedding party gifts were wrapped in tiffany blue paper with white ribbon and huge bows.
The ladies received tiffany and company jewelry in tiffany and company bags.
Did you order the candles yet? I ordered mine and it come in a pretty little white box but the candle itself is a ugly green. nothing like tiffany blue.
im getting married on june 27th 2009 and i have almost everything. except for my centerpieces. i want to do the boxes with the ribon but i cant find the boxes anywhere!!!! does anyone know where i can get them? the cheaper the better. i have 16 tables to fill!!! thank you so much!
Hello. I have stacked boxes that need to be wrapped. The boxes are perfect as they have lids and are very sturdy. I have discovered a tiffany blue wrapping paper from Nashville Wraps too.
These boxes can be nestled together for shipping. Asking $30 for all of them - they will make at least 25 centerpieces with 3 stacked boxes per each. I will take a photo and send it.
Hope this helps.
Have you sold the boxes to the previous bride if not are they still for sale
I still have them. Please email me at luchielle1@yahoo.com
Thanks
I am definitley interestedm please e-mail me at mimilrenteria@hotmail.com
Wedding card box centerpiece in tiffany blue - ebay
Hey guys I was wondering….Does anyone know if the Davids Bridal pool blue is the same as Tiffany blue?I want to use the pool from davids…but I need to make sure i can decorate with Tiffany blue as wellThanks
tiffany seemed to be not as bright of a blue to me as pool. Pool looks prettier with black in my opinion. But both will go together if you have tiffany table linens and pool dresses. I have seen this done before, if i get pictures i will send them to you.
My colors are tiffany blue and white and I’m using the “pool” color dresses from David’s as well, they seemed to be the closest. I carry a color swatch on me at all times to make sure things match as I’m buying them…all “tiffany blues” are definitely not the same.
David’s Bridal pool is not true tiffany blue. I was crazy about making certain my items were tiffany blue and matched. While it is impossible to make absolutely everything match, I think I came pretty close.
The men’s tuxes were from Men’s Warehouse. They are a match to David’s Bridal’s colors. Well, when we were settling on colors for the tuxes, we were going to use black because the pool was not a match to our girls’ true tiffany blue dresses.
What a Surprise! They were getting in a color called MERMAID in late March/Early April that ended up being a PERFECT MATCH to our previously purchased decor items and the tiffany blue bridesmaids’ dresses.
Go check out David’s new color: MERMAID and tell me what you think.
Have a Good Day : )
brides,
i posted a centerpiece idea on easy centerpieces that would work here too. fill layers of colored sands in glass cylinders then surround with shells, starfish, etc. and votives. also try it on bottom and gently pour clear or tinted water over sand with a floating candle , would be magical

Hey ladies!
I just got married a few weeks ago, and am selling some of my leftover stuff from my aqua/tiffany wedding!
I have 49 clear plastic favor boxes tied with aqua ribbon with Hershey’s kisses inside. (I will take the candy out if you don’t want it), asking $20 for those (I bought the kit to make the boxes for 19.99 for 50, and added the ribbon myself).
I also have 80tiny, tiered boxes with a little post-it note pad in the bottom tier, already assembled, asking $30 for those.
I used silk teal petals scattered on my tables, and I have a gallon size ziploc bag of those ($5), and 76 bubble tubes-$15 (61 already have the ribbon tied on, and 15 do not). I have 12 silver trays ($60) that I used as my centerpieces, with 12 ‘bubble vases’ ($6)to go with them (also already have teal ribbon tied around the neck, and have been washed out). I put a white hydrangea in each one, and scattered aqua pebbles around, which are also for sale for $20.
I am in the Richmond, VA area and I am willing to meet you somewhere to pick up the items, also willing to ship the lighter items (not the pebbles!).
Meg,
Do you have pix of the items? My daughter’s wedding is 7-11-09 @ Claytor Lake Va…her colors are Tiffany and Red.
Thanks
Susan
hi i was wanting to know if you could ship me some of those items…my wedding is june 2010.. im doing an aqua blue theme also…please email me at your earliest convienence thank u
Hi I wanted to know if you sold the boxes with the candy in them yet if not I wanted to purchase them.
Do you still have anything left?
Hi there!
My sister lives in Leesburg, VA, and, being the good MOH that she is, I’m sure she’d pick up whatever I needed :) LoL. I’m interested in the tiered notepads (are they the ones that say “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed…” on them? I saw similar ones on ebay). Also… if you could email me pictures of some of the other things, I may just take it all :) I’m planning an Aug 2010 wedding and want to get a head start and try to save myself some $ in the process.
Let me know!
Christine
Any80slovesong@yahoo.com
Could you let me know if you still have the favor boxes with the candy in them?
Thanks,
