The tradition of wearing "something blue" on your wedding day comes from an Old English rhyme: "Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and a Sixpence in your Shoe." Wearing a blue piece—an earring, a ribbon, a ring, etc.—is said to bring the bride good fortune. To help bring you all the luck you need on your big day, we've found some modern "something blue" pieces to incorporate into your ceremony or your outfits on your wedding day. Whether it's a blue robe for pampering or a blue ring box, these chic picks just work.
