Ah, weddings. The time for over-the-top declarations of love, extravagant floral arrangements, and that one color trend everyone insists you must have. Enter dusty blue. This sophisticated yet subtle shade is turning heads and, let's be honest, saving us from the pink-and-gold themes of yesteryear.
Today we’re looking at the wonderful world of dusty blue wedding themes because apparently, everyone has decided blue is the new black, and we’re here for it. Plus, you need something blue, something borrowed…how does it go again? Well, anyway, here’s something blue!
The Allure of Dusty Blue
Why dusty blue, you ask? Well, aside from it being universally flattering and photographically forgiving, it strikes that perfect balance between classic and contemporary.
It's neither too bold nor too boring—essentially, the Goldilocks of wedding colors. Dusty blue wedding colors evoke a sense of calm and elegance, making it ideal for any wedding, whether you’re tying the knot on a beach or in a grand ballroom.
Suit Up in Style with The Modern Groom
Now, let's talk suits—because dusty blue doesn’t mean you and your wife-to-be can get away with a pair of Levi jeans and some daisy dukes. Not only has The Modern Groom got you covered with suits that match the dusty blue aesthetic, but we’ve also nailed the virtual fitting experience, meaning you can get your suit sorted without leaving the couch. Here are just a few of your options:
Midnight Blue: The Classic Choice
For those who want to stick to a timeless yet modern look, the midnight blue suit is your go-to. It's a deep, rich color that pairs perfectly with dusty blue accents. Imagine the groom standing tall in midnight blue while the bridesmaids twirl around in their ethereal, dusty blue dresses. It's a match made in heaven, much like your relationship (we hope).
Heathered Navy: A Twist on Traditional
If you're feeling a bit adventurous but still want to keep it classy, consider our heathered navy blue suit. This suit adds a textured look that brings depth and character to your wedding ensemble. It's the perfect partner for a dusty blue theme, complementing rather than clashing with the soft hues.
Gray: The Unsung Hero
If the bridal party is all in on dusty blue and you want to stand out as the groom, you could consider a complementary option like gray. The Modern Groom offers both light grey and charcoal grey options, whichever suits your wedding theme the best. Think of it as the supportive best friend to the main color scheme—reliable, understated, and always in style.
Dusty Blue Wedding Decor
Okay, now that the groom is sorted, let’s look at other ways to incorporate this color into your big day without going overboard.
Invitations and Stationery
First impressions matter, so let your guests know they're in for a stylish affair with dusty blue invitations. Incorporate gold or silver lettering to add some shine (if that’s your style). Carry this theme through to your menus, place cards, and thank you notes for a cohesive look.
Table Settings and Centerpieces
Dusty blue table runners, napkins, and chargers can instantly elevate your reception tables. Pair them with white or silver accents for a clean, crisp look. Centerpieces featuring dusty blue flowers like hydrangeas, delphiniums, and even succulents can add life to the room.
Floral Arrangements
Speaking of flowers, they are the crown jewels of wedding decor. Mix dusty blue blooms with white, cream, or blush flowers to create stunning bouquets and arrangements. Eucalyptus and dusty miller are fantastic greenery options that complement the color scheme beautifully.
Bridesmaid Dresses
This one's a no-brainer. Discuss dressing your bridesmaids in dusty blue gowns to create a picture-perfect bridal party. The color is universally flattering and will make your wedding photos pop. Or, just do what your fiancé says because we’re sure she has already had the gowns picked out since seventh grade.
A Dusty Blue Wedding Day
If you want a dusty blue wedding, you’ve got several options at your disposal. With our stellar suit options and some well-thought-out decor choices, your wedding will be anything but basic.
So, embrace the trend, add your unique flair, and get ready to wow your guests. Because if you're going to do this whole wedding thing, you might as well do it right—and in style.
