Classic Blue & More Blues

Classic Blue is a deeper shade of blue that can complement a medley of other shades of blue. The world is your oyster and blues are so in. This rich blue offers a vibrant contrast to softer blues and even grays. Cohesive but mismatched bridesmaid dresses in several shades of blue, or blue cutlery and candles, would be a darling way to really make a splash and use this color palette.
