It was only one part of a well-executed and beautiful Tiffany blue wedding theme. In addition to the Tiffany gift box wedding cake, other touches of Tiffany blue in the wedding included special dyed-to-match tablecloths, chair covers and carpeting. But creating a blue Tiffany theme wedding doesn't need to involve custom dyeing. There are many ways to bring the color and theme into your wedding plans. Tiffany has been the hallmark of elegance and luxury for decades, and you can bring that elegance to your wedding day. Start with the invitations. Add a dash of Tiffany blue to some of the more modern invitation styles with edgings or ribbons in the pretty robin's egg blue. A particularly fresh idea is a ribbon wrapped petal design for the invitation. To recreate it yourself, start with a perfect square of high-quality linen paper. Place the invitation in the center of the paper diagonally. Fold each of the four corners in over the invitation card so that they meet at the center. Wrap it with a Tiffany blue satin ribbon, knotting just at the point where the four corners meet, and arranging the ends flat against the paper. Seal it with an embossed silver foil sticker. Slip the entire assembled invitation into the outer envelope and address. Choose wedding flowers for bouquets and centerpieces in creamy pale whites and pinks that will be the perfect counterpoint for blue and silver ribbons. Whether you choose a frilly nosegay with trailing ribbons or carry a single calla lily with a wide satin bow, soft baby colors are the perfect foil for the bright robin's egg blue. The most popular Tiffany blue themes match the clear color with baby colors and pretty pastels, but there are quite a few other choices. Here are some other color ideas that will go well with a Tiffany blue wedding: For a more dramatic, striking decor, match up the Tiffany blue with shiny black and silver. Go with a formal theme for this - pure elegance with sleek centerpieces. Skip the flowers and float balloons at each table - black, white and Tiffany blue. Deep, rich jewel tones are a wonderful accent to the bright sky blue of Tiffany boxes. Try a shimmering satin in burgundy, or a rich, deep emerald. For a more lighthearted look, choose jellybean green and white to set off the aqua. Play it out with favors of Lucite gift boxes filled with JellyBelly jellybeans in honeydew and berry, all wrapped up with a Tiffany blue satin bow. Create a backdrop for white flowers and blue ribbons with chocolate brown tablecloths. Fill Tiffany blue round bandboxes with chocolates, and top with tulle-wrapped Jordan almonds in blue and white. With a little ingenuity, you can wrap up a blue Tiffany theme wedding with elegance and style befitting royalty.
