A Fresh Take on Something Blue
Many brides hide their something blue in a garter or shoe. These clips let you show it off. The white satin blends with bridal styling, while the blue layer and crystal add a subtle flash of colour and sparkle that looks lovely in close up photos.
They are also practical. Bridal hair clips hold back face framing pieces during a windy outdoor ceremony and can be moved to a different spot for the reception.
How to Style Blue and White Bow Clips
For the bride
Tuck a clip just behind one ear in a low bun or at the back of a half up style. It peeks out when you turn your head, which makes for beautiful candid photos.
Bridesmaids and flower girls
Matching clips create a cohesive look across the bridal party and suit every hair length. Blue and white works especially well with navy, dusty blue and white bridesmaid dresses.
Hens parties and bridal showers
Give a pair to the bride to be as a thoughtful gift, or match them across the group for photos.
Everyday and school
Blue and white bows are also perfect with blue school uniforms and summer outfits.
What to Wear With Blue and White Bows
- Bridal: white, ivory and champagne gowns
- Bridesmaids: navy, dusty blue, sky blue or white
- Guests: blue, white or floral prints

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the something blue tradition?
It comes from an old rhyme listing items a bride carries for luck: something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Blue represents love, purity and fidelity.
Can a bride wear hair clips instead of a veil?
Yes. Hair clips are a pretty, practical alternative to a veil, or a lovely addition for the reception.
Are these clips suitable for flower girls?
Yes. They are lightweight and suit all hair types, so they work well for flower girls and junior bridesmaids.
How do I keep a clip secure all day?
Add texture spray first and place the clip over a section that is already pinned or tied.
