As young girls, we grew up hearing �Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue.� Well, that something blue will be one of the new trends in 2012 for brides. Bright and bold Cobalt blue will be seen more at weddings in the flowers, bridesmaids� dresses, brides� Christian Louboutin shoes and especially stunningly resplendant eye shadows.
At a recent bridal photo shoot, I decided to play with a L�OREAL HIP DUO blue eye shadow named Forgiven that can be used in a more smoky way. Remember when wearing a strong eye, you should keep the lip color very light and I went with NYX Cosmetics Diamond Sparkle lipstick in Beige Sparkle. There are many brands offering various shades of brilliant blue eyeshadows to achieve a smoky blue eye on your wedding day. Here's a cheat sheet to some of my favorite shades of blues that you can select from.  |

So brides, don't stress because your something blue doesn�t have to be a family heirloom, a gift from your mom, or a hidden garter anymore. It can be glamxuriously worn down the aisle. What was your something blue on your wedding day?
