The Sweet Tradition of “Something Blue” — And the Perfect Pin to Make It Yours
Weddings are full of time-honored traditions that add a little magic and meaning to the big day. One of the most beloved is the old rhyme: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” It's a poetic nod to love, continuity, and good luck. But let’s be honest—finding that perfect “something blue” that feels authentic (and not like a last-minute afterthought) can be tricky.
That’s where the Blue Butterfly Enamel Pin comes in—a delicate, meaningful, and beautiful way to carry this tradition into your modern wedding day.
A Quick Look at “Something Blue”
The tradition of “something blue” goes back to Victorian England, where blue symbolized purity, fidelity, and love. Brides would often sew a bit of blue fabric into their dresses or garters as a quiet symbol of their hopes for a faithful and lasting marriage.
Over time, the “something blue” has taken on a modern twist. Today, brides look for ways to incorporate it more subtly—something meaningful, personal, and aesthetically on point.
Why the Blue Butterfly?
Butterflies have long been a symbol of transformation, hope, and new beginnings. Pair that with the color blue—a color of calm, trust, and emotional depth—and you have a truly powerful combination.
The Blue Butterfly Enamel Pin brings those ideas together in one tiny, elegant detail. It’s a subtle way to add emotional significance to your wedding look without overpowering your overall style. Think of it as a wearable wish for healing, joy, and trust in the journey ahead.
The Pin Details (Yes, They're That Good)
• Size: ¾-inch – small and subtle, but with enough shimmer to catch the light
• Material: Hard enamel with a polished finish for a luxe, lasting look
• Attachment: Single post with a black rubber pin back (locking upgrade available!)
• Packaging: Mounted on a beautifully designed pin card, perfect for gifting
It’s everything you want in a wedding keepsake—tiny, timeless, and totally gift-worthy.
How to Wear It: From “I Do” to Ever After
What’s lovely about this pin is its versatility. It’s more than just a wedding-day detail—it’s a keepsake that can be worn or displayed for years to come. Here are a few ideas to make it part of your special day:
-
Tucked in the bouquet: A subtle sparkle among the flowers
-
Pinned to your sash or ribbon: A modern take on tradition
-
Hidden in your jacket lining: For a private, meaningful touch only you know about
-
Attached to a handkerchief: For a tear-worthy heirloom moment

Whether you’re the bride, a close friend, or looking for a sweet way to honor the tradition, this pin fits beautifully into any wedding moment.
A Token That Lasts
After the big day, the pin doesn’t get stashed away in a dusty box. It can live on a favorite jacket, a memory board, a clutch, or tucked safely in a jewelry box as a memento of one of life’s most beautiful chapters.
If you’re gifting it to a bride-to-be, it’s a meaningful way to say, “I see you, I love you, and I believe in the beauty ahead.”
