Dress ideas

A bride's dress for a wedding in turquoise shades can be chosen in classic white or in any shade from the turquoise palette - from azure to pale blue. An alternative option is a spectacular ombre dress with a smooth transition from white to turquoise.

For a white dress, choose jewelry and accessories in turquoise shades, and for a turquoise dress, choose white or shades of a harmonizing palette.

To complement the magnetic and sophisticated image of the bride, use:

chiffon enveloping the shoulders;
a necklace as a decorative element of a dress (for example, the back);
bolero jacket;
“butterfly wings” closing on the back as a fastener;
rhinestones;
thin straps;
cascading beads on the shoulders;
knot on the back;
a huge bow that turns into a train;
crystal threads.

You can create a small cutout or stone pattern on the back, layer lace on the dress, or complete the look with lace sleeves, bows or beads on the shoulders.
More daring options include a huge cut-out skirt, a dress with a completely bare back, a corset with ties and lace. Colored details on the dress, if any, should be combined with the overall palette.

with a train;
lush;
A-line.

Makeup and manicure

For stunning eye makeup, you can use turquoise eyeshadow in combination with the other shades listed above.

Turquoise paired with black or brown pencil/eyeshadow will look dazzling and add a touch of the East to your look.

Important! You should not get carried away with cool shades in eye makeup, so as not to create the effect of bruises under the eyes.

Be careful when pairing blue eyeshadow with white skin and black hair to avoid looking like a bride from a Tim Burton movie. As a last resort, dilute this makeup with blush and pink lipstick.

Instead of turquoise, you can use other colors from the general wedding palette for eye makeup, emphasizing the color of the eyes.

For a dazzling look, use shadows:

shiny;
silver;
gold;
rose gold;
bronze;
copper.

For a more subtle make-up:

pale pink;
light purple;
light gray shades.

Black, brown or gray shadows shaded at the corner of the eyelid, black eyeliner or arrows in the shape of the eyes are a classic win-win option.

Bright eye makeup should not be combined with too flashy lipstick or lip gloss - nude, cream, soft pink, coral shades are ideal.

You should not make a mask out of foundation - the skin should look natural, clean and smooth. You can highlight your cheekbones with bronzer and your cheeks with blush. You should not overdo it with highlighter, so as not to create the effect of oily skin - the effect of a slight glow from the inside will be enough.

It is advisable to choose a manicure to match the makeup - the image should be solid and complete. You can make a white and turquoise ombre, use rhinestones, appliqués, stickers, patterns, drawings. But you shouldn’t decorate all your fingers like this - an original pattern or appliqué on one or two fingers is enough to make your manicure look sophisticated and elegant.

Hairstyles

For a turquoise wedding, both perfectly smooth formal hairstyles and romantic casual hairstyles (for example, for a beach style) are suitable:

ringlets or curls;
braided curls;
collected braids;
bunches;
in retro style;
in Greek style.

For elegant hair accessories, choose one type of jewelry:

hairpins;
ribbons;
headbands;
tiku;
decorative hoops;
rhinestones;
wreaths;
tiaras;
feathers;
artificial and fresh flowers;
veil;
veil;
bows.

The bride's bouquet

Choose a composition of painted peonies, chrysanthemums, orchids. Unpainted flowers include forget-me-nots, cornflowers, delphiniums, blue hydrangeas, white roses or wildflowers.

Idea! Tie the bouquet with a turquoise ribbon or add beads.

The original version is an artificial bouquet of:

turquoise sweets;
vintage brooches;
beads;
fabric flowers;
catchy ribbons.

Where will turquoise be especially relevant?

Decorating a wedding in turquoise does not mean filling the entire surrounding space with it. You need to be able to complement the design design so that a touch of uniqueness appears. Particularly aesthetically pleasing are inclusions of this shade in dishes, vases, floor coverings, walls, tablecloths, and design elements. After all, natural turquoise is not a smoothly colored stone. This is a semi-precious mineral that has a lot of impurities.

Turquoise on newlyweds' suits

The bride's outfit may contain turquoise color on shoes, headdress, and accessories. Particularly eccentric natures go for an all-turquoise dress. Then it is better to combine it with white jewelry. It is harmonious if the groom’s outfit also contains a similar touch (for example, a handkerchief from a breast pocket, a tie, a bow tie).

Natural turquoise has many shades: from faded green to sky blue. When choosing a color scheme to decorate a wedding ceremony, you can use any of them, the main thing is that the shade is in harmony with the surroundings.

Embroidery with turquoise threads on a white or pastel dress looks very beautiful at such a wedding. This is a sign of good taste and originality. Such a delicate combination will preserve the snow-whiteness of the bride’s outfit and give it unsurpassed chic.

A bride's bouquet, composed with flowers of such a delicate shade, will be in place. The turquoise pitkernia has an almost natural color - a delicate flower with a panicle-type inflorescence. Perhaps his appearance will seem unromantic to some. For such a case, flower business experts will offer artificially colored plants. And if such a bouquet echoes the necklace around the neck, as well as a softly hanging belt made of natural stone, the option is amazing. A turquoise wedding is filled with natural energy and warmth.

In the summer there is a wonderful opportunity to add lightness to your groom's outfit. A suit consisting of dark turquoise trousers, a lighter jacket, and a white shirt looks chic.

The second option - the opposite of the first - consists of a shirt in natural turquoise and a light suit. It’s especially nice that this color scheme suits both dark and light eyes and hair. The suit is supposed to be in dark tones, the main thing is that the color of the shirt matches the elements of the bride’s outfit. The color of turquoise at a wedding is a symbol of devotion and universal harmony.

For bridesmaids and guests

If the bride's dress is white, then the bridesmaids can wear dresses in turquoise shades - from pale blue to bright turquoise. Moreover, they can have either the same style or different ones. You can use another color from the wedding palette.

If the bride's dress is turquoise, then the bridesmaids will suit pale pink, light coral, cream and other delicate tones. It is also acceptable to use bright shades - yellow or red, but in this case the girlfriends risk outshining the queen of the evening.

Along with the dress, you should carefully consider the choice of bouquets, shoes and other accessories - all details should be in harmony with the dress and create an elegant, complete look.

Guests must be warned that the wedding will be themed (this can be done with the help of invitations) - in this case, they themselves will choose outfits to match the event.

Turquoise wedding

One of the most beautiful legends about turquoise is the one that tells about people who died from hopeless love. It is believed that their bones eventually turned into precious turquoise. Chemists very simply explain the origin of this stone; for them it is aqueous phosphate of aluminum and copper.

At weddings of the peoples of the Caucasus and Ancient Asia, turquoise certainly had to be present among the bride’s accessories and jewelry. The bride was supposed to give the groom a weapon decorated with turquoise, a ring or other jewelry as a sign of love. And if turquoise faded over time, it was believed that love was fading away. Those who knew that turquoise fades from contact with water and fats protected the stone from damage. It is believed that if the feelings of lovers have faded, it is enough for them to hold each other’s hands, holding a turquoise stone in their hands.

Turquoise is the stone of true romantics!

The name "piruz" (or "firuza") came from Persia and meant "bringer of victory." Turquoise is considered a powerful talisman for sailors and entrepreneurs. It is believed that the stone can punish dishonest people. It is not surprising that the desire to hold a wedding under the sign of turquoise is not as simple as it might initially seem.

For some nationalities, a wedding is considered turquoise if people have been married for 18 years. This date is usually celebrated as a turquoise wedding; husband and wife should give each other jewelry made of turquoise or inlaid with turquoise. The bride should wear a dress slightly lighter than sea green (this is the color of the stone), and the groom may have a vest or tie of the same color.

But sometimes the very first wedding chooses turquoise shades, and it is very beautiful. And after 18 years, the spouses will be able to repeat the action, confirming that all this time they took care of their love and jewelry given to each other.

Subtleties and details of a turquoise wedding

So, what could a turquoise wedding of the newlyweds look like and how best to organize it?

Many moments of the wedding can be associated with the search for part of the treasure, and by the end of the wedding all parts must be found. The bride, groom, bridesmaids and witnesses do not have to wear turquoise-colored clothes, but, for example, identical ribbons (for girls) and scarves peeking out of the pockets of suits (for boys) can be used as elements of the outfits. A photo shoot can begin with the arrival of the bride and groom on a carriage with horses at the wedding, which can be held outside the city, in nature. In countries with developed horse breeding, it is still customary to decorate a horse's bridle with turquoise: it is believed that no one will fall off the horse wearing it, and the animal will become a faithful friend of the owner of the bridle.

At some point after the photo shoot, the bride may be kidnapped by evil “pirates” , and as a ransom the groom will be required to sing, dance or any other amateur performance. After the bride is found, she is given a gift of turquoise by the groom, and this can also be played out in a certain way. As a toast, a beautiful legend about stone and love can be told.

Games and competitions for a turquoise wedding

When the wedding begins to gain momentum, you can play the game “Get a Herd”, the essence of which is as follows: the witness and the witness choose the same number of participants in the game. Then the first two participants of each team are given a spoon with a thin long rope tied to it. The task of each team is to “string” themselves firmly, passing a spoon with a rope under their clothes. The winner is the team that completes the procedure first and at the same time can move as a whole team, for example, dance without tearing a ligament. Each of the two “shepherds” of the herd must manage his own team. The winners receive prizes wrapped in turquoise paper.

Any competitions and games can be held, complementing them with “turquoise” elements, and the wedding will be done in the same style. Of course, the design of the pavilion (or picnic clearing) should also include turquoise colors, let them be napkins, boutonnieres, ribbons, balls. Invitations to a turquoise wedding should also have hints of turquoise. It should be borne in mind that in nature turquoise comes in whitish-blue, greenish-brown, apple, blue and other colors. And “mesh turquoise,” which is considered the most beautiful, has dark veins in its structure.

The most beautiful gifts

For guests, a turquoise wedding is a real treat! Newlyweds can be given bed linen in turquoise tones, a leather wallet with a turquoise pebble inside (it is believed that the pebble will bring wealth), jewelry, and not only women’s, men adore daggers in sheaths inlaid with turquoise and other stones, design items, and the like. A pale turquoise kitchen set is the height of sophistication this season. Any designer figurines with imitation turquoise will fit perfectly into turquoise gifts!

If the wedding is not planned to be a grand one, it can still be turquoise, you just need to think through all its elements carefully. It is not at all necessary to give expensive jewelry, blue shiny packaging, small imitations of turquoise, simple keychains “under turquoise”, a new scarf for the lady, bright turquoise socks for the husband - that’s what you came up with for your wedding.

Sometimes young people also organize a modest wedding, only to escape later on a stunning honeymoon under a turquoise beach umbrella! The main thing is that the color of turquoise always brings new shades to the chosen style; it is in fashion and suits almost everyone.

Invitations

For a themed wedding, choose invitations in a matching style.

Beach party

For a beach party, postcards with photographs of the sea, sand and palm trees are suitable. As additional decor, if desired, use:

shells;
pearls;
miniature Hawaiian flowers;

Volumetric invitations in the form of sand castles or beach umbrellas with sun loungers look original.

Marine theme

For a nautical theme, purchase or order invitations decorated with:

An original option could be a bouquet of the following components:

vintage brooches;
sweet candies in turquoise wrapper;
catchy ribbons.

Photo

Make your wedding a bright fairy tale, full of turquoise color and great mood. Turquoise is the color of the ocean with all sorts of shades of blue and green, and it means love.

Decor

There are a lot of ideas for decorating a wedding in a nautical style! Use textiles in blue tones and stripes: tablecloths, napkins, chair covers and pillows will create a “ship” mood. Shells, pebbles and starfish make great place cards, and they can also replace a standard ring pad. A bright lifebuoy or a snow-white sailboat will be a wonderful decorative element, decorations made from a ship’s rope will add some color, and you can invite all guests to the ceremony or to the festive table with the help of a ship’s bell.
