Cool cobalt blue is certainly making its way to the what's hot list for 2011 weddings, team it with vibrant yellow for a colour explosion or keep it bold yet simple with white or silver.

We're full of fun facts, did you know that cobalt blue was the main blue pigment used in Chinese blue and white porcelain for centuries? So it fits in perfectly with our willow pattern china inspired wedding this month. A white wedding gown is sure to pop against these bold blue bridesmaid dresses.
