If you're still trying to decide on a color palette for your wedding, you might want to consider blue and white. While white and gold weddings are also popular, the classic pairing of blue and white has been popular for centuries – in fact, blue-and-white porcelain ginger jars are thought to have originated in China during the Tang Dynasty. Since then, they’ve been recreated in the chinoiserie style, which has become popular in interior design, home décor, and even weddings. The stylish patterns – and the famous indigo and vanilla hues – have also become popular for wedding decorations.
Traditional Chinese-inspired patterns, floral motifs, and geometric designs are all popular in today’s ginger jars and blue-and-white ceramics, making it easy to choose a style that works best for your celebration. Whether you choose to go with an entirely blue-and-white color palette or just sprinkle some blue-and-white elements throughout your tablescape, the sophisticated combo is sure to make a statement.
Ceramic tiles painted with a festive blue-and-white motif can serve as escort cards, blue-and-white floral embroideries inspired by pottery can adorn the robes or dressing gowns you wear while getting ready for the big day, the high-contrast colors can appear on charger plates or china, or wedding flowers can emerge from antique or modern-day ginger jars at the ceremony or on top of reception tables.
