This fresh, light blue color works so well for a classically inspired wedding palette. The birthstone for March, Aquamarine was derived from the Latin word aqua (water) and marina (sea). It has been thought to protect sailors and assure a safe voyage, as well as keep one level headed. Because of its watery implications and its beautiful cool translucency, we love this for a watercolor themed wedding. It compliments spring and summer colors (yellow, peach, rose) and is also perfectly captivating on its own. Plus, if you’re interested in the actual stone as a diamond alternative, there are plenty of gorgeous rings out there featuring aquamarine as the main stone – they’re classy, unique, and typically less expensive than a diamond. Win, win.
