Why You Should Have a Something Blue Crew

Have you ever heard of the Something Blue Crew? If not, get ready to discover a fantastic twist on the traditional element of something blue, that also makes those you cherish deeply feel loved and involved on your big day. 

So what is the Something Blue Crew, you ask?

Well, it’s an amazing concept that really adds a unique touch to your wedding day! Members of the Something Blue Crew are people you love dearly, and want to be part of your big day, but who (for one reason or another) are not part of your bridal party.  

You can have them wear something blue, and invite them to come get ready with you for your big day. Essentially, they get to be your something blue. While they may not be standing next to you during the ceremony, they still play a special role in your day. Best of both worlds, am I right?

Why is it so awesome?

I see brides all the time struggling to choose who will stand up with them on their big day. It can be so hard to pick who gets to do that when you have a big friend group, lots of siblings or family you also want involved. This way, you get to still have all your favorite people with you getting ready for your big day, without having to have a 20 person bridal party.

You can also choose to have your crew involved in your day however you like, getting ready with you doesn’t have to be the end of the road. It’s truly up to you, and how big you want to dream! 

So if you’re looking for a fun and inclusive way to share your special day with those close to you, consider assembling your very own Something Blue Crew. It’s a memorable way to celebrate friendship and add that extra touch of charm to your wedding festivities!

“Hiring Gabriella as our photographer was the single best decision we made on wedding day. Because we had an intimate elopement at town hall, it was important to us to capture the small details and intimate moments in a way that we could look back on our day and feel like we are reliving it. Well, Gabriella’s work does just that. She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our gallery. She gave updates and clear expectations along the way so that we were never left wondering what next steps were, and was timely with getting sneak peaks and the full gallery back to us. We are an introverted couple who is not used to being in front of the camera, and Gabriella was super patient and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Her communication style is to be seriously commended. She also went above and beyond to scope out of the venue and found the perfect spot for us to do our private vows in. We don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. If you are considering working with Gabriella for your special day, do it!!

We LOVED working with Gabriella for our Wedding photography! From our first video call, she made us feel totally at ease about the whole process, and it was clear she had a ton of experience. We do not consider ourselves very photogenic, but Gabriella got AMAZING pictures from our Wedding and an Engagement shoot. She’s fun, friendly, professional, and everything you need in a Wedding photographer (or for any other event). Cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better to capture our proposal! I had intentions of interviewing multiple photographers, but after seeing her work and talking to her over the phone, I immediately booked with her. Her passion for photography is so evident. She goes above and beyond to make your shoot about YOU. She does a great job of taking control and guiding you with poses that you will love, and her candid shots are unbelievable. She had a smile on her face the entire time and we felt like a close friend was there doing this for us. Would recommend her 100 times out of 100!

Gabriella was absolutely amazing. She made the photography session so easy and effortless. Her personality is so warm and inviting, she made us feel so so comfortable during these pictures. Gabriella went above and beyond for us and I’m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!”
