Light Blue and White

Why should I consider light blue and white for my family photos or event?

There’s something so timeless and classic about the pairing of light blue and white. Just look at nature and you’ll see blue sky and white fluffy clouds, blue water and white sands, the blue feathers of the bluebird with the proud white chest. The color scheme for family outfits is just that - timeless and classic, but still feels fresh, especially for spring and summer.

How do I do it?

If you’re planning this color scheme for your family, consider the overall vibe and how you will tie it all together. I recommend deciding between a very classic New England preppy blue and white, or a more formal blue and white outfit scheme, or choosing a single item to tie it all together - whether sweaters or collar details. 

When and where is this outfit color scheme appropriate?

Light blue and white outfits for families are especially fitting for spring and summer, though the white could be swapped for a metallic silver or gold for a festive holiday look (more on that later). Perfect as bridal shower outfits (although avoid too much white), baby shower outfits (stunning for a baby boy shower), graduation outfits (ensure you’re not going to clash with school colors if they are aggressive), and of course, family Easter outfits, you simply cannot go wrong with light blue and white clothing in the spring and summer. Consider the outdoor backdrop of your events and photos as well - blue and white clothes have a nice pop against summer colors and even a cooling effect. In my opinion, this is one of the best summer family photo outfit choices!

Who can wear it?

One of the many benefits of timeless color schemes like light blue and white is the fact that it is ageless. Indeed, you’ll see options for mom, wife, and grandma - both sleeveless and with covered arms, and in multiple sizes for different body types. For him, you’ll see the tried-and-true classic staples that will be re-usable in his closet beyond your events and photos. Baby boy outfits and baby girl outfits, as well as toddler and child outfits are chic choices that will stand the test of time.
