You do not say what zone you are so this is just a general early spring suggestion.
Omphalodes cappadocica (navelwort): Cultivars include 'Cherry Ingram' (large, deep-blue flowers), 'Starry Eyes' (deep blue flowers outlined in pinkish white); well-drained, even moisture, light shade; April-June; The flowers stand above the leaves and are very blue.http://plants.thompson-morgan.com/product/4408/1
Pulmonaria or lungwort is a very early bloomer with soft blue to pink blossoms. 'E.B. Anderson' or 'Blue Ensign' has some of the darkest flowers; moist but well-drained soils; partial shade, shade, but never full sun; The plant has silver specked leaves.

Siberian Squill is minute but intensly blue. Plant hundreds for real spring impact.

What I would suggest is this: It sounds like you're going for sort of a bohemian, flower child, hippie thing already, with the hemp dress and the flowers in your hair. So have that be your theme! Find out what type of flowers grow near the church your wedding will be held in, and base the colors off of that. There were be plenty of flowers in April, so some of your decorations will already be there - free of cost! Maybe your colors could be, for example, green and light pink, because of the flowers. Try to base your wedding around concepts that are important to you - and it sounds like you're already doing that!

I think violets flower in April they are very delicate and bloom for a long time especially wild one's, hope this helps if not ask at your local garden centre
