If blueblood didn’t said ¨one’s clothes should take care of the problem¨, I’m sure Rarity would have been just happy to avoid it and satisfied by a ¨let’s walk around it¨ solution. Putting his clothes in the water for a lady to walk on is something exclusive of theatrical courting, Really, it’s just faster to walk around than waiting for someone to do that anyway. The only people who might do it, know they are overdoing it but it looks poetic, just like in a movie, and it shows their willingness to sacrifice their comfort for their loved one so they do it for the show. That’s why Rarity was right to expect it after Blueblood said his line, he really sounded like he was going to do it for the beauty of the gesture.
