“♫ Anchors Aweigh, My Brides, Anchors Aweigh ♫” Nautical touches are setting sail as a hot wedding trend and I love it! There’s a crisp and preppy feeling that accompanies the nautical theme. Think of navy blue, red and gold at a yacht club venue. If you have a love of the ocean, but don’t want a beach wedding that’s been overdone, try adding a nautical theme to your wedding. I’ve found a few great photos that may make you go “overboard” for the nautical trend too! I absolutely adore the rope detailing on this invitation, by Paper Crave, and the groomsman’s boutonnieres: ... |
Erin at Lucky Me! recently posted this lovely little eye candy of a fellow blogger {Aylee} that is planning her wedding with a nautical theme!You all should know that nautical themed weddings hold a close little place in my heart as I spent my childhood summers at the lake and the anchor represented my sorority's ideals and beliefs. Once upon a time, I was planning a nautical wedding.So, imagine my glee when this picture of Aylee's DIY bouquet appeared in my google reader!I don't think that a bouquet could get more lovely!

Being a true Southern girl at heart, I adore weddings that take place at marinas, on yachts, or at sea. Crisp navy, shades of blue, and white look amazing against the backdrop of the water, and adding punches of other primary colors, like red and yellow, is key.

I hope everyone had a lovely, long holiday weekend! The summer is coming to an end (far too quickly if you ask me) and I thought some nautical wedding inspiration would be the perfect way to top it off. An expected red and blue palette is a must – and a little gold here and there adds a nice touch and brightens things up a bit. Boats, anchors and the like can also be incorporated in a subtle way without going, uh, overboard. Check out these posts I’ve done in the past for more nautical inspiration… here and here. - candice Featured Design: Paris Invitation Photo Credits: left column Bri... |
I am really excited about how these invitations came out. They were a real collaborative effort between myself, the bride, groom, & even Rich! The bride & groom came to me with a very clear idea of what they wanted. They gave me a brochure for New Bedford, Massachusetts {where the wedding is going to be} which included a vintage street map of the town. They wanted a vintage & nautical feel to their invitations to set the tone of the day. I love the use of the banner & scroll in this design. The registration was super tight between the deep red banner &... |
