Nautical

I really really love nautical rock beach weddings up north. They are very classy and traditional with a preppy twist. Here are some cool ideas for a nautical wedding. 





Cute party favor and the girls could use them for the reception after their feet hurt from wearing sandy fancy shoes for so long. 
To make guests more comfortable on the sand, the couple handed out green, brown and white flip-flops. Also up for the taking: lime-colored luggage tags.

This would be an amazing place to have the reception!
Plenty of candles, tiki torches and fire pits gave the outdoor reception a cozy ambience.

I really love when the boys wear black suits with multi pattern preppy ties or sear sucker suits

The yacht club was an obvious choice: Vanessa grew up sailing in Indian Harbor, and Campbell’s family loved the views.

This cake is beautiful! it is very elegant and nautical
The bride and groom cut into a beach-inspired confection covered in white icing and decorated with seashells and buttercream buttons.

I really love the starfish idea
The couple stood before a bamboo arch decorated with tulle and tropical flowers. Seashells lined the aisle, and starfish hung from the chairs.While festive Caribbean steel drum music played during cocktail hour, the tables were set with beach-themed centerpieces that were just the thing for the seaside venue. The shells, gathered by the couple during their travels, were arranged on beach sand c...\
I love driftwood too! it is so cool and chic
Stationery with a modern font rested on birchwood holders decorated with orchids. The wood and flower accents brought in the beach theme.
I love these crab cookies and they would be cute as lobsters too :)

The bride and her sister-in-law carried out the beachside theme by making crab-detailed white chocolates for the guest welcome bags.The programs were attached to mini dowel rods for guests to wave while cheering as the couple walked down the aisle.The beach chic tables were set with chargers, white folded napkins and dried starfish, which guests took home as wedding favors.These personalized blue and coral napkins were passed with vodka drinks during the cocktail hour.


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this table set up. It would be perfect if it was set up on a dock but still with the same covering. It would just really add to the nautical theme to be able to look out over the ocean and hear the waves. 
The reception tent looked the part with dark wood chiavari chairs, white cushions and round tables draped in light blue toile linens. Tall glass vases topped with white hydrangeas and decorative toy boats, which also doubled as table numbers, gave the tab...Retro menu cards, highlighting the buffet items, were tied to casual tea towels.
