Beach and Nautical Inspired Weddings

A nautical theme for a wedding incorporates the beauty of the ocean and the fun of the beach in a wedding ceremony and reception. The colors and decorations that you choose for your wedding can use symbols such as seashells, sailboats and seaside scenes for a nautical theme and décor.

The wedding invitations are the first opportunity to show off the nautical theme to your guests.

Favors

    To create favors for your guests, look for lighthouses and sailboats, which fit right in with the nautical theme. Lighthouse candleholders and blue candles or seashells filled with candies work well for the theme. Look for nautical figurines to present to guests at the wedding.

Centerpieces

    The centerpieces for the tables are another opportunity to display your ocean theme. Use glass bowls filled with sand, seashells and starfish. With colored sand, you can create an ocean scene in the bowls as well. Elegant lighthouse candleholders surrounded by tropical flowers makes a beautiful centerpiece for the guest tables.

Food

    Serve an ocean feast for the nautical wedding. When serving seafood, you should have other options for guests who are not seafood eaters. You can serve lobster or crab legs for an elegant and extravagant feast, or have a beach clambake for a casual party.
