Nuts about Nautical Weddings

A few months ago, one of my brides changed her theme/wedding look from a modern black, white and fuchsia color scheme to a nautical navy affair with white, silver, hot pink and green colors added to the color palette. I was so happy with the change! As a florist, it made things much more fun for me as there is a lot more to pull from when you have more colors to work with. I talked her into navy and white striped ribbon on the bouquet handles and some short mixed centerpieces in galvanized metal buckets and we also did a monogrammed aisle runner with a little anchor on it. The cake was decorated with fresh flowers and had gum paste/fondant waves, ropes, and knots on it–it was the most nautical thing at the wedding and still was very chic and understated. I think keeping the nautical touches subtle and chic is the way to go and it makes me very excited to do other nautical weddings in the future. I’ve already been gathering up inspiration! Check out these nautical niceties…
