Whether you’re getting married by the sea or just have a thing for sailor outfits, a nautical-themed wedding can tie everything together and give your guests some room for creativity in their attire. And everyone likes some good navy, stripes, anchors and boating knots, right?
Once used to spot sailors across the sea, blue-and-white striped pieces have become a classic for any occasion. Pictured above is the Nautical Navy Strip Bow Tie, available at highcottonties.com for $45.
Why not skip the classic lace-ups and slip into a dress boat shoe. This chic footwear alternative is great for the altar and dock party. Available at Sebago for $140.
Add a boating knot to your boutonniere. Well hello, Sailor, that’s not a bad idea!
Never hurts to have a bridesmaid in a navy halter corset dress. And for $24.99, they’ll be thanking you for the recommendation. Available at American Eagle.
For the last minute guest trying to figure out how to work in the nautical theme, try some button replacements!
This true blue blazer would be great for any high-to-mild femme wedding attendee looking to rock the waves. Available at The Limited for $62.93.
