Cruise Ship Wedding Theme

If you dream of a wedding that spells beauty, tranquility, majesty and a touch of mystery, then consider a cruise ship wedding theme. This type of wedding motif can take several forms by simply choosing what you can picture out whenever you think of cruising and the ocean.

Ocean blues and greens are the ideal colors for your cruise ship wedding. Include complementary colors such as yellow and fuchsia to set the tone and create a cool and contemporary look for your wedding as well. You can even blend primary colors with bright and warm colors like orange or sand for tranquility.

Dress the bride and bridesmaids up either in pristine white or a variety of ocean blues. You can even accentuate their attire with embroidery, wraps or a sash in blue to bring out an ocean feel to their look. Don’t forget to accessorize with aqua colored or shell shaped pieces. On the other hand, the groom and ushers can don an all white ensemble with a satin blue tie. If you want a less formal look, you can opt for white cotton shirt and sand colored lined pants.

Instead of the usual flower bouquet, go for a seashell bouquet in different colors or all in white. Or, you can also have a bouquet of white roses in ocean green ribbon may be embellished with little shells. The groom and ushers can wear small sea creatures, say, white painted starfish on their lapels. Moreover, your ring bearer can also carry your wedding rings on a big oyster shell too.

Moreover, be creative when decorating your centerpieces at the reception. You can incorporate many beautiful shells or pillar candles in different sizes and shapes or strings of pearls. The wedding cake can be your centerpiece, which you can use like a blank canvas. Decorate it with shells or have it spray painted with ocean imagery. If you want a milder approach, you can tint your wedding cake with light blue or green or decorate it with strings of pearls or flowers. Serve fresh seafood such as oysters, clams, cooked shrimp as well as other courses like salad or chowder on ocean colored china or glassware.

For cruise ship wedding theme favors, send off your guests personalized saltwater taffy boxes, seashell ornaments or anything that depicts an ocean theme. Try flip flops with the newlywed couple’s message commemorating the special day.
