Nautical Wedding Ideas  

Weddings entail 1001 tasks to be done. But a lot of people are not intimidated by the frenzy of the preparation especially if the wedding theme is centered about something they love. If you have decided on a nautical themed wedding, most probably you are a sailor or you and your bride have an inordinate love of water. If you have opted for a beach wedding or one in a tropical location, you would naturally need nautical wedding ideas. Below are some centerpieces ideas that would lend a nautical atmosphere to the wedding scene. 

Go Neon 

A neon luau setting is one of the super nautical wedding ideas. Have the bridesmaids carry neon flowers for their bouquets and provide glowing neon ties for the groomsmen. You can use sailor hats in glowing neon colors as centerpieces. Small neon beach balls arranged around the sailor hats will complement the other neon beach balls strategically scattered around the wedding location.

Hawaiian Paradise 

Imagine this: The bride and groom saying I dos in a sunset setting. The glowing sunset colors of purple, burnt orange and reds would be a spectacular backdrop to the deep blue color of the ocean. The reception area will be decorated with tropical flowers. Decorate each table with a center piece of a big seashell nestled on a mound of sand or use hurricane lamps surrounded by exotic bouquets birds of paradise as center pieces. Golden champagne flutes will complement the gilded dinnerware. 

Ocean View 

Another super idea for a center piece is to use large water globes with lifelike swimming dolphins. For a more stunning effect, lay a blue table cloth over a white one. This will mirror the colors of the ocean. Another idea is to sprinkle glow in the dark fish graffiti around the globes. Long blue flags that would wave and sway with the breeze would complete the ocean view setting.

Pina Colada Center Pieces 

The beach is hot! A long cool drink of pina colada would be soothing to a parched throat. This is one of the great nautical wedding ideas. Heap sand on every table and decorate with a pina colada glass. Arrange seashells, small beach balls, imitation crabs and paper beach umbrellas around the glass. You may also fill the glass with imitation fruits and coconuts. To complete the theme, you can serve pina colada drinks to your guests.
