To sea, to sea: Nautical Weddings
Caroline Wolfe Papocchia Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 9:01AM May and June are lovely for flower-saturated weddings and garden parties, but when July hits its hot stride it's best to look to the sea. An actual beach wedding is not necessary, because even if one cannot enjoy the offshore breezes in person, they certainly can channel the briny deep with truly nautical nuptials.
A perennial favorite - what is more romantic than the sea? - the risk of planning nautical nuptials is the risk of skittering into kitsch. It is a theme that can be taken too far, with piles of shells on the tables and netting and buoys hanging from the wall. It is better to keep it simple with these rules:
1) Let the venue work for you. Marinas, yacht clubs, seaside restaurants, and banquet halls are typically designed with a marine feel in mind.
