Nautical Wedding Theme Ideas

10 Ways to Add a Nautical Theme to Your Wedding

When I first imagined my wedding, I thought it would be located at one of the island lighthouses my grandfather had renovated on Lake Superior. I had all of the details figured out: my fiancé would row me to the lighthouse's beach for the ceremony, we'd incorporate rope and sailor's knots into the décor, and we'd be sure to include lots of whitefish in the menu. As it turned out, I had a (lovely) landlubber's wedding, and my nautical dreams stayed just that. But that doesn't mean you can't have a fabulous nautical-themed wedding of your own! Here are some fun and beautiful ideas to get you started.

Love the nautical wedding ideas! Wish I had had them when I got married. As a big fan of all things nautical, I have one to add. Hadley Pottery (www.hadleypottery.com) has a variety of nautical patterns, and you could give a personalized anchor coaster as gifts, or use sailboat or lobster and crab bowls for serving if you were having a smaller crowd. I love my Hadley nautical patterns.
