Features of a wedding in a nautical style
You can create the desired atmosphere using various details and elements. For example, in the process of decorating an outfit and interior, use anchors, sea creatures and other themed decorations. The color scheme of the celebration should also be close to the chosen theme. White and shades of blue, as well as wave color, are ideal. The most suitable time of year for such a wedding is considered to be late spring, summer or early autumn. You can organize a celebration at such locations as:
- sea or river shore;
- countryside coastal hotel;
- cafe in nautical style;
- board a ship or small yacht.
This wedding style is considered ideal for those couples who love travel and development, are not afraid of experiments and like to stand out among the crowd.
Bride in nautical style
The image of a bride in a nautical style is a unique combination of fantasy and themed decor. There are several options for a girl's style for such an occasion.
Stylized look
In this version of the look, the dress can be chosen in blue, white or turquoise colors. An ideal addition to the look would be a handbag decorated with corals or sea stones or pearls. Shoes should look laconic and, given the location, you should choose a model with a small wedge heel. If the bride is brave enough, you can do without shoes at all. Especially if the celebration is planned on the sea or ocean shore. Then it is important to think through the details of foot decoration and pedicure to complete the look.
To complement the hairstyle, shells, nautical-style decor, as well as a light Greek hairstyle are suitable. The dress can be complemented with a long veil in a matching or contrasting shade. For example, a blue dress with a white veil will look good. The girl's headband is decorated with a comb or other thematic accessory that harmoniously matches the image.
Sea wedding bouquet
A bride's bouquet with a corresponding theme will be a harmonious addition to the image. A bouquet of blue or sea-hued flowers, such as:
- roses;
- chamomile;
- hydrangeas;
- mimosas;
- violets;
- peonies.
The base of the flower arrangement can be decorated with shells, blue and white ribbons, and sea stones found during your next trip. An ideal complement would be a floral mesh of a suitable color.
What decorations can be used
The choice of decorations directly depends on the theme of the holiday. At the same time, there are several standard “sets” of decorations that can be used in each of the celebrations: • Balloons. These can be ordinary round balls, from which unusual compositions can be easily created - arches, figures, paintings, flowers. Even a wall that is completely filled with balls will look stunning.
• Flowers. Depending on the budget, you can use live or artificial ones - from decorative paper. If the flower arrangement is formed from fresh flowers, then you need to use special systems for supplying water. Thus, the composition will look “alive” throughout the celebration.
• Paper lanterns and balls. This is a great alternative to balloons. Additionally, other volumetric decorations of the same format can be used - soft clouds, birds in the form of kites, etc. • Thematic photographs of different sizes, which can be placed in photo frames or represent huge collages. It's easy to create beautiful compositions from individual photos.
• If you are using a chalkboard as a base, it is important to use brightly colored crayons. But the auxiliary decorations should not be overlooked. Depending on the theme of the event, gramophone records, live plants in flowerpots, soft toys, candy bars or tables with pyramids of sliced fruit, New Year’s tinsel, and fabrics can also be used.
Groom's outfit in a nautical style
The main color of a man's suit will be white or a bright blue shade. Accessories can include a bow tie with a thematic subtext, a boutonniere, and suspenders with nautical decor. If the location of the celebration is the shore of a reservoir or on board a sea vessel, then the groom can choose an outfit that consists of loose-fitting trousers, as well as a light blue or dark blue shirt. In these cases, a tie and jacket are not such necessary accessories.
It is recommended to make the boutonniere in a range of white and blue shades. Ideally, it should harmonize as much as possible with the bride's bouquet. To emphasize the theme of the wedding, it can be decorated with marine decorative elements.
Beautiful examples
The simplest option for organizing a shooting location is to install a wooden or metal frame with stretched fabric. You can also simply mount this canvas on a wall or other surface without using a frame.
The background in this case can be very diverse.
The material used is multi-colored or plain fabric, posters, wallpaper and even newspapers. Flower garlands, paper fans and hearts, complemented with satin ribbons, as well as pompoms and balloons can diversify the composition.
Using multi-colored ribbons, vintage lace, paper pom-poms and flowing fabrics will help you decorate your shooting location.
A photo wall with delicate decorative flowers will be an ideal place for a photo shoot.
An arch of flowers or a delicate aerial composition is another great idea.
The use of balloons, expensive fabrics and flowers will allow you to decorate your photo zone in a classic style.
Guest dress code details
The decor of the invited persons should also correspond to the theme. Ideally, you should choose blue, white or turquoise colors and harmoniously play with their combination with each other. As additional decor, you can use satin ribbons in marine shades, as well as decorations in the form of stars, shells, stones and other marine additions.
At the entrance to the restaurant or deck, you can give out additional accessories in the form of ribbons, flowers or pirate hats. This technique will not only complement the image of the guests, but will also help during the wedding photo shoot, creating a unified composition according to the decor style. It is important to pay special attention to the costumes of the groomsmen and bridesmaids. The nuances of creating images are as follows:
- For a wedding of the chosen theme, Greek bridesmaid dresses made of light, flowing types of fabric are ideal. You can choose colors that are close to marine options, and marine themed decorations will help complement the look;
- friends from the groom's side can support the theme of the celebration with suits of appropriate style and suitable colors. Colors should also choose a nautical theme. An original solution would be to create images of sailors. If a modest option is provided, you can limit yourself to sailor shorts of a suitable style and color.
In addition to costumes, the decoration and other accompaniment of a wedding ceremony at sea plays an important role.
How to set up a photo zone for the holidays?
The photo zone should correspond to the theme of the celebration. A children's party and a 50th anniversary will require completely different attributes. Interior designers have long divided all events into categories and identified the basic principles of their decoration.

- candy world;
- kingdom of balloons;
- rainbow and clouds;

Sweets and flowers made from foamiran look bright and festive. This dense foam material readily takes and retains any shape. Flowers are easy to make from corrugated paper. The figures are mounted on a plywood sheet, a wall, or distributed on the floor along the perimeter of the photo zone.
Helium balloons are used as a self-sufficient decoration or to complement the main composition. They are used to collect numbers, figures, flowers, and bouquets. They will float beautifully in the air.
“One” is the central element of the photo zone for the first birthday. The easiest way is to order a ball of a given shape. The base is decorated with candies, Christmas tree decorations, and paper pompoms.

Wedding decoration in a nautical style
Marine themes are available not only in the summer. With a competent approach to the decoration of the celebration, you can hold seaside weddings in cold times. The main thing is to show imagination and a creative approach.
If it is not possible to find a body of water nearby or it is frozen due to winter, it can be created artificially. For example, an alpine slide and recording the noise of the surf and the cries of seagulls would be an ideal option. Walls and doorways can be decorated using fabric drapery with thematic overtones. You can place various marine-themed decor on the walls, both purchased and made with your own hands. To create a beautiful arch, floral arrangements of blue and white options are used.
Tables for guests are also covered with a tablecloth of a matching color. You can choose one color option for all tables, or play on the contrast and originality of each of them. Chairs can be decorated with ribbons, fresh flowers or sea corals.
Types of photo zones
Press wall
The most common option, which is a regular dense surface. It is on this basis that decorations of different types can be placed - three-dimensional and flat. Making a frame for a photo zone with your own hands is not that difficult, just a little imagination, and your guests will be happy to record memorable moments.
Chalk board
Any picture can be depicted on such a surface. An additional advantage is that such a base can be used repeatedly, changing the design.
Fabric cloth
This option is close to the press wall, but the base is more elastic and pliable. Another plus is the ability to create backlighting in the background. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, which may relate specifically to the installation of the base.
Wedding Venue
First, the newlyweds choose a wedding location. A maritime style celebration has its own options, each of which has both advantages and significant disadvantages:
- The celebration can be held on a boat or yacht. This option is considered optimal for those cases when the number of guests does not exceed 25-30 people. If you plan to have more guests, you can order a spacious ship or rent one. The disadvantages of this method include the expensive rental of a vessel, which not all couples can afford;
- a wedding on the seaside creates a unique atmosphere of romance and inner freedom. It is worth considering a scenario when the weather completely deteriorates. For such cases, couples take huts or tents with them. If possible, it is worth renting hotel rooms. A less expensive option would be a celebration on the shore of a local lake or river, as well as any other body of water;
- A classic wedding location is the restaurant. When choosing this option, you can save both money and nerves on decorating the hall and preparing a menu for guests. These responsibilities can be taken on by employees of the selected institution for an additional fee. Many people choose the option of a restaurant during the cold season.
Organizing a wedding celebration in a nautical style is possible even if there are no bodies of water nearby. You can create a festive atmosphere with the help of decor and a well-designed menu.
Wedding scenarios in a nautical style
There are a large number of wedding scenarios. Despite the general theme, the design of the celebration can be different and depends only on the nuances.
Stylistics “Scarlet Sails”
Some fans of the classics use the script from A. Green’s book “Scarlet Sails”. In this scenario, the bride should choose a red dress, and the groom should play the role of a prince. According to the script, the man must sail to the bride on a motor ship or ship - a limousine with scarlet sails.
A ship with fluttering scarlet sails can also be depicted on invitation cards. In this scenario, the wedding venue should be the nearest taverns. It is recommended to choose decorations in a calm style, but leave bright scarlet as the main color. A red arch decorated with fresh flowers will fit ideally into the wedding scenario in the Scarlet Sails style.
Party for sailors
This scenario option is ideal for couples with a good sense of humor. The main details of a celebration in this style will be bright colors and a characteristic nautical striped print. The main feature of the celebration will be themed tug-of-war competitions and other maritime competitions.
The entrance to the wedding location can be decorated in the style of the gangway, decorating it with appropriate decor. Guests’ tables can be safely decorated with anchors, and the guests themselves can be asked to come in nautical vests or dresses with a nautical theme. The groom can also be given the title of captain of a ship or vessel, and the bride - boatswain.
Wedding in the style of the underwater world
With this design of the celebration, the bride can safely try on the role of a mermaid or sea mythological undead. And the groom will feel like Poseidon in all his manifestations.
The hall can be styled to resemble the seabed using stones, corals or shells.
When creating a seafood menu, it is important to remember that not all guests will be fans of this particular cuisine, and one cannot rule out the possibility of allergies.
Therefore, the base can be made marine, but other options can be provided for them in case of emergency. Guests will be able to transform into sea creatures with additions in the form of wigs, beads and decorations made of stones and shells.
Overview of species
If earlier weddings were held traditionally, then modern trends dictate different rules. You can arrange a truly amazing holiday that will be remembered not only by the newlyweds, but also by all the guests for a long time, by decorating the shooting location in accordance with the style of the event, using suitable accessories.
A wedding photo zone is a specific space where photography will take place . It is customary to decorate such an area according to the theme of the celebration. It is not only a background created using a frame with images pasted onto it.
This concept includes the use of various decorative elements, which in combination with each other will create an original design for the photo.
- Framework. Thanks to their exquisite shapes, picture frames are often used to frame and decorate photo zones.
- Flower arrangements.
- Balloons. Balloon decorations can be a great option when creating a beautiful venue for an event.
- Ribbons. Ribbons made of satin, guipure or velvet can become a decorative component of an area installed indoors or outdoors. When arranging it, a horizontal crossbar or arch is installed, where multi-colored ribbons are hung, the shades of which correspond to the wedding palette.
- Slate boards. A black board with chalk text containing the names or initials of the newlyweds, phrases, and inscriptions with congratulations will be an excellent option for creating a photo zone.
- Decorative fence. If the event is held outdoors, the picket fence can be used as a decorative element. This option is suitable for events in rustic or eco style.
- Tantamareski. These entertaining layouts can also be used to create photo zones. They are canvases with drawn people or other characters with empty holes for faces.
- Also, one of the options for a photo zone can be curtains designed to decorate a place in the background. Given their neutrality, curtains are not advisable to use as an independent element.
The advantages of the photo zone are:
- a pre-prepared background, thanks to which you can take the most memorable and original photographs;
- the use of a specially designated area, allowing guests of the event to independently capture photos as a souvenir of this important event;
- Preparing a separate zone with a certain decor will eliminate the possibility of a mistake in the form of a foreign object or passers-by accidentally entering the frame.
Placing a photo zone will add an unusual touch to the design of the room.
There are several options for designing photo zones for a wedding.
- Vertical gardens. They are a design with hanging flower garlands placed. When choosing a hanging vertical garden, it is worth remembering that such a structure should be well secured. It is better to notify guests in advance so that they do not lean too much on the photo zone, so as not to compromise the integrity of the structure. When decorating a room, you can make several options for a vertical flower garden by placing a panel on the wall, installing the composition on the floor, or making it portable. Miniature models can take their rightful place on the newlyweds’ table.
- Photo wall. In this case, the basis for the photo zone will be a square or rectangular plane or a wall with decorative elements located on it. This option is considered very popular, and the arrangement of such an area will not take much time and effort. This option can be adapted for any occasion and for different topics.
- A great option would be to design a themed corner . In this case, the chosen location must correspond to the style of the event and reflect it.
Rustic style
When decorating a photo zone in a rustic style, it is advisable to use calm, soft shades in combination with more saturated decorative elements. Village household items can be used as attributes. This could be a wooden spinning wheel, antique chairs, canvas fabrics, barrels, boxes. You can complement the decor with wicker wreaths, straw hats, and bright scarves with floral patterns.
Marine
If a nautical theme was chosen for the event, it can be played out in a very interesting and original way, for example, by designing a photo area in the form of a pirate ship, a yacht, a vessel with scarlet sails, or just a cabin. Ropes, fishing nets, lifebuoys, a steering wheel, etc. are used as decorative elements. Starfish, shells and strings of pearls will be a worthy addition to wedding decor. A large chest containing treasures will fit organically into the overall style.
For a marine style, design in blue or purple is more suitable; the presence of white, silver and gold inclusions is welcome.
Autumn
When designing an autumn photo zone, you should give preference to shades associated with autumn. On a yellow-orange background, which acts as a base, you can place wicker baskets with autumn gifts (vegetables, fruits), place large vases with voluminous bouquets of real or artificial flowers, and decorate the composition with physalis branches.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's"
When choosing a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” theme, the filming area is designed accordingly. Vintage style will be a great option for this. As the main tone, it is better to use the color of turquoise or tones close to it, such as blue, silver, mint. The presence of black and white photographs on the banner is an indispensable requirement in this case. You should also pay attention to flower arrangements that will complement the decoration.
Winter
If the wedding takes place in winter, then you can play it off in an original way by making a photo zone on a New Year or Christmas theme. As the main attribute, you can take a sleigh and use it for a photo shoot. You can also set up a shooting location in the form of an impromptu room with a burning fireplace. The attributes are complemented by various decorative elements in the form of candles, lanterns, garlands, and Christmas tree decorations.
Summer
In the warm season, it is enough to choose a suitable location in nature with a beautiful landscape for a photo zone. This option does not require lengthy preparation and special material costs; you can use a wide variety of ideas. In the summer, outdoor ceremonies are held more often, so the use of natural locations is ideal for a photo zone.
Spring
The use of delicate shades is more suitable for the spring photo zone. Fabric draperies, floral arrangements, flowerpots with fresh or artificial flowers will become the main elements of such a design.
Marine wedding color palette
As mentioned earlier, the main sea colors are white, blue and turquoise. When creating the image of the bride, groom and guests, you can play with shades of blue, playing on the contrast of colors. The main color chosen for the wedding should be used to decorate the arch, complementing it with decor that matches the style. If necessary, you can use additional colors to soften the color scheme, for example:
- red;
- light;
- grey;
- cream.
It is worth remembering that there is no point in using a large number of flowers to decorate a wedding celebration. Ideally, you should focus on 4-5 options. It is also worth analyzing the combination of the selected shades with each other and with the interior. It is important that the colors are in harmony with the outfits of the invited guests.
Wedding accessories
To create a marine-themed wedding, it is important to use well-chosen decorations. To make it original, you can use one or more of the following techniques:
- Drink glasses can be decorated with shells and ribbons with a themed touch;
- the original decoration for the tables will be aquariums with live fish, which guests, if desired, can later take for themselves;
- place cards can be decorated with corals and marine prints;
- The cushion for the ring is made of fabric with a characteristic striped nautical print. A real sea shell can serve as a stand for the rings. The candlesticks are decorated with warm sea sand, which could have been left over from the couple’s next trip to the coast.
It is important to remember that the decor of the entire interior of the celebration should be harmonious and combined with each other. But at the same time, do not distract guests from the main celebration and images of the newlyweds.
Additional special effects for photo zones
Additional special effects can make photo zones even more attractive. Often, specific lighting is used as such. But a simple garland placed at the top of the decoration will add brightness and grandeur to the photos.
Air bubbles may be a more interesting option. To do this, you can purchase a special gun that can be used exactly at the moment of photography. But this option may not be appropriate for all events. An analogue could be a smoke cannon.
For romantic events, rose petals may be suitable, which can be sprinkled on those who are in the center of the photo zone. An analogue could be artificial snowflakes at New Year's holidays or corporate events.
Crackers or confetti machine. This is a way to decorate your photos and make your photo booth brighter with each subsequent photo. But not all guests may like confetti in their hair or on their clothes. This option is relevant at children's parties.
Some holiday concepts may involve the use of additional decorations and decorations that guests can hold in their hands. Sometimes fans are even used to create a wind effect. Basically, it all depends on the imagination and theme of the holiday. Do you need a photo zone...
A small, properly designed photo zone will become a real decoration for any holiday. Guests will be able to take memorable photos for themselves with a staged effect. It is also an additional decoration for the holiday and a reminder of its theme. Making a photo zone is not difficult if you show a little imagination and spend a little time. At the same time, you can save a significant amount of money and get a lot of pleasure from the creative process of creating decorations.
Decoration of the wedding procession
A wedding cortege in a nautical style can be decorated in several ways:
- classic car design using themed ribbons, balls and other generally accepted decor. In this option, it is better to keep the decorations and design of the car in a blue and white color scheme;
- An original way to decorate will be shells, pearls and other decorations with marine overtones.
An original approach to a wedding would be to change the way the newlyweds travel. For example, part of the journey can be done on a yacht, and part in an original decorated car.
Preparation of invitation cards
Unusual paper will help you create original wedding invitations in a nautical style. You can choose either a plain color or a printed one. Paper with a print in the style of sea creatures is ideal. If the party is planned in a pirate theme, you can order invitations made in the style of aged paper or place them in famous bottles with a message. It is important to compose the text of the invitation in a nautical style, for example, on behalf of a pirate or a ship captain.
Wedding in a nautical style - scenario
A well-drafted celebration script helps to capture the entire atmosphere of the event and divert the attention of guests from possible gaps in the design and other nuances.
For example, a wedding theme in the style of a pirate party is popular. You can easily organize it yourself using online resources for inspiration. You can beat the groom who kidnapped the girl with the intention of marrying her. Or go with your guests on a treasure hunt, complete unique quests and receive positive emotions and valuable gifts. In this case, drinks should include cola, rum and champagne, as well as non-alcoholic options for non-drinkers.
Menu planning tips
The main dishes at a sea-themed wedding should be seafood of any kind. It would also be appropriate to have sushi, mussels and other dishes of Japanese cuisine, because this country is located directly on the sea and has a rich arsenal of themed snacks. This approach will also appeal to connoisseurs of oriental cuisine among the guests, who are growing in number every year.
Rum, champagne, and cocktails are ideal for seafood cuisine. But do not forget that among the guests there may be non-drinkers. Therefore, it is also worth taking care of a non-alcoholic bar. In order to maintain a maritime atmosphere throughout the celebration, it is recommended to serve dishes in marine-themed plates. Dessert can be presented in the form of exotic fruits or a fruit plate. Sweets can be named in an original way and placed on a plate with them in the form of either a message in a bottle or aged paper. When decorating the table and menu, it is important not to forget about the predominance of white and blue colors.
Decorating and serving the cake
The wedding cake should also be decorated in a marine theme and blue and white colors. The addition of red flowers will help dilute the color palette. Cakes to order can be purchased in several options:
- individual portioned cakes for each invited guest. Decorations are made from mastic, marzipan and other edible dough options. Some offer 1 cake for the couple and treat guests to themed cupcakes;
- a traditional multi-tiered version of the cake with marine-themed decor. Edible pearls will help complement the ocean theme. The shape of the cake can be very different, ranging from a giant anchor to a huge pirate treasure island.
It is important to remember that the color palette of the wedding cake should fit organically into the overall concept of the wedding.
Marine style photo zone
An originally designed photo zone can be an addition to a wedding celebration in a nautical style. When holding a wedding on an open pond, photographs can be taken on the shore in natural conditions. An original solution would be a photo shoot on the bow of a ship or yacht while it is moving.
To give guests and the couple a place to relax, you can place small themed hammocks. A pirate hat or signs with funny and original inscriptions will be a useful accessory during a photo shoot.
If the ceremony is held indoors, for example in a restaurant, a photo zone can be organized outside in the fresh air. This idea is especially relevant in warm seasons. A variety of items related to the sea element will help you decorate your photo zone. The main background can be a sail. You can attach a dummy boat with the names of the young people on it.
Accommodation options
When choosing a location for a photo zone, it is important to consider the following factors:
- the place should be attractive;
- all details must be harmoniously combined with the overall style and correspond to the theme;
- it is desirable that the place does not stand out against the background of the wedding decoration;
- special attention should be paid to the selection of accessories.
The selection of the area for the photo is carried out so that those present can freely pose against the background without fear that, for example, fastening elements or a frame will get into the frame.
You should provide a comfortable place for the photographer, as well as create a spacious area for guests so that they do not stand in line.
You can place a wedding photo zone at the bride’s home. This will allow you to capture the moment when the groom comes to pick up his betrothed.
But more often you can see a separate area for photos in the restaurant where the celebration will be celebrated. In this case, not only the newlyweds, but also all the guests will be able to leisurely take memorable photographs. You can conduct a wedding photo shoot in an area that is located near the place where the buffet tables will be installed.
It is advisable to find a location that will not be an eyesore and interfere with the main fun. If the shooting area is located some distance from the banquet hall, it is worth notifying about it using special signs.
You can also allocate a separate place in nature, on the street, if an outdoor ceremony is being held. A swing or hanging chairs can be a great place for this.
