When we decide for a themed wedding, we are aiming to set the tone for the whole series of events, from decorating the reception hall to the finest detail as a wedding ring pillow.
Combination of classic white with navy blue is easy on the eyes and gives plenty of opportunities to express your creativity with accessories. It's up to you how far will you go.
You can choose seafood for your wedding party or opt only for embroidered life preservers on the napkins. But in any case everything will start with invitations. All right, with save the dates, actually, but the part with invites is the one where things become really serious. If not before, you have to choose a theme by then and from then on you have to stick with it.
Sending nautical wedding invitations can be great start into magical experience of the biggest day in your life. There are so many emotions involved, you simply can't pay attention to every single detail, but with few general guidelines and enough time for preparation, everything should be running smoothly and every minor disturbance will be likely solved without a hassle.

What is your favorite element in nautical themed wedding?
I dn't think so. Common sense should be enough. And common sense advices against exaggeration.
My leave-time for an errand conflicted with my consideration of nautical-themed postage stamps for wedding-party invitations.
Does any etiquette recommend that all postage stamps be the same?
Or, if it's okay to affix nautical-themed postage stamps, would it suggest that there could be different special stamps for different people?
This following-mentioned stamp, as an example, only would be available, as far as I can tell, in Denmark or such Danish possessions as the Faroe Islands and Greenland. But for instance, someone particularly admiratory of Andreas William Heinesen would appreciate one of the latter's postage stamps or a commemorative stamp in his honor. But perhaps others with other favorites would appreciate other postage-stamp options.
Ragnar jonasson and Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir, in their recently co-authored Reykjavik: A Crime Story, consider among historical figures from the 1950s to 1980s timespan of their characters poet Elias Mar.
The Faroese Island author and postage-stamp artist Andreas William Heinesen figures among those who influenced Elias Mar.
So islands and stamps, Faroese and Icelandic, made me think of your nautical-themed wedding-party components!
Would it be within nautical-themed etiquette to use nautical-themed postage stamps on the wedding-party invitations?
The JimmyGreen website lists as traditional nautical-rope colors blue, white and red.
It mentions white for mainsail halyard, blue or blue and white for headsail sheets and halyard and red or red and white for halyard and spinnaker sheets.
Would there be any wedding-party etiquette regarding integrating such colors?
The colors would seem to me to cooperate with the other colors that you write about -- "At nautical weddings use a lot of white and blue colors with a pinch of gold, yellow, orange or brown" -- under the third paragraph to your first subheading, Symbols, typical for nautical (navy) theme, wouldn't they?
The rope image just above the second subheading, How to properly write a wedding invitation, convinces me of the beautiful teamwork of white rope with other nautical-themed wedding-party colors.
But then I found the JimmyGreen website about color-coding ropes!
Is there any etiquette for rope colors?
This wizzley is timeless in its applicability even as nautical-themed wedding parties easily can be adapted to all last half of the year's holidays, from Memorial Day to July 4 to Labor Day to Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas and to New Year.
So what surfaces here for nautical-themed weddings will work -- with minimal add-ons and adjustments -- just as appealingly, nicely, relevantly, seamlessly, timelessly as any one of the above-mentioned holidays.
Boat themes work with them, even Halloween, as evidenced by the enduring appeal of the film Nosferatu by Werner Herzog, right?
Blue-and-white nautical-themed wedding parties appeal to me.
And yet I also appreciate the supportive colors that can be had with other sea-world colors for background aesthetics.
It can be comforting, predictable or soporific with two colors everywhere one looks.
It might be a little energizing -- not too much ;-{ though, correct? -- to have other sea-world colors such as big-island Hawaii red, Kahoolawe gray, Kauai purple, Lanai orange, Maui pink, Molokai green and Oahu yellow particularly as individual setting and table centerpiece Hawaiian myrtle, beach-heliotrope, green-berry, orange-and-yellow air-plant, pink cottage-rose, and golden-mallow flowers and as Niihau white cowrey-shell invitation and napkin holders.
The Nutrition Advance website convinces me that sea vegetables deserve to be considered among wedding-party fare.
The attractive, healthy native Hawaiian examples persuade me that the Hawaiian islands serve as traditional models for wedding-party happiness and success.
The University of Hawaii Botany Department reveals as additionally attractive, healthy edibles limu palahalaha (Ulva fasciata) in light soups and with fish dishes.
All this user-friendliness on the part of the Hawaiian university system would make it so easy, so fun, so healthy to make a wedding party not only nautical-themed but specifically Hawaiian nautical-themed, right?
Nutrition Advance enters among its 14 sea vegetables the ahi limu species of the Hawaiian islands.
Hawaiian red algae as ahi limu (Gracilaria coronopifolia, Gracilaria parvispora) and as limu kohu ("seaweed pleasing" literally, Asparagopsis taxiformis) feature fresh or as diced appetizers with fish or as diced main dishes with fish in salads, soups and stews.
This type of Hawaiian red algae serves more as condiments than as ingredients or standalones.
Their color really would prettify wedding-party fare and tables, correct?
Irish moss appears among the 14 sea vegetables on the Nutrition Advance website.
The common name (Chondrus crispus) attracts me even as its cultivation areas off Canada, Ireland, Spain, United Kingdom and United States augment my attentiveness even further, even more.
Irish moss counts among red algae. It functions more as a carrageenan-thickening, fibrous, mineral, polyphenol, protein and vitamin source within soups, stews and stocks.
It lends purple redness to its foods. That might be quite an attractive addition to wedding-party tables and quite a delicious rendition to seafood soups, stews and stocks, correct?
