Nautical Weddings and Beach Weddings

Nautical seems to be dark blues and whites, with occasional reds or yellows added to the mix.

It's sail boats, ropes, shells, sea glass, message in a bottle, oars, anchors, life preservers ....

Here are a few of my favorite Nautical looks -

From PRLOG

--

Rope idea from Pizzazzerie

--

and from Style Me Pretty

--

Lovely look of fishing floats like this one from Easy

--

and these (and other great looks) from Inspire My Weddings

--

There is a great look at Found

--

Love this rope and the other great looks from Volunteer Princess

--

This is among the great looks at Weddingomania

--

How about a message in a bottle like this from The Party Press

More Nautical ideas can be found at Milestones Photography and Style Me Pretty.

It seems that nautical is more boats and harbor ..., the sailor look.
And beach is more sand and shells.
But the two can mix and match nicely.

This wedding from Wed Loft has some great beach wedding ideas,

--

Love this look from Wedding Chicks





--

Confetti Day Dreams has some (30) great looks for a beach wedding, like these

--

This shell garland from Once Wed is a great look.

--

a lovely look from here

--

This set up is from Port Angeles Weddings

--

Shell picks from Easy



--

A great favor idea from Tiki Master



or from here

--

The beach is a large open area, with a beautiful ocean backdrop for the bride and groom,
from here

--

 but sometimes a "framed" area like this one from here, gives the eye a place to focus

--

Beach balls are appropriate and exciting for a beach wedding.  I love this idea from Every Last Detail, using several small beach balls. I've seen and posted this look before here where they use the larger balls.  The two sizes could even be combined for a fun time.

How about a lined pathway to the special beach area -  a great look, from Bella Beach Weddings

Pink and Gold and Silver

More pink?  Yip! and this time it has gold and silver with it.  Ever wondered if you could use gold and silver in the same decor?  

*****

Here is more gold - a lovely look from Celebrations at Home
This look adds blue (and of course the green and white from the flowers), but those could be traded out for pinks.  I'd love to have seen this in person.

Beautiful Blue Stuff

Stuff I'm lovin'

Just take a look at these Beautiful Blues.

A lovely look - Blue and Pink (and white) from Daisy Pink Cupcake

---

From Paint Me White

---

Blue Kitchen from House of Turquoise



Or maybe blue walls would appeal to you more than blue cupboards.  From House of Turquoise.
And, how about two refrigerators right in the kitchen?  Great idea if you have space enough for it.

and it doesn't look like this place is hurting too much for space

Just a touch of blue from House of Turquoise



---

There are so many shades of blue ... lovely shades ... and many look nice together.



and look at these two colors of blue



- - -

from House to Home

from Etsy

from Green Wedding Shoes

 These blues (with the white) are a beautiful combination of nature.
from The Perfect Palette

So lovely!

A Beautiful Room

This is lovely - from House of Turquoise 

the colors seem so relaxing, the soft blue (is it robin egg or??) and the khaki or wicker color and the white ... lovely with the crystal and the gold on the chandelier. 

I often wonder how I would feel living in a house with such colorful walls.  Would I feel the same as I feel when I see it in a photo?  Maybe I'll have to try it sometime.

Soft and Relaxing Color

Tiffany Blue, Turquoise, Ocean Blue, whatever the color, it's very relaxing.
Isn't it lovely!
From Design Dazzle

A Couple Blue Backdrops

Birds on Blue from Emmaline Bride

When I first saw this I thought it was white stencil flowers or scrolls on the blue stripes. I took a longer look and found it was simply shadow and sunshine from the trees. 

I'm sorry that I can't find this site - the link I saved was somehow broken - sorry if it is my fault - I'll keep my eyes open for where I found it and come back and give the correct source.

White and Turquoise Living / Decor by Color

This look intrigues me.  I love the simple lines, the outdoor dining area under a shady tree surrounded by three walls - cool white walls with the beautiful turquoise color doors - it looks like a great escape. 

This look comes from 79ideas

--

I've been checking out 79ideas for several weeks now.  I looked at it, created the above portion of this post, and then went to the next blogs I read and somewhere (I don't even remember where) I found House of Turquoise on a bloglist.  I thought it a bit ironic though that I would find it on the same day.  It seems to fit though.

 House of Turquoise blogs about things turquoise - easy as that - so I saw more lovely turquoise decor.

She even has a shop - Everything Turquoise 

Lovin' that color!

Speaking of color, she also has other blogs - Decor by Color
where she searches the web for items of color - "the products you want in the colors you love"

--

Um! I thought my post on Turquoise was done ... but then ....
Okay, the same day still, after saving my turquoise post, I found another site with turquoise color - - - somethings going on here.  I'm just going thru my Reader and coming up with all this on one day.  Kinda freakin' me out a bit - what am I missing?  I didn't get any memo to blog about turquoise ... oh no! ... but I am now bloggin about turquoise ... wow! ... my head is spinning!
 Pink Wallpaper got the memo about the Turquoise posts and put up some great looks ...

--
Okay, now I plan on ending this post right here ..., but ...,  if I get reading more and find more turquoise I am really going to be wondering what is going on.   Don't worry ... I'll return and this post will continue if I find more, but if not, assume that I'm back to normal and the turquoise thing is over.  Lovely while it lasted, but over!

--

Guess What?  Are these doors from Roadkill Rescue turquoise?

--

I still haven't found a memo!
I've only got a couple more blogs, so I could be ending here ?!?!?!?!

Rustic Beauty

To me, this board from Utterly Engaged could easily be titled "Rustic Beauty". I like it all, though I would have probably angled the tag instead of leaving it horizontal...just my preference..., but everything else is quite lovely to me.

Bouquets of Beauty

Beautiful Spring in this bouquet I saw on
Between Naps on the Porch



While searching the site the Porch suggested I found this
Beautiful with Blue bouquet HERE



I noticed that the color behind the bouquet is what adds most to the bouquet itself.


Always love flowers so Pretty in Pink
