Nautical Wedding Inspiration

We supply nautical wedding decor for lots of brides and grooms every year. We're so lucky that we get to meet and work with so many different couples. Each couple has their own style and we love to see all the different ways people use our knots - like the lobster bake themed rehearsal dinner above!

We gathered up some images for you from our Instagram feed and from some of our customers to give you some ideas for your nautical wedding or nautical-themed party.

Calligraphy

Whether it's done by a professional or you do it yourself, hand lettering adds a warm, romantic touch to a nautical theme.

I love this one!!! Repost from @heathermarieinthemaking using @RepostRegramApp - Work is cancelled tomorrow for the 1st snow day of the season! ☃️ While I’m not a huge fan of shoveling I’m excited to have a free day to work on some projects at home! Slowly but surely I’m reviewing all of the wedding vendors we worked with over the summer... spoiler alert: they were all amazing! 🤗 I’m really happy we found some great New England based businesses through process of planning our wedding! 👰🏼🤵🏻💗🌸 (📷 @lexnelsonphoto ) #weddingwednesday #centerpiece #tablescape #coastalwedding

Formal Styling

Many of our brides choose a more traditional approach, choosing to have their table and place cards professionally printed. Doesn't this style look like it would fit in perfectly at a Coast Guard or Navy wedding?

Another wedding idea, our mini monkey fist card holders #nauticalknot #nauticalwedding #weddingideas #beachwedding #tietheknot #monkeyfist #monkeyknot #weddingknot #seasidewedding #weddingfavors #americanmade #madewithlove #madeintheusa #madeinmystic

Natural

Rope and knotwork also work well with more natural styling. Lots of green leaves, shells and natural wood take our knots in a more rustic direction which is also really beautiful.

Our knots are the perfect touch for #nautical #weddings #nauticalwedding #monkeyknot #nauticalknot #tietheknot #sweethearttable #seasidewedding #beachwedding #weddingideas #weddinginspiration #ropeknot #monkeyfist

Thanks for the beautiful picture! Repost from @swellanchor using @RepostRegramApp - One of my favorite September weddings from this year! Sarahrose + Zyad were amazing to work with and they chose some of my favorite Long Island businesses.
