Nautical

Create a coastal love story with a blue and white accented wedding. Ocean Kave, North Devon has an unusual ceremony cave, a hop skip and a jump to a restaurant for the reception, all with alluring and heavenly vistas out to the wild Atlantic. A stunning setting with an intimate feel, in touching distance of the sea makes this an idyllic place to create memories.

Dreamy decor, think gold gilded mirrors, rustic wood, flickering candles, weather worn urns and metal, creates variation and interest with an elemental feel. Finishing touches include punchy blues contrasting with crisp whites, co-coordinating with the ensemble of the bride, groom and guests. To integrate a seaside chic feel, large urns filled with delphiniums, ruscus, eucalyptus, hydrangeas and roses are placed near the back of the ceremony area. This floral embellishment is dazzlingly different, being bold in colour and dynamic in shape. This colour blue could feel cold, but is warmed by the browns of the rustic table and cave walls. The luxurious gold mirror will also balance out the cool tones and radiates a sense of decadence and richness. A take on a nautical theme could two ways. Stay clear of the novelty decor of starfish and boat knick-knacks and look to being inspired by the textures and colours of the sea and surroundings for a subtle and sophisticated look.
