Bravo CosplayHappy Everyday

The navy blue color is not for the weak of heart. It is a color that expresses strength, confidence, and calmness. It symbolizes both trust and truthfulness. It can also mean sadness or gloom, but the color blue generally represents a positive character, such as in the Western tradition, where the bridal custom of wearing “something blue” symbolizes love.

The color blue represents the blueprint of a successful marriage. Love is the groundwork; truthfulness builds up strength and confidence in the relationship and trust brings out the calmness when the marriage goes through rough sailing. In the 17^th century, the wedding favors colored blue were loosely pinned to the bridal gown and were plucked by the wedding guests and placed on the hats of young men to bring good luck.

The expression tying the “knot”, on the other hand, which means getting married, may have found its origin way back in the 13^th century from the word “cnotte” which also meant the tie or bond of wedlock.

While blue is also the color of the deep ocean, knot is the unit for measuring nautical miles. So both terms are interrelated when we refer to a nautical theme wedding. The venue for this momentous occasion can be right in the middle of the ocean inside a cruise ship or in the glittering dessert city of Las Vegas. Choosing a nautical wedding theme will always come out perfectly in any climate, place or background.

Starting from your wedding invitations, match blue with gold to signify royalty because you are both very special. The bride will always be resplendent in traditional white, and the groom and groomsmen will look dapper in their navy blue suits paired with white pants. The rest of the bridal entourage can wear gowns in rainbow colors to contrast the coolness of the blue. Match the wedding decors with the blue, white and gold theme at the reception hall. Choose from an array of bridal favors like pawa shells with gold plated designs that you can give away. Look for inexpensive brass lighthouse decors or lighthouse candle holders, or small wooden chest with chocolate gold coins. Tiny blue glass figurines in various sea animal designs will also make beautiful giveaways. The wedding fondant 3-layered cake can also come in dark blue color with cascading white flowers and gold tassel design. The ideas are endless and you can browse through the various websites for the best concept.
