Navy & White - Nautical Theme Luncheon

Ahoy Sailor! Nautical is such a versatile theme, the navy and white colour scheme can be adapted to weddings, engagements, birthday parties, baby showers and kids parties by making the theme subtle or bold, or adding additional touches of silver, gold or red.

Table Setting

Nautical Luncheon by Lovely Occasions & Styled Events

Table Linen: The linen you use will also set the tone for the event. Use cotton, satin, linen or sequin material to create a glam or casual table setting.

As this was an intimate family afternoon luncheon, I used a crisp white cotton tablecloth and a linen navy striped table runner overlay.

(Alternatives: Navy striped cotton tablecloth; Plain navy cotton tablecloth with chevron silver sequin table runner)

Tablescape: A beautifully set table creates a atmosphere and taking point for your guests.

I used glass charger plates with silver rope detail, white china crockery and silver cutlery.

(Alternatives: DIY rope charger plates; Silver Plastic charger plates; and for casual events, Navy paper plates)

Placecards: Make your guests feel special with personalised placecards.

Sailor hats; Paper origami sailboats or printed tent cards will give your table a move completed look.

Centrepiece: You can't go wrong with fresh flowers on a table, but to keep the costs down you can use silk flowers, or forgo the florals and use candles, seashells and beach sand in a vase with rope detail.
