Inspiration: Blue and Yellow

I did a lot of googling for navy and yellow or blue and yellow weddings, then did some cutting and pasting to put them together in inspiration boards. The combination feels nautical without the overboard red-white-blue theme, navy seems like an easy color for bridesmaids to wear again, and yellow feels fresh and cheery. I can't resist lemonade, sunflowers, and navy and white stripes.


Something Blue...

While I love the idea of brides wearing colorful shoes in general, blue has really caught my attention. On the practical side, I only accept the idea of shoes comfortable enough to dance in, because how else will you enjoy your reception? Thus, I share with you some of my favorites.
These shoes, "At Tiffany's" from Hey Lady, are inspired by dancing shoes and come in a variety of heights.  I love them because they look like something you could actually wear again, without screaming "wedding shoes".
The "Cassie" by RSVP can be found on Zappos. Inexpensive, low heel, and a striking resemblance to the Manolo's Carrie wears in Sex and the City. The "Stellina" by Me Too, also at Zappos. Who needs to trip over heels anyway?
Very Fine's ballroom dancing shoes are the ultimate in comfort. Coming from someone who can't even walk in heels, I can attest these are more comfortable than most of my flats. These are the C6005. Also from Very Fine, this pair is the SERA1154.


Welcome!

Hey sailors,

Welcome to my new nautically inclined wedding blog! I plan to cover all things bridal, so please excuse the fact that not all posts will directly include sailing. I am more aiming for the sailor style - New England salt/prep.
