SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Nautical Prep

I love anything nautical and preppy. And navy blue is by far one of my favorite colors. I have actually even got it all planned out for my home office to-be in our new house. One wall... vertical navy blue stripes and the rest will just be solid navy. Anyway, my love for boating comes from my childhood. I grew up spending lots of weekends on my dad's yacht, "Nicole's Rainbow." (Named after a painting I drew of a boat in the river with rainbows and fish flying in the sky... which my dad then had a professional artist recreate to have put on the side of the boat.) I can remember my favorite place on the boat was sitting above where the anchor drops and I would dangle my feet over the edge while we rode around in the Willamette River. Such great memories. :) If I had some pictures here I would share but I think they are all back in my Portland home. Hope you enjoy this nautical prep wedding inspiration! I would love to someday work a wedding on a sailboat... now that would be amazing!
