Option 1: Classic Nautical with Earthy Accents

• Primary Colors: Black and White
• Accent Colors: Deep Teal (evokes the ocean), Sage Green (earthy and complements teal), Sandy Beige (beachy feel), Charcoal Gray (sophisticated neutral)

This palette maintains the black and white base while introducing rich, natural tones that reflect the harbor setting. The deep teal adds a nautical touch without being overly literal, while sage green and sandy beige provide the desired earthiness. Charcoal gray adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, tying the palette together. Consider using white linens with black accents, teal napkins, sage green centerpieces, and sandy beige place cards.

Option 2: Modern Nautical with Mauve Undertones

• Primary Colors: Black and White
• Accent Colors: Dusty Mauve (soft and romantic), Navy Blue (classic nautical), Seafoam Green (light and airy), Silver (adds shimmer and sophistication)

This option incorporates your love for mauve while maintaining a modern and elegant feel. Dusty mauve adds a soft, romantic touch, complementing the navy blue and seafoam green. Silver accents add a touch of glamour, perfect for a harbor wedding. Imagine white chairs with navy blue cushions, mauve table runners, seafoam green floral arrangements, and silver candle holders.

Option 3: Rustic Nautical with Green Emphasis

• Primary Colors: Black and White
• Accent Colors: Deep Forest Green (rich and earthy), Oyster White (creamy white), Driftwood Brown (natural and textured), Navy Blue (subtle nautical hint)

This palette leans towards a more rustic and natural feel. The deep forest green is prominent, reflecting the outdoor setting, while oyster white softens the overall look. Driftwood brown adds texture and warmth, and navy blue provides a subtle nod to the nautical theme. Think of white wooden tables with forest green runners, driftwood accents, and navy blue details in the stationery.

• Accent Colors: Various shades of Blue (from deep navy to light sky blue), Silver (adds a touch of sparkle)

This option focuses on a sophisticated monochromatic base with varying shades of blue to represent the harbor. The different shades of blue create visual interest without overwhelming the black and white. Silver accents add a touch of elegance and sophistication. This palette is perfect for a minimalist or modern wedding.
