Navy is the new black. Yep. Navy suits and tuxedos are becoming a lot more popular than black. Same with navy bridesmaids dresses instead of black ones for a formal wedding. A black tie formal affair doesn’t mean that everyone has to wear literally….black. A saturated navy is a beautiful update to a stiff black. Since it’s still a dark color, I recommend matching it with a softer hue, like a pretty light mint.
The contrast between the pastel mint and the dark navy creates a lovely combination that lends itself to a variety of aesthetics. Add some metallic elemetnts for a contemporary, modern look. Use natural florals and white washed wood for a beachy, rustic look, or DIY heart confetti on the tables and throw around some glitter for a whimsical celebration.
I have pulled together a list of my favorite navy and mint wedding decor items. From dramatic decor, like paper lanterns and balloons, to smaller touches, like votives and straws, you can shop it all in this list!
I like to cluster these Navy Paper Lanterns together in big groups instead of hung individually. They take up more space and make an art installation that way.
I’m envisioning a small, lucite box of these pretty (and tasty!) Sparkling Turquoise Chocolate Candies at each place setting. Such a nice way to welcome your loved ones to dinner.
