We LOVED our pirate wedding reception (inspired by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride & first film)! Share your tips and photos. Here are ours...
· COLORS. Black/red or stripes can be tricky. We chose golds, browns, oranges, natural linens and fish netting for natural look
· VENUE: A wine cave, winery, ship, tavern or beach is ideal
· DÉCOR: Mix a lot of authentic décor (wood tables, gold candelabras, wine barrels) with fewer cheap props (foam skulls, plastic gold coins), or it’ll look cheesy. Shop: Amazon, eBay, thrift stores, rental vendors
· APPAREL: We went “pirate hints” ceremony to “full pirate” reception. Theme was a surprise so we asked guests to dress Boho or California casual. Halloween costumes can look tacky; we shopped eBay, Amazon or pirate/medieval shops for our reception outfits
· MUSIC: Violinists and accordionists are awesomely different
