Stripe Satin Table Runner - Navy Blue & White
Create a Strong Base
Set the tone for your nautical theme with a navy blue tablecloth from CV Linens™. This classic color grounds the entire setup and works beautifully with lighter accents. Layer in complementary pieces from the color navy blue collection to create dimension and keep the table from feeling flat. You can also explore wholesale tablecloths for more options to complete your nautical look.
Bring in Nautical Accents
Maritime touches are what really bring this theme to life. Use natural rope to wrap around glass lanterns or vases, filling them with sand, seashells, or candles to create nautical centerpieces.
If you want to add a refined touch, consider adding charger plates. Their extra layer elevates the look while still feeling casual and inviting.
Small Details Make a Big Difference
For added personality, include napkins in navy or white. Tie them with twine and slip in a small anchor charm or greenery sprig to match your nautical theme. These small details show Dad and your guests how much you care.
Cozy Lighting
Lighting can make your dinner feel warm and welcoming. Fill small glass bottles with sand and tea lights to create charming DIY lanterns. These soft lights add a gentle glow and complement the ocean vibe of your nautical dinner decor.
Finishing Touches
Scatter small starfish or shells down the middle of the table to bring it all together. This final layer of decor adds texture and movement without cluttering the table.
If you want to elevate the look further, browse centerpieces that work beautifully with your nautical theme and ensure the table stays easy to manage.
