We're so excited to bring you a project we worked on last year with a fantastic group of vendors. Living by the beach we see so many bride and groom couples incorporating a nautical theme to their big day. Along with Theresa Furey Photography , we decided to create a styled shoot that was a hint toward the popular nautical theme but shows that it doesn't have to be all anchors and rope. We have given nautical a more fine art edge, while keeping it soft and feminine. This particular shoot is based on a seafarer story found in a poem "Secret of the Sea" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It's a poem from 1850 about a seafarer and someone longing for their love who's been away at sea for some time. With rustic beach elements and including the sand and grass backdrop, we incorporated soft calligraphy and delicate diamonds as wedding inspiration...

Sadness abounds in this 'Secret of the Sea' wedding inspiration brought to you by Wedding Sparrow . A beautiful and lonely bride wonders the beach awaiting the return of her darling husband-to-be. Hypnotic, powerful, and definitely not your run of the mill beach wedding ideas. This shoot spins a sorrowful tale that we guarantee you will not be able to get enough of. We highly suggest you take a little time to check out the f ull gallery below of these beach wedding ideas. It is packed with even more magnificent melancholy details captured by Theresa Furey Photography .
