Encourage guests to embrace coastal grandmother style with their attire. Suggested dress code includes blue and white outfits, nautical stripes, linen dresses and pants, preppy classics like button-downs and blazers, straw hats and wicker accessories, espadrilles or boat shoes, pearl jewelry, and classic Americana pieces.

This creates cohesive photo opportunities and enhances the overall coastal grandmother aesthetic of your bridal shower celebration.
Nautical & Beach Bridal Shower Themes vs. Coastal Grandmother
While related, coastal grandmother aesthetic differs from traditional nautical or beach themes. Traditional nautical themes feature anchors, ropes, sailor motifs, and bold navy and red. Beach themes include seashells, starfish, sand, and tropical elements. Coastal Grandmother aesthetic is more sophisticated and refined—it embraces subtle nautical nods through stripes and navy blue, but focuses on timeless elegance, classic New England style, preppy sophistication, and effortless coastal living rather than obvious beach or sailor motifs. It's the elevated, grown-up version of coastal celebration.
