Wedding dress for the bride and suit for the groom in the style of "Scarlet Sails"
As you know, the main character of the romantic story "Scarlet Sails" was the captain of the ship. Such a suit will beautify any man. Robe can be bought, sewn, or rented.

- dark blue men's suit;
- gold buttons;
- thread and needle;
- gold braid;
- boutonniere;
- cap, if available.
If there is no suitable headgear, you can do without it or buy one. Carefully peel off the buttons from the jacket and sew in gold. Measure the width of the sleeves at the bottom, divide the number in half and, according to these measurements, cut 2 strips of braid each. Sew them onto the top of one and the other cuff.
Pants will be from the same suit. The image will be complemented by a boutonniere. You will soon find out how to do it, but for now, look at the possible options for the bride's outfit.
Her white wedding dress is in perfect harmony with the captain's costume. This small veil is made in the form of a veil, which is sewn onto artificial flowers made of fabric. To keep such a headdress well, sew a wide hoop with a white cloth and sew a light flower here, and then a veil.
To trace the style of the story "Scarlet Sails", complement the image of the bride with red shoes, the groom - with a boutonniere where this color is present. Tie the bride's bouquet with a scarlet ribbon.
The combination of white and red looks advantageous, and a “Scarlet Sails” style wedding implies such colors. If the bride wishes, she can wear a light dress with a red train that day.
If the newlywed wants to have just a red dress, let her choose one that she likes and will fit perfectly on the figure. It could be a fluffy dress.
Pay attention to the model on the left. Such a dress implies the presence of a petticoat. The right robe has an original long skirt to the floor. The dresses are created on the basis of corsets, which make the waist thinner and the chest higher. The next dress is also fluffy, but without a petticoat.
For owners of ideal figures, wedding sheath dresses that fit the hips are suitable.
You can sew a wedding dress with a year skirt.
For her, you need to reshape the pattern. The skirt is made of several gussets that are sewn together. Then it is sewn to the bodice, which consists of a shelf (front part) and a back.
Of course, the bride must have a bouquet. If you like a Scarlet Sails wedding, then it should consist of red flowers. Roses are best suited for this, but other flowers of this color can be used.
How to decorate a hall for a wedding in the Scarlet Sails style?
It should also be done in red. To trace the nautical theme, put blue bottles and bottles on the tables.
To make the guests immediately understand where they are, hang red curtains in the opening. They need to be opened slightly and tied up with grabs.
Place clear blue glass vases and bottles on the tables. Place pretty large seashells to create a nautical room.
In glass containers of this type, red flowers look great, it can be roses, carnations or others. Blue and white napkins will also come in handy.
You can also place treated painted branches on the tables, which will symbolize sea corals.
Hang posters on the walls showing ships and yachts with scarlet sails. To make all guests happy, prepare nice souvenirs on this topic for them in advance. As you can see, the basis of these presentations is made in light colors. To make such a notebook, you need to cover it with white design paper, glue it from the inside. Make a bow from a wide satin ribbon, attach a shiny button or pebble in the center. Other accessories are made in the same way.
The guest will be pleased to receive a beautiful napkin, make it out of white linen, hemmed with lace. Roll the napkin into a kind of sausage and tie it with a thin red satin ribbon. Also attach a small shiny accessory in the center.
Sewing a pillow with your own hands will also not be difficult. Take a white satin for this, which looks spectacular and shimmers in the light. Fold a rectangle of this fabric in half with the right sides facing each other and sew along the edge. Cut a strip out of the wide satin ribbon. To make it turn into a bow, before stitching the sides, you need to put the ends of this satin ribbon into the seams and attach a shiny button in the center.
Now it remains to close the remaining gap by stitching this sidewall with a blind seam on the hands.
The basket is also a great gift. It can be woven from wire, from a vine. Place foam rubber inside and outside the basket and lining it with a white cloth. The red bow will also be in perfect harmony with this canvas.
The guest will also need to present a gift to the newlyweds. For the present to be in the same style, give the young people, in addition to money, such a wonderful ship with scarlet sails.
Such a ship consists of transparent fabric and candy. This is an original and stylish gift. To make a ship out of candy, you will need:
- elongated wicker basket;
- Styrofoam;
- mosquito net or transparent red cloth;
- wooden skewers of different sizes;
- glue;
- Scotch.
This master class shows how to make a ship, but in blue. You will be using red materials.
Cut two types of paper and the net into squares with sides of 12 cm. Place the red diagonally on the transparent paper.
This will be the first kind of petals. To make the second, join the net and transparent paper in the same way. Also attach a skewer to this workpiece.
Here's how to make a candy ship next. Cut a piece out of the foam to fit the bottom of the basket and place it in this container. Now you need to stick the just made blanks into the foam. Finish the outer edge first. Here you need to attach flowers made of transparent and red paper. Decorate the second row with transparent paper and mesh elements. Alternating rows in this way, cover the entire surface in this way.
Wrap the candy in red mesh and clear paper. You can use satin ribbon squares for this. Attach a wooden skewer to each piece and rewind with thread. Now you need to stick these sweet blanks between the created floral elements.
As you can see, it remains to make the masts. To do this, you need to take the three largest skewers. For the first mast, you need to fold two squares of red and transparent paper. For the 2nd and 3rd? three squares of transparent and red paper.
Now it is important to set the sails correctly. The big one will be at the bottom, the small one at the top, and the middle one in the middle. Take red paper and cut flags out of it. They need to be attached with glue to the top of the mast. Use a red thread to tie the previously created cones 1 and 2 to the second and third mast.
These cones are made of red and transparent paper. Then they are glued. And the thread that is tied to them should be tight. Such a gift will come in handy if you are invited to a wedding on the theme "Scarlet Sails". He will also give an idea of what the groom will use to go after his bride. Of course, the ideal option would be to rent a ship with scarlet sails.
But not everyone has this opportunity. If not, then even a small boat will do. You need to attach a triangular sail to it.
If the holiday takes place on the shore and there is no reservoir nearby, in order to observe the theme of the wedding scarlet sails, attach small ones to the car. The bride and guests will certainly appreciate the spectacular appearance of the groom on a ship, boat or in a car decorated in this way.

If the holiday takes place outside the city, you can bake fish on the grill.
Do not ignore the sweet table. The cakes are made in red and white colors.
Make them tiered. This one is decorated with white mastic, and the flowers for him are made of red. First, individual petals are created, and then they are collected to make lush roses. The next cake, on the contrary, assumes the presence of white flowers on a red background.
Such small light-colored flowers also look great. If you want to have not one big cake, but several small ones, then you can put each on a certain table.
These cakes are made of two tiers and covered with white mastic. The top of each sweet is decorated with a red bow made of red mastic.
You can make a tall cake, prepare the bottom cakes so that they are square. And the top ones are round. In this case, there are two large square cakes at the bottom, and 3 round cakes at the top. The wedding cake is decorated with scarlet roses.
How to make a boutonniere for a wedding in the Scarlet Sails style?
Now the promised master class that will teach you how to make this accessory for a man's wedding suit.
To match this boutonniere with the theme of the wedding, make the petals from red rather than pink fabric. Here's what you need:
- red silk;
- green taffeta;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- a set of buns;
- tape tape or corrugated paper;
- acrylic paint;
- candle;
- brush;
- Javana paint;
- floristic wire;
- PVA glue;
- gelatin and a container for its dissolution.
Look at the photo in which you will see how to make a pattern for the blanks, how many you need.
First, you need to make the fabric more dense. To do this, put three teaspoons of gelatin in a glass of cold water and let it swell for half an hour. Now melt the mixture over low heat. Cool it until warm and add a tablespoon of PVA here, stir. Put a cloth in this mass so that it is well saturated. Hang the fabric to dry.
While this is happening, cut the sepals and leaves out of the green taffeta. When the silk dries, you need to cut off a strip from it and cut out the petals from it.
For the petals to have several shades, use white silk. At this stage, half of each petal needs to be colored using pink paint. To make it fit better, first dip the petal in water, moisten it.
Leave these blanks to dry.
These will be petals of the first kind. Now cut out petals of the second and other types. Also moisten them with water, remove excess moisture and paint with green paint.
Place these blanks on paper. Using a brush, paint over the edge of the petal with pink paint.
As for the pink petals, their outline must be covered with green paint.
Place the dyed petals on paper or cloth to dry.
This is what dyed and dried petals look like.
Now we need to tackle the petals number two and three. They need to be cut obliquely.
Proceeding in the same way as with the original petals, color the data and dry it.
Now you need to give the petals a concave shape. To do this, first take the blanks under number 1, put them on a soft surface and give the desired shape to the bud.
Cut a strip from the corrugated green paper, its width is slightly less than 1 cm. Cut three pieces of 12 cm from the wire and cover each with corrugated paper.
The resulting buds must be covered with acrylic paint and a loop is made at the tip of each wire. Now coat the bottom of the petal with glue. Roll each petal tightly into the loop. This will glue the number one petal. The rest need to be glued around it. Collect three buds from the petals indicated at number one. Each should contain 10 such blanks.
A wedding in the "Scarlet Sails" style will be simply wonderful if every detail of the groom's suit is provided. And if such a hand-made boutonniere is presented to him by the bride, he will definitely appreciate this present.
Take the petals number 2 and the bulka one size larger than the previous one, work with it from the wrong side.
Now you need to glue two petals of the second type. Attach them at the bottom edge. Then you need to glue these petals to the bud. Around each bud, you need to attach 5 pieces of such paired petals. Punch a hole in the center of the cut sepal and pass the bud through.
Secure the sepal with a hot glue gun, then shape the tips of the sepals and burn them over the candle.
Now you need to glue the bud with pink petals.
First, you need to give them a shape with the help of chopping. Bend the wire in half and glue a petal to the tip of each half.
With a nozzle called a penny, make grooves on each petal so that they become realistic. The edges of the petals must be burned over a burning candle.
Glue two petals to the bud and then to the flower. And the rest of the petals must be glued to the flower one at a time.
A boutonniere consisting of one rose and two buds is ready.
You can make it simpler to include only one blooming flower.
