Melissa & Ben’s Nautical Wedding Shower

A few months ago, Kristy contacted me about doing a nautical-themed wedding shower brunch for her sister Melissa.  We knew that a classy navy shade was essential, and after talking with the bride-to-be, Kristy decided on… lime!  After finishing up Sara & Nathan’s wedding, I was thrilled to work with this color palette again, and excited to put together a chic, nautical shower for Melissa & Ben.

The “tying the knot” invitations feature nautical navy stripes, with lime script and nautical details.  The invitation cards are wrapped in gorgeous textured navy cardstock, tied with a simple rope knot, and labeled with a custom nautical-style monogram.

A monogrammed life-preserver ring greets guests at the door and sets the theme for Melissa and Ben’s celebration.

A personalized banner (tied with rope) hangs over the gift table.

Tissue hydrangea bouquets pull the navy and lime color palette around the party space.

Sailboat pastry picks adorn Kristy’s yummy brunch treats.

Guests are treated to a monogrammed jar of lifesavers, and a donation in their name to save lives through clean water projects in Africa.  Kristy is always excited to do a giving favor, and I love it.

We created a set of thank you cards for the future bride and groom, complete with their signature monogram design.

Best wishes, Melissa & Ben!  (And thanks for designing with me again, Kristy!)  Want to save lives too?  Check out Living Water International.
