a nautical bridal shower

As if the last two weekends were not eventful enough (puppy then moving) this past weekend got even more exciting with Jenna's bridal showers on Saturday and Sunday! In honor of her Maine honeymoon, I thought it would be fun for the bridesmaids to host a nautical themed shower (not that I'm obsessed with nautical themes or anything...). 

Snippet & Ink always has incredible inspiration boards based on color, mood, location and theme. I thought this Seaside board was especially impressive:

Jenna's maid of honor, Brittany, made these precious invitations:

Here are a few more sweet sea-themed invitation ideas:

I've always felt that love is in the details and hopefully Jenna will feel extremely loved by all the details we tried to incorporate into her shower!

 Isn't this boat table and lawn seating so charming?

And lastly, who's to say a theme shouldn't go all the way to your toes (or fingers for that matter)?

For even more sea-side inspiration you can check out this nautical getaway or sail away into love. And come back tomorrow for pictures from Jenna's bridal shower!
