Using a wedding color palette of navy blue, white and bright yellow (Sound familiar? These were my wedding colors, too!), this wedding was designed by Your Day Your Way to reflect the bride and groom, Cindy and Jeff's personalities and personal tastes. The couple wanted a waterfront event that was "Preppy, classy and fun," which naturally gave way to the distinctive "Nautical chic" theme of the day. The wedding ceremony was held seaside overlooking the beautiful Chesapeake Bay at the Silver Swan Bayside in the Queen Anne Marina located in Stevensville, Maryland. I really love the peaceful setting and the simplicity of the ceremony setup with white garden chairs decorated with bunches of white hydrangeas in mason jars and tied with yellow ribbon.
The bride wore a gown by Priscilla of Boston , and each of her bridesmaids wore blue dresses by J.Crew and held bouquets of strikingly bright yellow roses. Jeff and his groomsmen definitely had the nautical look down pat with printed ties by Vineyard Vines , navy blue blazers, khakis and Sperry Topsiders . The ceremony was followed by an seaside cocktail hour, and then guests were invited inside for an evening reception. The reception venue was equally as beautiful as the outdoor setting, decorated with navy blue linens topped with arrangements of "White and fluffy flowers" placed inside mason jars for a more "rustic, nautical touch." After sending off the newly married couple with sparklers in hand, guests went home with custom made navy blue koozies as wedding favors, and bags of sweets from the candy bar set up at the reception.
