Lauren & Dan only had a couple of requests when it came to their wedding … that it be by the water and that it be nautically-inspired. Little Black Book favorites, Elizabeth & Karrie, at Posh Paperie took their thoughts and ran with it!

Add Lauren’s talented mother and Merilee at Ever After Events … and … they ended up with an elegantly designed wedding celebration that was simply fantastic!

Lots and lots of pretty … but my favorite thing? Hand-painted lanterns! (I could totally do that!)

Another fun thing? Lauren’s sister (and a friend) created chandeliers out of wine and champagne glasses. Pretty cool!



Now THIS is a sensational getaway!!

Our thanks to Merilee at Ever After Events and Garrett Photography for sharing this lovely nautical wedding with us! Congratulations to Lauren & Dan and once again … hats off to the moms behind so many of our very special weddings!!
You can see the rest of Lauren & Daniel’s gorgeous wedding invitation suite plus lots more of Posh Paperie’s beautiful invitations and all the other paper pieces that adorn their weddings on their website and blog!

Hey, this is a beautiful wedding. I would love to see more pictures of those chandeliers! Maybe even a DIY on how to make them??
Thanks!
I love this wedding especially the bridesmaid dresses. Who is the designer?
Love this wedding - fresh and modern.
Anyone have any info on the bm dresses? they're the perfect shade of blue!
Ditto for the flower girl dresses - would love to know who makes them!
The colors of navy blue and white blended well beautifully exuding an elegant ambiance on the whole wedding. Love the sophisticated decors in every detail of this grand event. Well done and bravo for such a wonderful wedding!!!
So pretty! We are using sapphire blue and linen/ivory as our colors as well. Love it. The bm dresses are gorgeous and I love the lollipops!
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
I love the bride's earrings. Any idea of where she got them?
The bridesmaid dresses are from Vineyard Collection by Priscilla of Boston, style 1508 in satin yoryu. They are truly that stunning in every color available!
Thank you for all the compliments! It was a beautiful event for a wonderful family!
I'm dying to see more pictures of those chandeliers... I'm a DIYer myself and would love to know how to make them! OH, and Bravo to the photographers... gorgeous!
Seems like I'm not the only one that came to the comments section to BEG for a DIY for those chandeliers! How beautiful!
Can you post a DIY or at least a few more pictures? Love!!
The lollies and the m&ms look so cute! That boat is really rich! Night air and sea breeze.. oh bliss.
The navy blue color certainly gives a royal feeling!
I was one of the bridesmaids and had the pleasure of attending this INCREDIBLE wedding.. beautiful couple on the inside and out! The bride's mom and sister are truly some of the most talented people out there, so so creative!! I will find out if they have more info. regarding the DIY chandeliers and get them to post on here!
Very crisp and cool!

LOVING that blue & white candy bar... getting all of your candy in the same color can definitely be a daunting task.. kudos to them, it turned out perfect!!!!
Bridesmaids dresses were Priscilla of Boston and the Flower Girl dresses were from US angels.
Thanks for the compliments everyone! Chelsea and I are Keen Events & Design, and we are actually the ones who made the chandeliers! They are currently available for rent! We're just starting out- so check us out at www.keenevent.blogspot.com for more info! We'd love to work with you on your big day!
Wow-It's amazing how they got everything to match.
I especially love how their invitations carried their theme all the way through. I love the idea of a flat invitation with a unique cut. I think they'd go really well with the clear address labels from Bachcroft which I'm using for my save the dates as well.
thanks for the post!
Navy is so classic, maybe even more so than black. It looks so amazing with the silver!
Love the lollipops! Where are they from??
I will use this color palette for my wedding.
Where can I find the navy-white stripped ribbon? thanks a lot!
I love the blue and white theme! Any pictures from the reception? Did you use blue for linens?
Thanks!
