Ahoy Sailor! Nautical Wedding Invitations

There's nothing quite like a fresh nautical invitation design to excite your guests for a Spring/Summer wedding on a dark winter's day.

Nautical designs are perfect for informal seaside wedding celebrations; choose neutral shades for a relaxed look or bold stripes and dark navy for more formal weddings with a touch of sophisticated military style. Here are some gorgeous designs I've spotted across the internet over the past couple of weeks.

Seaside Sparkle


I'll start with one of my own designs, I created this pretty design depicting a flock of seagulls flying in a heart shape for my sister's wedding in June this year. The design fitted perfectly with her Brighton seaside venue with outstanding views of the pebble beach and iconic pier.

Smart Stripes

I love the detail of the formal navy stripes on the inside of the envelope. This design does a wonderful job of bringing the various elements of the invitation (the envelope, invitation and RSVP cards) together in theme and style.

Tie the Knot

I love this clever and intricate design which has been a big hit on pinterest for a number of months  now. The design allows your guests to quite literally 'tie the knot' as they open the invitation. To add to the nautical feel I would use neutral rope or twine and a sea blue or navy card.

Sleek and Simple 

The simplicity of this nautical wedding invitation design with it's vibrant colour and simple anchor image is perfect for couples looking for an understated look and feel. 



Vintage Seaside 


Vintage designs have become hugely popular over the last year or so and this cute design with it's elegant vintage style fonts and playful touches of colour is just gorgeous.
