Message in a Bottle (not the song)

It's always so refreshing when a bride is looking for something different for her wedding invitations.

One of my clients recently requested an invitation that doesn't require an envelope.  At first box invitations came to mind. But after discussing the concept for the wedding, the conclusion was very logical - message in a bottle invitations!

 
















The wedding ceremony is set for a beautiful outdoor venue on the south coast of Barbados, and the celebration continues with a catamaran cruise for cocktails. The bride chose their favourite colours for the celebration - navy blue and fuchsia.

A "sea" of navy chevron stripes with a pretty pink nautilus shell floating, works as the base for the invitations.  Each bottle is stopped with a wooden cork and bears a fuchsia scalloped-edge tag personalized with guest names.

This was definitely a fun project to work on!
