When Taylor and Mike first reached out about working together, they said the most important design element to keep in the foreground was simply their love for Maine- and showing it off to all of their family and friends. Their venue, The Breakwater Inn & Spa in Kennebunkport, is one of Maine’s oldest (and most idyllic) inns, and it set the tone for their celebration perfectly.

Together, we created a custom watercolor map of all of Taylor and Mike’s favorite places in Kennebunkport, including Nonantum Resort, Mabel’s Lobster Claw, Old Vines Wine Bar, and The Tides Beach Club. Our Casco Bay semi-custom design, which incorporates a blue and white hydrangea crest onto the invitation, was personalized with their golden retriever and spot watercolor lettering for the couple’s names. The coastal Maine theme was completed with a sailboat watercolor on the insert card, and blue envelopes with white addressing.

For day-of papers, I brush lettered the header on the seating chart to match the spot lettering on the invitation cards. The signature drinks (an aperol spritz and a whiskey smash) were featured on a custom cocktail sign, and the couple’s watercolor crest made an appearance on the napkins at the cocktail hour.

The stunning photography was captured by Clay Taylor Photo, and the celebration was planned by Salty and Sweet Events.
