welcome to compass rose gardens!
we found out about this venue through word of mouth while staying at the lodge one weekend, side note: i happen to grow up crabbing with my family in bodega bay~ c&c gate initials purchased here
i originally planned to do large hurricanes but found out it was way too pricey so went with mason jars~ i filled them with sand to tie into the escort table ~ mason jars purchased from here, candles from here
welcome book from here
for our welcome table sign: i cut out the flowers from our invites, glued them onto the back of our invites, and then wrote with a white gel pen in the navy stripes, and framed
for the welcome book: i had multiple sizes of cards made by minted with love notes to c&c using the same floral design from our invites, and then a coral border on the others
pencils: i had love notes to carlee & chris pencils made from here
champagne was served before the ceremony started
passed apps & drinks for after the ceremony
drinks- east meets west- our time in boston represented by the pahkd cah (parked car~ in boston accent) and a sanfran-ito ~navy & white paper straws ~ signs are navy paper with a white gel pen ~ vase from here
coral napkins embossed with a heart and then our initials in gold- turned out to be a much more tedious project than i had expected. took hours...
escort cards: minted printed "eat...THEN DANCE!" chris' idea :) and then we hole punched the cards, wrote with a VersaMarker pen, embossed, then chris tied reef knots on all 120 of the cards- he's a keeper~ placed the cards in two wooden boxes filled with sand
