How about a Seafood Boil for a shower, your rehearsal dinner, or heck! even a casual wedding? Photographer Nancy Neil, her commercial fisherman husband, and BFF, private/catering chef Ayda Robana threw this backyard party for their friends. We thought it could serve as such great inspiration for all you brides and grooms. It looks like such a fun time, right??
This is post perfection! Thank you for cheering up a dull and grey Monday in London!

I love all the colors and the food looks so tasty!

oh my god, if there was ever a gorgeous advert of a “boho” lifestyle that i want – THIS IS IT!!! Makes me wanna move there, wear a maxi and hang out with the cool kids!
It’s so funny because we are actually having a seafood boil for our rehearsal dinner. I grew up in Lousiana and coastal Georgia so we thought it would be a great way to share a part of my childhood with my friends here in California. Im glad to see im not the only one who thinks its a great idea!
What a fun idea–this would be great for a wedding! I love the bright summery colors and everyone looks like they’re having a great time. The hammock is a great touch too!
I’d do it for a wedding! Looks so relaxed and fun.
Gorgeous photos! All that seafood makes me nostalgic for New England and clam bakes on the beach!
oh wow!! how pretty was this! and it looks like so much fun was had by all! love all the color!
These photos are drop-dead gorgeous! The people in the cute outfits, and the beautiful food don’t hurt either :) We just had to share this with our readers in our weekly roundup. Check it out here: http://bit.ly/nHiEzL
