Flex Box Navigation

Hi! I am helping out on a web project! I have recently completed the flex box course and I thought it would be cool to change my bootstrap menu into a flex box menu. I have got it to look how I want at full size but it wraps to two lines just a little too early. Does anyone have any advice

I don't want the logo to shrink in size. I also want the edge of the content to be aligned to the edge of the container. Website is reido.co.uk/netsolv 

.flex-wrap {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: nowrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}



.site-branding img {
    margin-top: 30px;





}

.site-navigation {
    margin-left: auto;



}


#site-logo > a > img {
    max-width: 60%;
    max-height: 60%;



}

To prevent logo shrinkage, specify the dimensions in pixels rather than percent. Also, specify the actual dimension instead of the limit (width instead of max-width).

The "container" class has padding. Override the padding and set it to 0 to allow the contents to meet the left edge. You may also have to remove margins from inner elements if you want them completely at the edge.
