Thanks for the responses. Makes me feel better. I'll see what the budget looks like for flowers once things get closer.

Back to the flowers.... Do you think it would look weird if my bouquet is bright tropical flowers and then the BM bouquets are just plain white roses/lillies (free bouquet)? After seeing Alisa's flowers I think it would look nice to have them all the same and they can all take them home but that means more mullah. But I guess it would also be a gift for them to take home if they were real touch. Hmmm..... Jessica I like ur idea of using the BM bouquets as centerpieces/decorations. (posted in another thread)

So cute. Love the price too...and the fact that they are not glass. I'd probably give them away at the end of the night too. What a great find!!

I plan on getting the OOT bags for about $.99 each and filling them with lots of stuff from the $.99 store. Chapstick, sunscreen, aleve, pepto, tissues, wet wipes, safety pins, floss and anything else that I can find. I am trying to stay around $10-$15 a bag but I'll have to wait to see how many ppl I have coming. Fewer ppl = more goodies in the bags. =)

Shoes are from zappos. Some one posted them in hot pink on the "show off your shoes thread" and I went on a hunt. I was so excited to find them in my color. They have really nice white ones too. There are so many great sites for cheap sashes but I am looking at efavormart.com and cvlinens.com. They both have lots of other things. There is also a sash sharing thread on here where girls are sharing sashes...brilliant idea. Who needs that many sashes after the wedding lol!! I plan on making my own centerpieces. I like the flowers in water look. Saw someone with white flowers in turquoise water (another Del Sol slideshow) and fell in looooooove with the idea. Thankfully I have a very crafty mother that can help me out. Now getting everything down there in one piece is a whole different story. =)

Love the colors Alisa!!

I am definitley going to do real touch flowers. I love the idea of bringing home my tropical bouquet and having it in a vase next to a picture of us on our wedding day and our sand ceremony. I'll probably take the real bouquet I get down there and split it up....or just make it a centerpiece/decoration.

Love the color combos Natalia!! Well I got 400 days to go from today so I have plenty of time. I have a lot of stuff figured out but I can't really do anything until it gets closer. I did reserve my photographer (La Luna) ...so excited. I have lots of ideas for the OOT bags, where I am going to buy my chair sashes, the style of centerpieces I want and so much more but I really need to wait until it gets closer so I have a better idea of how many people are coming. I plan on going dress shopping starting next month. Have a specific style I want so I hope it ends up looking good on me. I've been working on my boarding pass STDs that will be sent out next month and already decided to do the passport invites. So I have lots of stuff figured out but now its just a waiting game for me. You're lucky yours is so close!! =) I did find my shoes....fell in love with them. These will be the first item I buy for the wedding haha!!!

Welcome n4turally!!! Congrats on your wedding. So what have you done so far? Picked colors, wedding packages, ceremony/reception site, etc.??

These are all so hot. I can't wait to do our TTD. You ladies are so inspiring. Thanks for the great ideas. I saved so many of these pictures.

HAHA this is hilarious!! I've been lurking on this thread for a while now because I am considering a knock off ...probably for my TTD but we will see. I just had to comment on this post. I thought it was so funny.

These look great. Your guests are going to love them. Thanks for sharing your templates/documents.

Ok good to know. Thanks

So what if it is a symbolic ceremony? What usually goes down? Or do we get to decide what we want said/done? We will be doing the paperwork before we go so I want to make sure I understand what goes on. I heard you still sign a paper during the ceremony. What is being signed? We will not be telling anyone except parents and sisters that we are getting married beforehand. So I want it to be official as possible. And thanks for all the responses to my previous post ladies. I really appreciate it.

I posted in that thread. There was only one suggestion on a plastic vase. It was cute but not what I am looking for. I am really hoping there are others with some great ideas and links. I am still searching....
