BM dresses - From Tristan and America. When I picked this blue, it wasn’t so popular and it was IMPOSSIBLE to find dresses. We looked for ever for these dresses but we were really happy with them. I even bought one for myself! Guys looks - Cobalt ties to match the girls. Hubby wore orange. Ceremony location - a beautiful gazebo Pink and orange hand fans on the chairs at the ceremony Parasols for our moms from Paper Lantern. The ceremony ended up being shaded, so we didn’t need these, but still a nice touch I think. Chair signs - DIY. I made them for Mother of the Bride, Father of the Bride and Mother of the Groom (Fi’s dad has passed away). Programs - DIY Mom gifts (Etsy) & cards (DIY) Thank you cards for the BMs - DIY BM gift - I bought these necklaces from Etsy and all the girls loved them. I also took them on a horseback riding excursion once we were down there.

OOT bags. I bought blue totes made from recycled material from Oriental Trading, and pink beach bags for the bridesmaids and moms. We also set up a snapfish.com account for people to share pics and included cards with that information. Most people didn't use it though. Monogram - DIY, done on my MAC. I have ZERO design skills, but after a few hours of playing around, I was pretty happy with the turn out. Dress - After 2 days of dress shopping, I was OVER IT! We found this dress on the first day, and went back and ordered it the second or third day. I had the dress for a year and a half before the wedding, so I had a bit of dress envy sometimes (there are so many beautiful dresses - I wish I could wear them all!), but in the end it was perfect. The dress: Ella Bridals. It came with straps (not shown) and I chose to go with straps. Garter - Etsy Shoes - Le Chateau. I also got some pretty orange flip flops for dancing, but they turned out to be more uncomfortable than my heels. Hanger - Etsy Bracelet - Etsy Earrings & Hair flower - Etsy
