Hey!!!! I remember re discussed being planning buddies before... ... my little one is doing good, already crawling (at 5 months) she see things and wants them so I guess she decided the only want to get them is to get moving. I have started a couple of threads here, including "a get fit for the isle thread." I went throughout this thread when I was planning another wedding because I knew this was were I wanted to have mine. Wendy is great and we plan to have about 40- 50 people. I'm not sure about everything else. I'm trying to knock the little stuff out the way because I have a habit of seeing the big picture and forgetting about the little things. I did start working on mine and my bridesmaids bouquets. I'm doing real touch and brooch and I will post a DIY thread when I'm done. I'm having a hard time deciding between tropical theme and beach theme. My DIY STD's were both. I booked with Del Sol for a 5pm wedding at the gazebo. I plan to have a cigar roller and mariachi band play at the cocktail hour. I have no idea on what dress I want and I'm not doing that until November, I'm not really a dress person and my mother isn't there to help so it's not as exciting as I imagine for others. As a designer I like maggie sottero, more specifically Adeline... but Idk.

Thanks! lets see.. STD's are out I have booked my photographer got my oot bags working on my invitations got my ring holders setup my wedding website working on my "tears of joy" got my sand ceremony frame got the sand looking for centerpiece ideas I feel behind but I don't know,,, how about you?

I keep forgetting to take pics my dog passed so we have been dealing with that. I plan to start dress shopping in November/October ish.

wow I have been throughout this site and can't believe I'm now just posting on this thread... I'm also a 2013 May 11th bride at the RPRM.. I booked my date with the resort and I have a block for my guest with Wendy HIcks (wonderful TA)... I see a lot of brides around May 4th but I haven't found one May 11th. How far are some of guys?

Agreed...

CONGRATS!

I got my clam shells back from the seller on etsy, I will post a picture when I get home. They are soo adorable... I'm glad I did it.

thank you!

I haven't had any trouble finding things... Are you doing pinkish-coral or orangey-coral? I have ton of things that I have found that are seafoam... One place that has good ribbon and paper for teal and seafoam is www.papermart.com . I generally don't go into sites that most people use, I tend to venture into new company sites that may have something different. It just takes awhile to find them. I will definitely keep adding to this thread on things I find/found..

I'm glad I can help!

OMG, I LOVVVE YOUR PLANNING THREAD!!! I THINK THE BUSTER THING WAS ADORABLE...

although not tropical, very beautiful!!! I love the brooches you used.

Thanks for the reply, Did you eventually make the bouquet or did you end up buying it? do you have a picture?

thanks for $.02 , the brooches are medium-large and then I have small brooches (which are really crystal buttons). I was planning on inserting the small button brooches in the flower and using the medium-large ones throughout the bouquet for myself. The BM brooches are small to medium-small, and they are all colored. I do have some of them that are crystal for them. I think you are right about the wire part with bouquet number 2, but they may work for the BM's only and I would have to put more fuller flowers in mine and use the lilies sporadically in my bouquet as color. I have no inspiration on brooch and flower since there are not many online to compare against. I'm looking for a more exotic-beach bouquet. So whichever inspiration from above I choose will have orchids, because I think they bring that very tropical feel.

I have collected well over 160 brooches, and now I want to start on my bouquets. I like the idea of a brooch bouquet but I'm not into all brooches, I'd rather both brooch and real touch flowers. I'm very undecided as to which direction to go with flowers. I have selected some bouquets that I like and would like your opinion on which do you think would be the best choice. These would be for my bridesmaids, but I will only do the inverse of the bridesmaid’s bouquet in white with some color in it. The brooches that I have collected have been aqua, yellows, oranges, etc The ones that I have collected for me are swarovski crystal. Here is my wedding pallette. Colors Seafoam/Palm Beach Coral/Silver Enhancements. BM's will be wearing seafoam and coral and my MOH will wear silver BOUQUET #1 BOUQUET #2 BOUQUET #3 BOUQUET #4 BOUQUET #5 BOUQUET #6

I also like this idea, not cheesy at all!

sorry

I found sashes for cheap here http://jjlinen.com/sample-satin-sashsea-foam-green-p-17.html but you can always go on ebay and maybe find cheaper.

disregard the link above with the floating candle.... this site has it cheaper. at $1.68 per candle or $5.00 for 3 http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Floating-Greenish-Blue-Starfish-Relaxation-Candle-3-/768014

Unity sand ceremony - has both my colors seafoam/palm beach coral... very cheap in price.. http://www.sandsationalsparkle.com/unity-sand-ceremony-colored-sand-seafoam-1

Here is another site that I found... My colors are seafoam/coral so I try to find items in these colors. Here are seafoam starfish floating candles... I bought them for my centerpiece and they are beautiful. http://www.rileycreekfloatingcandles.com/Starfish-Floating-Candle-Teal-dsflt02-018.htm

glad I can help out a fellow bride!!!

Thank you... I love the beach camera.

Make sure to compare prices, but majority of the items that I have seen put in OOT bags are cheaper on this site. Plus you get to order the quantity you need.

Things like pepto, advil, Alka-Seltzer, etc seem to be cheaper on Amazon bought in bulk. It would depend on how many guest you plan to have. Small parties will be cheaper on http://www.minimus.biz/, large parties up to 100 would be cheaper on amazon with the items listed above.
