    Thank-yoU!! We had the Pres. package, so my included bouquet was already the best they made (it was stunning, we were blown away by the florals!). Elizabeth did have a lower package bouquet with her when she gave me mine, and I'll be honest, it was pretty small, so if you don't have the pres. package I would ask to see the size of your standard! I ordered bouquets for each of my girls, I believe they were about $25 each, and then they made me a 'mini' bouquet for my tosser at around $20. They didn't charge us anything to set up that I know of,so that was nice. We had quite a bit of stuff too, when we showed up at her office Elizabeth's eyes were about as wide as they could be lol. They did a beautiful job setting us up!! We rented the paper lanters, I think there was just the one size and I believe it was $10 per lantern (think we did 12). Money well spent, they really added to the look!! We just went with the standard BBQ (code for buffet). Least favorite thing of the entire wedding...The food blew It was cold, and not served when we asked it to be. But whatevs, the rest was incredible

    I got them all the same necklace from Etsy (Below), it looked really cute! For bracellets, earrings I just said do whatever, I wanted them to be able to bring in their personalities with the accesories they chose.

    I just returned from my wedding, and all I can say it - DO IT!! First of all, it's not really "trash", my photographer uses the term "rock the dress" so people aren't as afraid of it. It was so amazing to put that dress on just ONE MORE TIME, the day flew by so quickly! And, it gives you another chance for some amazing photos of just the two of you, we were on a pretty tight schedule on our day with sunset so early, I'm so thankful for the extra shots. Do it ladies, you will not regret it! Sidenote - my dress came out CLEANER after swishing in the ocean, the bottom was black from the reception and now it's pretty clean. I rinsed off in the pool and then sat it on our balcony for the day to dry. Once it was dry and shook that sand out and voila - clean as a whistle! Here's a couple of peeks my photog has given

    I gave them each this necklace that I ordered on etsy: They looked super cute! I told them whatever for earrings and bracellets, I wanted them to be able to bring in their personality. Most did dangly silver earrings and just simple pearl or silver bracelets. They looked fantastic!! The dresses are so goregous on the beach! There's a little snippet from my photographer's blog below, you can see how they looked

    It was AMAZING!!! Settling back into life and trying to spend a few moments here and there working on my review. I have so much to say! There were of course few hiccups/annoying things but all in all this place knows what they are doing. One thing I will say before getting into my review is that if you can - BOOK THE PRESIDENTIAL PACKAGE!!
