I wanted to recommend a vendor I ended up using for my seashell bouquets - they are a mother/daughter duo that have a site called Seashells in Bloom: http://www.seashellsinbloom.com/bouquets.html Lindsey hand-makes each flower using seashells, and then creates fabulous works of floral art! She was incredibly easy to work with. I originally came across some of their bouquet photos on Pinterest, and when I learned they can custom make a bouquet from any of the shell blooms they create, I decided to order from them vs. continue my DIY efforts. I am SO HAPPY I used them, the bouquets came out amazing, and now both my bridesmaids and I have a memento that will last forever. Here is my bridal bouquet, custom designed to include 3 types of 'blooms' that matched my wedding colors and style: For my two bridesmaids, I ordered the "island blossom" bouquet and just swapped out the standard leaves for another type of real-touch greenery they can use: I traveled from MA to Playa del Carmen in Mexico, and these made the trip with no problem as they were shipped to me with a TON of packaging and then put in a box with more protective packaging (I just took them out of the box and packed them as they were wrapped, in my carry on). This was one of the better "splurges" I allowed myself and was definitely worth every cent!

Hi Ladies, I have found a ton of use for my wedding website, especially since we are trying to go "green" and not mail a lot of info to our guests. Check out Weebly.com - it's a great platform if you want to fully customize the elements of each page of your wedding site. But, they have templates as well that you can start with. Feel free to take a look at our site as an example: benandmichelleswedding.weebly.com I added pages as we have gotten closer to the wedding. Our current site has a page where we give fun facts about each guest, info about how customs works, and a suggested packing list that I stole from another BDW post. @Mady28 - we have an accommodations page on our site that may give you some ideas. We just changed the wording now that we're past the deadline to book rooms, but you can still get the gist.
