Teacherbride/Connie's Planning Thread

[teacherbride]

Okay, so I’ve been home from my wedding for a couple weeks now and I’m finally sitting down to write my planning thread. Thanks to all of you ladies for your help, support, and ideas! I will admit right now that I’m terrible at remembering where I found things so if you see something that was your idea, feel free to take the credit!

 

Here goes…

 

The rings. We had them made by a local designer and I totally love them!

 

 

Engagement photos by Dan Harper

 

 

 

Bridesmaid Dresses – I originally chose some little sundresses by J Crew but was convinced they weren’t perfect. We decided to go with these from Davids Bridal, in chocolate brown, and the girls looked SO beautiful in them.

(excuse my hideous tan lines and weird face)

 

 

 

My Wedding Dress – Davids Bridal

 

Wedding Accessories

Sandals – Aldo Shoes.

 

Necklace and bracelet – I made myself. I had a necklace made but changed my mind at the last minute.

 

Veil and sparkly headband

 

 

Groomsmen Attire – The boys picked their own outfits from Island Importer. They were comfy and they suited the boys really well.

Groomsmen Shoes – Reef Sandals (They were really cool with a pen and paper holder inside the sandal!)

 

[teacherbride]

Flowers – I ordered my flowers from <company name removed> and was completely and totally in love with them!

 

Resort: Playa Pesquero, Holguin Cuba

A friend of mine got married there last January and every since seeing her photos I’ve been in love with this resort. Everything was wonderful and we had a blast there!

 

Ceremony D̩cor РI really wanted a lot of green and nothing too girly for the arch.

 

Reception Inspiration – Martha Stewart Pom Poms and Luminaries

I ended up only using the luminaries but I loved how it ended up.

 

Postcard Invitations – These were made by a friend of ours and the photo was taken by Nathaniel from BDW

 

 

 

Prewedding Mailout - I also made luggage tags but I don’t have a picture of them.

OOT Bags – I didn’t get a good pic of the bags when they were completed but here’s what was inside.

Travel mugs

Spanish phrase books

Travel Candles

Key/Money holders

Body lotion/shampoo/conditioner

Immodium and Ibuprofin

Meet the guests pamphlet

And lots more!

 

Bridesmaids Bags

 

Garter – My DH is a huge Canucks fan, he loved this!

 

I’ve posted a couple photos of our wedding and TTD but you can see a larger teaser gallery at Welcome to DanHarperPhotography.com

 

 

Well ladies, I hope I haven’t forgotten too much. Everything worked out better than I could imagine it was. It was an awesome day with a lot of thanks to all of you!
