Shoes sign & brushes
I saw someone’s shoe parking sign somewhere along the way and loved this idea. I made my own version using thick craft felt, white acrylic paint and a wooden flip-flop crafty thing, all from Michael’s. I bought a small (~2 ft) wire easel that will stick in the sand and hold the sign through a small hole punched in the top of it.


Rattan mat to leave shoes on, (Target)


and brushes (bought super cheap at Michael’s, then just painted the handles white, printed out tags I borrowed from another Bestie and tied on with ribbon)



Reception
Our reception will be poolside at the Las Palmas Terrace.



We’re going to have lounge furniture set up for the cocktail hour & reception. Here’s an idea of how they can set things up, but I’m not sure what the end result will be.



Table numbers & place card holders
I decided I wanted to go with something that could double as a favor & thought Mexican Talavera tiles would be perfect! They can be used as trivets, spoon rests or just as decoration. I ordered 20 different hand-painted tiles from TilesandTiles.com (great customer service!), painted the backs with terracotta paint and then wrote guests’ names & table #’s in silver calligraphy marker.
The table #’s are Hacienda house tiles ordered from finecraftsandimports.com




Votive holders, 2 of each color to be placed on the reception tables (Crate&Barrel)
