Lady Trunck (Jannae)'s planning post! Tons of pics!!

[LadyTrunck]

YAY!!! We leave for Mexico in 4 days!!!!!! Of course I have to thank Tammy, and every single BDW'er on here for making this time fabulous. If it weren't for your ideas, information, and most of all SUPPORT (and I definitely needed it!!) I wouldn't have such great things to show you all.

 

Ok, on to the pics! The engagement- We moved to SF after FI graduated law school. Little did I know, he had purchased the ring before we moved! I didn’t get it until 6 months later, because he was doing contract work, and wouldn’t propose until he had a settled job and could ‘take care of me’. So he got one, we went down to Monterey for the weekend, and he proposed on the beach- it was perfect!!

 

The Rings!!:

 

First thing we got w/ our color scheme was the monogram- by ayleebits:

 

My two great bachelorette parties- I heart my friends!!:

My getting ready outfit (I blinged ‘Ryan’s Bride’ on the jumper):

 

My ‘Something Blue’ (all blinging I did using instructions from MsShellys post- Thanks!):

 

My dress on the model, San Patrick/Pronovias ‘Palmares’:

And on me (final fitting):

 

Shoes (from zappos.com):

[LadyTrunck]

Earrings (from bridal shop that I got my dress from), and I will wear a flower in my hair similar to the TTD one:

 

Trash the dress-I got the knockoff from gianinar bridal of my second favorite dress, Maggie Sotteros ‘Reese’:

 

TTD accessories:

 

Grooms attire- suit and shirt from Studio suits in the Irish linen. Shoes from Aldo:

 

Kiddos outfits (girls from Nordstroms, boys from Gap):

[LadyTrunck]

Girls will carry pails w/ flower petals decorated like this one (all bought at Target), the boys will carry a plain one (no flowers or ribbons!) with sand, and the rings in them:

 

Since the kids are our bridal party, I made the girls ‘blinged’ tanks w/ their names and got them semi matching skirts for the welcome dinner, and for the boys, camo underwater watches:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Save the Date Shot Kits (shot glasses from discountmugs.com- and didn’t have any problems that previous brides have had)- they were a HIT with our guests! And have to give total credit to FI for the idea of these- it was one thing that he couldn’t live without:

 

Luggage tags – Thanks for the template fellow BDWer! (all plastic materials purchased from Amazon.com):

[LadyTrunck]

Since FI and I eat hot sauce on EVERYTHING, we got these personalized bottles to give to each couple at the welcome dinner- they say ‘Jannae and Ryan’s hot and spicy’ (from theknot.com):

 

Bouquet inspiration:

 

Welcome Books:didn’t get a pic of these yet, but I totally stole this idea form another fab BDW’er- Thanks!

 

Cups for guests to use at the resorts (vendor on ebay), also a referral from a bride here!:

 

Fans for ceremony:

 

Chairbows- thanks LadyDi for the inspiration of putting two colors together!:

[LadyTrunck]

For our cocktail hour, we are doing a postcard guestbook, as well as cigars for adults, and fun stuff for the kids *also totally an idea from a fellow BDW’er* (pirate hats, swords, glow wands, fairy wings, feather boa-unfortunately, they are all packaged, no pics!). These are the signs that I made for both:

 

Our custom cake topper (mrsclay.com)- I really wanted to incorporate our furbaby into the mix, but didn’t know how to do it- until I came upon this idea from Island Princess- Gracias!:

 

Maraca inspiration- we are getting ours in our colors from the fabulous Mishka w/ the palm trees from our monogram- I don’t get to see them until wedding day- so it will be a fun surprise!:

 

FMIL and I made these Christmas ornaments for our family members. It is something that she did with both of her daughters, and I was so touched to see that she wanted to do them with me! She adores them, and loves to talk about how exciting it is every Christmas to be decorating the tree and to be reminded of the wedding. She is so cute- I am super blessed to have such fabulous inlaws!:

 

 

I think that's about it!!!!! Viva Mexico!!
