I loved the starfish it really made my bouquet pop. That is the resort bouquet and it was real flowers they did a fabulous job. But I love me some bling so I bought bouquet jewelry which is swarovsky or any crystal starfish on a long stem that easily sticks into ur bouquet. I brought with me a large crystal starfish http://store.thebridalbox.net/bjstarfish.html  that's for the large one. don't get confused not too many people sell the large one it is 2" and I only did one of those ( about $17 plus shipping) and than I got 6 of the smaller crystal starfish for the rest of the bouquet http://weddingfactorydirect.com/stboje.html these are the smaller ones and usually sold in sets of 2 for $10 or $12. The shipping sucks because u have to get them from different places but they were so worth it. and than I got rhinestone bracelet for the stem. I gave it to my coordinator and they set it in my flowers.

Great planning thread! Everything looks amazing and looked like everyone had so much fun! Love the maraca tags. I made business cards from VP but they don't look that great. I will have to check out Michael's to see if I can find something. 

Congrats!!

I found the tags and labels at Michael's by Gartner studios to be the absolute best. And i ordered from staples and a million other places ...trial and eror lol. The ones from Gartner that are sold at Michael's come either label stickers or perforated in alll shapes so that after you print on them with templates found on their website than you punch them out and attach to your project. http://www.gartnerstudios.com/shop/wedding-supplies

 

They were great. all shapes and some already have holes for attaching. or buy stickers and than attach to their gorgeous tags also sold in Michael's and don't forget to use the coupons I lived in there with all my coupons lol.

Hey girl - did you make those starfish chair ties yourself? How long did you make them? (They look like the perfect length for the Moon Palace chairs) Also where did you get the rafia from??

I did make the starfish ties and they were sooo gorgeous if I say so myself lol. I did not take a measurement unfortunately but I used three fifferent colors and just kept measuring the same length 3 at a time and used about a roll and a half of 100' rolls of each color for 15 starfish. I wanted to make 30 one for each chair but I just didn't have enough room to bring them so I compromised and the truth is I didn't even need that many with the chair sashes. She hung them for the ceremony on the aisle chairs and than around the gazebo and moved them to every other chair at the reception but it would have been fine to have a few at each table and our chairs like she hung them on. Any way I got the raffia at a great place it is a wholesale place and the 100' roll was pretty cheap and they had every color. you have to be a company but you can put any company info that is what i did. I have the name of the company at home and I will forward it when I get it.
