I'm also looking for earrings and/or a necklace earring set for my BM. I looked on Etsy but wasn't crazy about any. Let me know if you have any ideas on where to look...

 

I was in a DSW a while back... in the clearance section I found these most adorable yellow clutches for something like 6 bucks each... I bought them in the hopes that I would find more at another DSW I am always near..... I didn't find them - so i ended up returning them and skipping the clutch idea... (well I kept one for myself teehee)

 

Maybe check there?

 

Do you ever get down to Patriot Place in Foxboro... there is a Charming Charlies there...  have you ever been... I know we have talked about it on here before... I bet you could find clutches and jewelry there - for great prices.....

I remember you guys talking about it but I didn't know we had one. I've never been to one but sounds like a trip to FXB is in order!!

It is worth the drive if you have some things you NEED for your wedding .. and a little extra pocket change to get yourself some things  hahah

Rayn you got that Martha Stewart mojo working girl....Awesome!!!!!

The first type of box I was going to use didn't work out... I found these today - This is how I am sending them out - The boxes will get wrapped and labeled - (will post when I get to that part). Scent packets to get the Tropical Vibe going on. . . A piece of tissue and the STDs tucked in nicely. I stamped the inside of the box top...  awww heehe I had to get two styles of boxes as they only had half as many in each style then I needed... both are cute! (sorry the pics suck... my phone apparently takes bad photos in this light)

Hhaha yeah - I am very crafty!  I love doing stuff like this (even when it makes me wanna bang my head into a wall)   

 

I actually make crafts and stuff like floral arrangements (silk and real) and lot of other stuff to sell.. .. and jewelry    so I feel like people will expect something like this from me.   

 

Good thing I think its fun hahaha

Thank You for saying so! : )

I was thinking of doing something like this as a thank you gift. Yours turned out beautiful! I'm not very crafty, but may give it a try!

Thank You!

 

It was pretty simple (minus the extra things I did just to make it difficult on myself - but where not necessary)

 

I'd be happy to give you a breakdown of what I did when you get to making something - if that would help.

Hey ladies what is everyone wearing? A beachy casual dress, ball gown, a line vintage etc? Shoes barefoot sandals? I thought I wanted beachy casual but when trying on and searching I like the look of an actual gown. The so called destination dresses just don't scream wedding to me. Those with wedding party what are girls wearing? Short/long dresses? Casual? Haven't picked yet but we've been trying both long and short chiffon. are your guys wearing? Full jacket and ties? Button ups? Etc.etc? We can't decide. Thinking of linen suits but just vest not suit jacket. Maybe just the linen pants and a linen shirt. Oy..just don't no. FI is worried about being hot he is always hot. Guys wearing shoes? Mine are gonna have too he refuses to go barefoot? What about flower girls/ring bearer?

I don't have much planned at the momnt but my dress. I am in love with the color green and have found a beach casual dress that I live for! I am still looking around so far I'm.with beach casual.

That's how my BM feel too! Thankfully, haha. I only have 2, and my sister is my MOH, so I want to buy the dresses for them. These might be a little high, but they really are lovely. I'm adding them to my "must check out" list

Have you tried J.Crew? They're having a great sale now, with an additional 40 percent off factory items. This dress for bridesmaids is less than 90 bucks before the sale price and they have different colors: http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/dresses/Special_Occasion/PRDOVR~55996/55996.jsp
