Starfish Brooch Pin

I found this on Ebay for $11 Cdn. - It is exactly what I was looking for my bouquet!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/280481504256?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2418wt_907

Silk Rose Petals

Originally I purchased these to make a no mess aisle runner (Shout out to MIssBubbles for the great idea). But I have decided to use them on my dinner tables for the DW & AHR (all colours mixed) down the centre of each table instead of table runners. These petals are super easy to transport. Each plastic bag of petals contains 100 pieces.

I found them on Ebay for $4.30 Cdn. for 1,000 petals. I ordered 4,000 Blue - 4,000 Purple - 1,000 Cream (Which I think is WAY too many, but I may find more uses for them as a continue to plan). Wonderful product! TONS OF COLOURS AVAILABLE

Starfish Charms

I purchased these starfish charms off Ebay for $5.00 for 100 of them. I am using these for my invitations tied with purple raffia. I thought it was a great price for 100 of them!!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/330584382786?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4771wt_1185

Zip Lock Baggies

Again I found these on Ebay, for $8.70 for 1,000 of them. I am using these for my OOT bags for the different medications I am including. FI and I figure it was cheaper to purchase huge Advil, Pepto., ect bottles form costco than buying the individual packages. So we will use these baggies and then label each bag with a DIY label.

Sand Ceremony Picture Frame

I purchased this shadow box picture frame from Michaels @ $14.99 used a 25% off coupon, so I paid $12.70 for it. I plan to make my own Sand Ceremony picture frame (there is a forum on BDW for this project). I couldn't bare spending 70+ dollars on one when I can make my own for under $20.

DIY Bouquets, bout.'s & Corsages

I purchased these wonderful White rose heads from Ebay for $30 for 60.. I ordered 120 of them for $60. They are silk flowers and exactly what I was looking for, they are just missing the flower steams. Which I have found at Michaels and they are easy to attach a steam for bouquets.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221132589642?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1299wt_952

I purchased these blue Orchids from Save-On-Crafts.com for $24 for 30 of them. Again if steams are needed I can easily add them.

(CANADA BRIDES: Save-on-crafts does not ship to Canada; I got these shipped to a wonderful BDW bride in Boston and she kindly shipped them to me <3 She is my life saver!!!)

http://www.save-on-crafts.com/blueorchids1.html

I am using the white Roses and Blue orchids for my 9 bouquets, 9 bout.'s & 3 corsages, this project is costing me around $100-$150, once all the supplies are bought to make them. I am saving a TON of money as I got a quote from Bloom Bridal in Toronto for them to make and my quote was around $800. Check out you tube for making your own bouquets, bout.'s and corsages; it looks quite easy Once mine are made I will post them!

This is my inspiration:

(But my roses are more real looking).

Chalkboard Signs

I bought these from Michaels in the wedding section (Brand: Wedding). I am using these for our engagement pictures this January when we visit out resort where we plan to marry. I am sure these will have some other uses for the wedding, as all we need to do is erase the chalk and write whatever we would like on them

These are $16.99/each --> They were on sale for $12.99 when I bought them so I couldn't use my 50% off coupon I had. But still a great item as they are reusable.

to be continued........

Thanks for sharing! I like the idea of the small plastic baggies! I bet it would save money to buy a big bottle of medicine and put it in each bag! Thanks again!

No problem... I have looked at buying the individual packages that contain 2 or so pills.... they are so much more than if you just do it this way Your welcome!

HAHA! I was confused for a second!!

Hey Kay,

Have you already received the bags? I was looking at ordering some then started thinking about the DIY label. The bag seems so small I have no clue how to make the label. I'd like to do one for each type of medicine. Have you made a template for your labels yet?

Do you think something like these labels would be too big to stick on the bags? (I got these from other brides on these boards)
