Msredd's Ridiculously Long and Pic Heavy Planning Thread!!!


Recommended Posts

As many have said before, I canâ€t believe it is my turn. I started and finished half of this thread before we left, but I didnâ€t have time to finish and post it before our flight. We just returned last night from our honeymoon, so after I post this planning thread…I will post my reviews. Thank you soooo much Tammy  for creating this site, I really donâ€t know how I would have planned my wedding without it. Also thanks to the mods and all the brides before me who have contributed their thoughts and ideas from which we have all borrowed from. I canâ€t remember everyone who I have borrowed ideas from…but thank you all and feel free to take credit.

   We did not have a formal proposal, we just knew we would get married one day and talked about it from time to time. My fiancee†and I have been together for over 20 yrs. We have 3 children together..ages 21,20 and 10. We were actually supposed to get married shortly after our last child was born..but plans changed. He gave me my ring about 9 yrs ago, but we had it redesigned and remounted about 3 yrs ago. It was originally a plain princess cut with 2 small diamonds on either side. We changed it into this antique setting. This is the best pic I could get.

The rings:

  It is a princess cut with a pave platform and pave all around the front of it. We found the perfect pave band a few months ago.

His ring: Again the pic is not that great, but it is a black and white diamond band.

 

The resort:

  We ultimately chose Moon Palace in Cancun because  of the wedding packages and the decided to go with the complimentary package and add on what we wanted, as you could not change anything in the packages. I had stayed at Moon Palace a few yrs ago and loved it. We also did a site visit last July with the wedding coordinator.

   We then decided on our colors on a suggestion by one of my best friends. Hot pink and apple red..like the colors on a Victoriaâ€s secret bag.

Our 1st monogram:

Our daughter drew a rough draft of our monogram for us. I then sent it to Rebecca from Allurements by Rebecca to finish it. It came out great.You will see it on our boarding pass STD pic.

 

 

 

The Boarding Pass STDâ€s:

  I then started working on our STDâ€s with much help from this site. I found the images from surfing Google images.

The Passport Invites:

  I got the template for the Passport invites from one of the girls on this forum and changed and added what I wanted. After finding great envelope liners with polka dots in my colors, I decided to add the polka dots to our theme. One of our laptops crashed, but I will try and add all templates later.

The Dress:

  I originally put a deposit down on a Davidâ€s dress, but I didnâ€t have “the one†feeling. I continued to look around and found the perfect dress from a seller on Craigâ€s list in my size. The Maggie Sottero Destiny. I made an appt to try it on and it fit great.

I also found a really nice dress for my TTD on Ebay:

Bridal Jewelry:

  I found these Judith Ripka earrings on QVCâ€s website.

  I then found a matching Judith Ripka necklace brand new for sale on Ebay:

  I found this bracelet on Overstock.com for a really good price. It has a dangling glass heart near the clasp:

brace.jpg

Hair Flower:

I ordered this hair flower from an Etsy seller..it matched my jewelry really well…it has crystals and pearls in the middle:

Bridal Bouquet:

  I donâ€t have a pic, but they will be hot pink and red roses with a pink and red polka dot ribbon.

Bridal Party Flowers:

  I contacted Marvin of Maya Disneo florist in Cancun and explained what I wanted. He sent me these pics and I love them:

Groom and Best Man suits:

  We ordered swatches from Studio Suits and matched the ring bearer suit to their English Beige linen swatch.

  We got the guys measurements from a local tailor and ordered the 2 custom suits. Unfortunately the groomâ€s jacket was too small but everything else fit good. We then reordered a preset size jacket in the same color and it fit just right.

 We also ordered these pink ties from Amazon:

Groom and Best Man Shoes:

 I don't have a pic but they are wearing tan loafers.

 

Second Monogram:

  Again created by Rebecca…I canâ€t say enough great things about her she is a godsend. She created this monogram to fit our polka dot theme:

Y&B Mono (w Names)-1.jpg

 

 

 

Pre Travel Brochures and Luggage Tags:

These were designed on VistaPrint, and the tags from Rebeccaâ€s template from this forum. I ordered the luggage tags from Clearenvelopes.com.

 

tags.jpg

Fans:

 We decided not to do programs, as they would probably only end up in the trash. So, we ordered these fans from The Knot.com while on sale, and had them engraved with our names and date. I then added red ribbon and starfish charms and a business card from Vista Print with the following star fish poem to the fans. They will be on each seat.

Petal Cones:

  I again used Rebecca for these, and loved how they turned out. One of each of these will be hanging on each chair with red and pink rose petals I bought from Flyboys Naturals website.

Linens:

  I purchased hot pink organza chair sashes and overlays, as well as linen napkins and red table runners from Efavormartâ€s website. They were the cheapest I found. This is a pic of my mock set up at home with the menu  and table numbers made by Rebecca. I used the Ikea Tolsby frame to hold the table numbers. The starfish are from Oriental Trade. This is not our centerpiece, that pic will follow:

Centerpiece:

This is my inspiration centerpiece, which will have pink floralytes and clear acrylic ice on the bottom:

I ordered the lanyards and keycard holders from one of the girls selling them here. Notebooks in our wedding colors from Michaelâ€s. Personalized travel cups from Factory21 on Ebay. I found the little  cocktail bottles at Target and then made labels for them. Survival kits, chapstick, sunblock & aloe gel from Target. I found the Advil and Pepto on Amazon. Hand Sanitizers from Bath and Body Works. All templates for the labels for these items, I found on this forum. Survival Kit tops and Chapstick labels made by Rebecca:

Favors:

  I ordered these candles from The Knot.com. They are vanilla scented gel candles with real small starfish and shells on the bottom. I wrapped each of them with red tulle and tied it with a pink and red polka dot ribbon. I will add the favor tags when I get to Mexico. Favor tags by Rebecca:
