Little Miss DIY'r...LOL...They look very professional and fantastic, good job~

Shelley..Beautiful, great idea..We are going by ourselves so no need for one but when we get back, we will be doing up wedding ones for our families who couldn't be there.. You did a great job, you should be proud~

Your hair looks great, how about half up and half down? (sides up but back down), that might be a good option for the hot weather? Your hair turned out very nice!

I did exactly that..I fell in love with a dress from a designer that was no longer available, so I contacted the designer with my sizes and surprisingly, it was cheaper than buying it from the store and its custom made for me.. I would suggest contacting the designer if you can or ebay might be the best option, unfortunately mine was not even available through ebay..Good Luck

Thank you so much, u'r a doll~ I sooooooooooooooo appreciate it..I am ordering from the vendor I just mentioned but she seems a bit flacky (spelling)? So I will take a chance on this anyway... I am so grateful for all the wonderful girls on this board...I agree its better to have two than NONE...

I just heard back from this vendor again saying that shipping is extra to Canada so its not the $8.00 or so, she is getting back to me with an amount..Just wanted to notify in case any other Canadian brides are interested~

Bouquet Jewels I have just heard back from this Vendor and they claim they are out of the clear but will order it..Has anyone used this vendor? It might be my only option Thanks

Great pics, Congrats and thanks for sharing~

I love them regardless, if you want a bit of colour, print them out on a lightly coloured paper, but i would keep them as they are...I really like them...

Thanks for the information, I will contact the other people you gave me..U'r so sweet to help me out this way~ Thanks so much~

Shelley...I LOVE them, keep them as they are...U'r the little DIY'r..LOL

Don't be silly, we want to see yours, I am sure they are wonderful.. Here is links to mine done in photoshop CS2... http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...gageTag150.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...ggageTag50.jpg

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it..My wonderful hubby picked out the vibrant coral colour and although I really wanted aqua, I let him have his way for this time..hehehhe..I worked a few hours on them and I am quite happy with how they turned out, considering I really looked at a lot of samples from other expensive webistes costing over $200 and the total for mine was $30 or so... I really wanted silk so I could bring them back with me... Again your comments are so appreciated~

I just finished my DIY bouquet and it was much cheaper to make myself..It was the first time I ever completed a bouquet..Although my wedding colours are off white and aqua, I made my flowers a bright coral colour to stand out in pictures..This may give you some ideas? Sorry for the large pics but I wanted you to see the detail~ http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...DIYbouquet.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...IYBouquet4.jpg

I agree, I am sorry you tried to help girls and this is the "thanks" you get..I belong to a Canadian forum and its the opposite of this one, girls are fighting, constantly trying to outdo each other and to me, a forum shouldn't be like that..its a place to all come together to share ideas to make each of our weddings unique..They are even selling wedding stuff at a higher price than what they paid to make money off of each other and that is not fair~ Although I have received a ton of information from The Knot, I realize "most" of the girls there are definately not like this forum or its great atmosphere...

She is by far my favorite photographer for destination weddings with a fantastic journalistic sytle to her...I have been following her work for over a year now and you are very lucky to have gotten her at such short notice.. Congrats they are beautiful, thanks for sharing~

Beautiful, Congrats~

This was only a week and a half ago so I don't have it yet. I can let you know when I do though so you can figure out how long it takes. Also, they may have had other colors in stock. I am obsessed with Bouquet Jewels Well at least you covered yourself...haha..Is there a quicker way to contact them, as I really want this exact starfish for its shape and size..its the one that is being passed around this forum and its sooooooooooooo cute...Can you let me know how to order from them quicker? Thanks so much

Bouquet Jewels Beachbride: Thanks so much...I have contacted this vendor this morning but I think I contacted them yesterday via email for information and they never got back to me? Is there a quicker way to reach them? Thanks so much~

Quote: Originally Posted by Shelley One more thing - when i talked to her about a week ago she had 3 green starfish, 1 clear (that I bought) and 1 natural color starfish left. I'm not sure what color you're going for. And by the way, that's really crappy to wait 2 weeks to tell you she's out of stock! I get so mad at poor customer service. Well I was interested in the clear one of coarse..What is natural?

She actually didn't even have it listed, she had just the plain ones listed but I emailed her to ask about the starfish and bouquet jewels and she had it all in stock. she also had the flip flop jewels available even though they weren't listed online either. anyways, the starfish was $10 I believe and for shipping for all that was $8.50. I received the items 2 days later. If you're interested I can send you her contact info. YES for sure, I would really appreciate this..I am in a bind And like I said earlier, the lady you first suggested, pulled a fast one on me, its been 2 weeks and I have been waiting for my delivery and she sent me an email yesterday saying there was a manufacturing problem..UGH, I was not pleased...She has now re-imbursed me, but I am still at point ZERO, with no starfish..Thanks I will await your contact information..

Do you have any specific colour requirements? You want a pin right? Or just any jeweled starfish. What I am looking for is a pin of coarse but I am having a hard time, so I assumed I would buy a bouquet jewel and make a pin out of it.. YES I definately do want one, I require it for my dress..I have contacted a few vendors this morning that the girls from here recommended but I have not heard anything yet..

Well I am desperate as I need a starfish for my dress! UGH....A few vendors from Ebay said they would ship it to me but again, it costs $28 for product and $50 for shipping, YIKES...

My gosh what a great selection he has provided for you..How many pics was that? Very beautiful, Congrats~
