Hi girls, just wanted to update - I went to converse.com & designed these Chucks for FI (w/ his help). Bright blue with green stitching & green lining. The back stripe has xoxo's all over (in black & red) and I had our date stamped on the side by the outer heel (really small). I don't have a good pic yet since we haven't received them, but this one's from my cart on the website.

The girls have pink dresses, I was thinking to do orange bouquets, and I've already bought these bracelets.. Do you think this will all go together? I think that will totally work! Very pretty & it's neutral so it'll go with any color combo.

thanks for posting

The first one was my initial inspiration board - just getting the colors together & finding things that gave me inspiration for an overall look/feel. Then I did this one the other day as an update, including the things that we're using (our invite, my shoes & jewelery, the BM dresses, cake topper, centerpieces, etc). The guys are wearing the guayabera shirts shown on the left, in ivory, with embroidery matching the girls dresses (one green, one blue, one yellow). FI is wearing a linen suit with white shirt (we think) & these fun chuck taylor allstars I had made for him at converse.com. I don't have a good pic of them since we haven't received them yet, but this one's from the website. The back stripe has "xoxoxo" all over it and I had our date stamped on the side (small). I love these shoes

I agree - blue goes with everything! We're doing aqua, lime/minty green & yellow with a little orange thrown in (flowers). For all of you turquoise/aqua/teal & red girls, I found a few inspiration boards at perfect palette (I'm obsessed with that website). Great combination! The Perfect Palette: Inspiration Board # 260: Aqua & Red The Perfect Palette: Inspiration Board # 215: Cherry Pickin' The Perfect Palette: Inspiration Board # 97: Teal, Gold, Red & Orange The Perfect Palette: Inspiration Board # 50: Aqua & Red

Hey girls, I totally hear you! We had a hard time deciding at first too but then just decided to go with our two favorite colors - blue & green. It's sort of turned into aqua, a minty-ish green & yellow. BM's are wearing 3 different color dresses - aqua, clover green & a buttery yellow. And I think I want gerbera daisies in orange, pink, yellow - not totally sure, just something tropical. Anyway this website was really helpful for me in choosing colors and they have inspiration boards put together in a ton of combos. If you scroll down a bit you can select by color on the left. The Perfect Palette Good luck deciding!

oooh I love that dress & strapless will look great! congrats on finding your fabric (& saving a ton of money!)!

Congratulations Timberly!! Hope you have a perfect day! Can't wait to hear all about it & of course see all the pictures!

Here they are: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...de-roux-55318/ Enjoy! They're terrific! I think they're some of my favorite passport ones! Ana did such a wonderful job on them & you guys included a ton of great info - I don't even think you need a pre-travel brochure or packet (unless you wanted to send luggage tags or something). Congrats on getting them mailed out!

Amy, they're absolutely wonderful!! I love the vintage feel & all of the great stamps! Also love the lined envelopes! Congrats on getting them out & kudos to Ana for making them!

Those are just amazingly beautiful pictures! And I recognized some of our lovely BDWers!! Congratulations on such a great year!

Here's the update on the caketopper I posted about in November. I contacted Waxela (SpiritMama on Etsy) requesting a beach-themed topper & she had never done one before so was really excited about doing it. She was a pleasure to work with & had great ideas. Now she's added it to her Etsy listings! Goddesses Sock Monkey cake toppers Art Dolls by SpiritMama on Etsy SpiritMama Art and Soul I just love these little guys
