These projects are great!

I have been looking for a template for wedding programs that can be attached to a raffia fan. I would like to hear how others are attaching the program to the fans.

I am hoping I can find a template for my wedding programs. I would like to hear how others are attaching the wedding programs to the raffia fans.

These are really cute! I think I might give them a try.

I knew I wanted a silk bouquet because I didn’t want any unpleasant surprises with a live bouquet, I wanted to show it off at our AHRs, and I just couldn’t make up my mind in general. I tossed the idea of having either a crystal bouquet or a feather bouquet but they were really expensive. I finally found a bouquet that I fell IN LOVE with. The feathers I had my vendor (Plumerias Wedding Flower Boutique) use in my bouquet I used for my boutonnieres. I purchased some beads from Beadaholique (I think). I purchased the wire from a local beading store. I made these at about 9:30 pm, only 6 hours before we left for the airport for Cancun. I was extremely rushed and stressed out so I didn’t get to wrap ribbon or green floral tape around the base like I kind of wanted to. Centerpieces Oh boy, I don’t even know where to start with this one. This is something else that took me many many months to finally decide. I decided on these centerpieces about 5 days before we left for Cancun. In that time I had to rush the trees/branches. That cost A BUNDLE. I bought the trees at Crystal WeddingTrees & Hanging Crystals for Centerpieces & Decor. I had to order the gold ones in order to have them ship out in time so we bought good quality silver leaf spray paint to make them silver. The crystals in the vase are acrylic “gems†from Hobby Lobby. I also bought some of the very small acrylic diamonds. The little pink lights are pink floralytes. The pink orchids are extra stems that I purchased from the woman who made my bouquet. The crystals were ordered online. The vases were the resorts. Parasols I posted about making these parasols in a different thread: Best Destination Wedding Forum ~ The Ultimate Destination Wedding Resource This will open up to the exact page where I posted my instructions on how I made mine. Return Address Labels Thank you to JMB0902 for the Address Labels. I love her idea and because my mother in law had a circular punch I knew these would be perfect. We are using them on our Thank You postcards. I also made some from JMB’s templates for the AHR that my in-laws were having us. Instead of the address it said “You’re Invited! May 2, 2009â€. I hope to use this same idea for my sister’s wedding to give it some flair.  Playing Card Template This is from MarieSam…another amazing bride on here! I LOVED her template so I just changed the colors and font and voila, a cool template for our card cases! I think the playing cards are cool. I may try this for my OOT bags.

Thanks for sharing. I am sure I will put this link to use for my OOT bags.

Ladies, thanks for sharing. Now I know what I can do with Vista Print.

It's beautiful!

Your dress is gorgeous and your shoes are cute. I don't think they are a perfect match for each other.

They are outstanding. I love the colors. Where did you get you jacket papers?

It's stunning! I love the colors.

And yes, the travel mug was the biggest hit by far! Everywhere we went on the resort, my guests had their mugs. It was very convienent and well used at the bar! The only thing that I second guess is the use of the monogrammed canvas tote as the OOT bag itself. While I loved it & will certainly use it again & again, I wonder who else will really use it again, with the exception of my mother! While it made for a great beach bag as I did see my guests using it on the beach or on our shopping tours, I'd still love to know if it will get used this summer by anyone else. Maybe I should have gone with the personalized paper gift bag or god forbid, skipped putting my monogram on it & just gone with a generic Jamaica design. Just food for thought for you brides to be! You bring up a valid point. I think I will think twice about putting our monogram on our OOT bags. Thanks for mentioning this issue.

Thanks for sharing.
