  1. She bought them from Logo Lenses and she really liked the company. http://www.logolenses.com/shop/wayfarer-2-tone-sunglasses
  2. Cake Our Cake Toppers ($25.99) and Aqua Blue 2.5†Sola Flowers ($4/12pack) are from Save-On-Crafts Centerpieces I didn’t get very many pictures of the centerpieces. My mom made the table runners and the tables were lined with candles, and floating flowers. 3†Square Glass Candle Vases ($1/each from Dollar Tree) with 2.25†Sola Zinnia Flower ($6/12pack from Save-On-Crafts) and White Candle Bio Light ($28/48pack from Save-On-Crafts). Place Cards I got the idea from another bride on this site. I purchased Kate Aspen Shell Placeholders from Target ($7/per set of 12) and painted them blue. I made the name tags with cardstock that matched our invitations. Guest Book We had our guests sign a sand dollar and had them standing up in a tray of sand. I plan on displaying them in a shadow box, but I’m still playing with the lay out. I ordered 2 ½†Sand Dollars from Quality Shells for $0.72/each. Photographer We used Fine Art Studio Photography. We hired Diego and Alvaro for 4 hours. You can read my review here.
  3. Sunglasses My sister and brother-in-law surprised us in Mexico with custom sunglasses for all our guests. My sister and I were at the printer (Scudder Press, Inc.) working on my AHR invitation when I noticed the sunglasses and said I wish I had thought about doing them for the wedding. She ordered them and didn’t even say anything about it until we were in Mexico. We handed them out at the Welcome dinner and everyone wore them the whole weekend. Fans We ordered fans from The Knot in light blue and blue on sale for $0.89/each. The fans were placed on the chairs for the ceremony. Maracas We ordered maracas from Amols in brite blue and light blue for $1.95/pair or $0.99/each. The maracas were placed on the chairs for the ceremony and I made the shake at the kiss tag. Heads up, the designs on the maracas do not match what is pictured on the webpage. Some were very pretty, others had paintings of bunnies, crabs, fish, etc. I ended up ordering way too many before I knew the exact number of guests so I was able to pick out the designs I liked the most. Reserved Seating Signs I made these reserved seating signs for our parents, siblings, spouses and their children.
  4. Welcome Bags Our welcome bags were a huge hit. Our guests loved all their goodies. The cups, cameras and totes seemed to be utilized the most. We gave one bag per single guest/couple and had a total 24 Welcome Bags. They cost $11/single guest and $12/couple before tax. For couples, we included 2 tumblers per bag. Tote Bag ($1, Dollar Tree) and Flip Flop Luggage Tag ($1.67, Target) Underwater Camera ($4.13, Ebay Seller aqua2209) Plastic Tumbler ($1, Dollar Tree) and Waterproof Tumbler Sticker ($0.40, Davet Designs on Etsy) Spanish Phrases for Dummies ($1, Office Depot) Aloe ($1, Dollar Tree) Extra Tote Bag ($0.79, Ikea). Our guests got two tote bags because I didn’t feel like running back to Ikea to make a return for $24. Both bags were used by our guests. I liked the Dollar Tree bags more for the presentation and sturdiness and I liked the Ikea bags because they were bigger and you could fold them up nicely.
  5. Attire We got a great deal from Macy’s on Lane's outfit (we spent about $80). Tasso Elba Pants, Linen Flat Front Trouser Pants and Tasso Elba Shirt, Island Linen Roll Tab Shirt. My dress is BLU By Mori Lee Style 4902 I ordered wedge shoes in ocean blue from Design Your Pedestal for $84 and the shoe clips from LX Designs for $29 both on Etsy
