Starfish Brooch Pin

 

 

700

 

I found this on Ebay for $11 Cdn. - It is exactly what I was looking for my bouquet!

Silk Rose Petals

700

 

Originally I purchased these to make a no mess aisle runner (Shout out to MIssBubbles for the great idea).  But I have decided to use them on my dinner tables for the DW & AHR (all colours mixed) down the centre of each table instead of table runners.  These petals are super easy to transport.  Each plastic bag of petals contains 100 pieces.

 

I found them on Ebay for $4.30 Cdn. for 1,000 petals.  I ordered 4,000 Blue - 4,000 Purple - 1,000 Cream (Which I think is WAY too many, but I may find more uses for them as a continue to plan).  Wonderful product!  TONS OF COLOURS AVAILABLE

Starfish Charms

 

 

700

 

I purchased these starfish charms off Ebay for $5.00 for 100 of them.  I am using these for my invitations tied with purple raffia.  I thought it was a great price for 100 of them!!

 

 

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/330584382786?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4771wt_1185

 

 

Zip Lock Baggies

 

 

700

 

Again I found these on Ebay, for $8.70 for 1,000 of them.  I am using these for my OOT bags for the different medications I am including.  FI and I figure it was cheaper to purchase huge Advil, Pepto., ect bottles form costco than buying the individual packages.  So we will use these baggies and then label each bag with a DIY label.

Sand Ceremony Picture Frame

 

 

700

 

I purchased this shadow box picture frame from Michaels @ $14.99 used a 25% off coupon, so I paid $12.70 for it.  I plan to make my own Sand Ceremony picture frame (there is a forum on BDW for this project).  I couldn't bare spending 70+ dollars on one when I can make my own for under $20.

 

DIY Bouquets, bout.'s & Corsages

 

 

700

 

I purchased these wonderful White rose heads from Ebay for $30 for 60.. I ordered 120 of them for $60.  They are silk flowers and exactly what I was looking for, they are just missing the flower steams.  Which I have found at Michaels and they are easy to attach a steam for bouquets.

700

 

I purchased these blue Orchids from Save-On-Crafts.com for $24 for 30 of them.  Again if steams are needed I can easily add them.  

 

(CANADA BRIDES:  Save-on-crafts does not ship to Canada;  I got these shipped to a wonderful BDW bride in Boston and she kindly shipped them to me <3 She is my life saver!!!)

I am using the white Roses and Blue orchids for my 9 bouquets, 9 bout.'s & 3 corsages, this project is costing me around $100-$150, once all the supplies are bought to make them.  I am saving a TON of money as I got a quote from Bloom Bridal in Toronto for them to make and my quote was around $800.  Check out you tube for making your own bouquets, bout.'s and corsages; it looks quite easy :)  Once mine are made I will post them!

 

This is my inspiration:

 

700

 

(But my roses are more real looking).

 

Chalkboard Signs

 

 

700

 

I bought these from Michaels in the wedding section (Brand: Wedding).  I am using these for our engagement pictures this January when we visit out resort where we plan to marry.  I am sure these will have some other uses for the wedding, as all we need to do is erase the chalk and write whatever we would like on them :)

 

These are $16.99/each -->  They were on sale for $12.99 when I bought them so I couldn't use my 50% off coupon I had.  But still a great item as they are reusable.

 

to be continued........

Thanks for sharing! I like the idea of the small plastic baggies! I bet it would save money to buy a big bottle of medicine and put it in each bag! Thanks again!

No problem... I have looked at buying the individual packages that contain 2 or so pills.... they are so much more than if you just do it this way :) Your welcome!

Hey Kay,

Have you already received the bags? I was looking at ordering some then started thinking about the DIY label. The bag seems so small I have no clue how to make the label. I'd like to do one for each type of medicine. Have you made a template for your labels yet?

Do you think something like these labels would be too big to stick on the bags? (I got these from other brides on these boards)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
