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.
