Thanks! I ordered the starfish from US Shells (it's posted in another thread too) - white finger starfish, 3-4"

My bridesmaid Nancy and I glued magnets on the back. I cut the pink/yellow ribbon before I left and printed, cut, and hole-punched the name cards. The first night I arrived in Cabo Dave's sisters helped me tie the ribbon and the cards to the starfish. I didn't want anything to get squished on the plane. We rented the glass boxes from Fun & Motivation. I gave the starfish to Emeline (one zip-lock bag per letter of the alphabet). She filled the boxes with sand and then arranged the starfish in ABC order. It worked out as I had planned. When Katie got married at the Hilton in June, I believe her florist (Elena Damy) took care of everything for her regarding the starfish and boxes.

Thanks Christa! Yes, I was a little starfish and corset happy. I wanted everything to tie together. I ordered my starfish boquet jewel off e-bay and paid about $12 including shipping. I provided all of the ribbon to the florist and a picture of how I wanted the ribbon on my bouquet. My sister and I found the flower girl's dress together. My niece loves pink so she was over the moon about the pink corset ribbon and pink ballet shoes.

Thanks Sarah! I was very happy with how all the decor and details came together at the reception. My new MIL and several others commented how they liked the artistic details too.

Maria Elena - can I hire you to make my wedding an exact replica of yours? It seriously was amazing! You are fantastic!
