The Location





Our wedding will take place on the beach in Siesta Key! We're getting married at Sunset Pointe on Siesta Beach.


The Ceremony

Here is the bamboo canopy we'll be saying our vows under:


I plan on hanging strings of orchids and crystals from the canopy like these:


UPDATE!
I finally got around to making the orchid/crystal strings...it has taken FOREVER! I love how they have turned out though. I got everything at Michael's. All I used was some fishing line, a couple orchid bushes and some crystal beads that I found in the wedding department. I made knots to act as little stoppers for the orchids and crystals.



I got some palm leaf fans from Bliss Weddings Market. I am spray painting them chocolate brown and wrapping the handles in green ribbon




Newsletter & Luggage Tags

I am sending out some personalized luggage tags and a little newsletter about a week before the wedding


 



Welcome Bags

I got these welcome bags from www.blissweddingsmarket.com



Water Bottle Labels:




STD's

I made my STD's on PowerPoint and then uploaded them onto Vistaprint. I did large magnets and post-cards -- everyone loved them!





Invitations

I also made my AHR invitations on PowerPoint and I am going to have them printed by Vistaprint

Guestbook

I am making my guestbook using Picaboo. It's still a work in progress but feel free to check out the whole book at:





Candy Bar

I ordered these brown and green Chinese Take-Out boxes for the Candy Bar.  I also ordered these address labels from Vistaprint that say "Love is Sweet" that I'm going to stick onto the boxes

   



My Bouquet

I ordered my bouquet from Angel's Accents. They should be arriving some time in May, but here are some of my inspirational bouquets:

 
 


BM Bouquets

BM bouquets are also from Angel's Accents -- They're going to be a mix of green orchids and some other stuff..




Bout's

   



Centerpieces

 
 

UPDATE!

Here's my first centerpiece trial -- It will be sitting on a round mirror and having votives surrounding it(provided by venue) so it won't look so plain :)






Cake!

 
 


Cake Topper

I got my monogram cake topper from www.weddingaccents.com for $25
It will  be a little "A", a little "J" and a big "B"




Cake Table

I love these hanging orchids on the cake table





THE DRESS!

My dress is Allure, style # 8432. This dress was around $800 in the bridal shops but I ended up finding it on Ebay for $250!

 

I am having some MAJOR reconstruction done to it though -- We cut the straps off so that it will look something like this:



I'm nervous!!


FI & GM Attire

We got FI's suit 1/2 off at JcPenney's for $150!



Groomsmen will be wearing white button downs and khaki pants with a brown belt




BMs

I don't know how it worked out this way, but all of my BM's chose the same dress! My MOH is wearing it in green while the rest of the girls are wearing it in mocha

 



Hair

I have no clue what I'm going to do with my hair...But I love all of these

     





The Bling


 



Dayton AHR

We're having our AHR on 08/09/08 at Top of the Market -- I absolutely love this place!

 



For Sale

Yeah, I'm crazy...I'm not a 2 dress bride, I'm a 3 dress bride! I NEED to get rid of these dresses, someone please buy one!

If you are interested in either of these dresses, e-mail me at AshNicole331 at aim dot com
I will only accept PayPal as payment (this is safest for you and for me)


The first dress is ABS By Allen Schwartz. It is a size 10 and looks so pretty on, very beachy.
It is brand new/never worn.
I paid about $300 from Nordstrom's but I'm willing to let it go for $150 so I can just get rid of it...


 







The other dress is by Bari Jay. It is white and very flattering and surprisingly light.
It is a size 12 and is brand new/never worn with the tags still attached.
I am asking $150 for this dress as well.


"Strapless, sweetheart shirred bodice, with inset skirt, Includes matching shawl.This strapless gown features a sweetheart neckline, shirred bodice and an inset mermaid skirt with fishtail train. Includes matching shawl."
