Aqua, tan (sand) with a punch of coral

Aqua, tan (sand) with a punch of coral

Idea board

Now I'm not recommending all of this stuff but I was just trying to compose a general idea and feel of the Aqua, tan, and pop of coral look. I think this would be great to mix with the vintage look (that's why I included the pic of the vintage drawer).

This is just me throwing out a general feel for the scheme.

oh and the aqua parasol is a must for pictures if you're doing aqua at all :) I think it would be incredibly romantic.


Aqua, tan and coral -Wedding Party



So here are a few items that I like for the wedding party...

Starting with the left: (tell me if there are any you like and I will send you the links to the websites. I have them all bookmarked on my computer)


Little boys bow tie -would be for if you had any coordinating little boys with your wedding party. Not sure if you need this but I thought it was cute. It comes in adult sizes as well.

Flower girl dress- I LOVE this flower girl dress. The only problem are the sleeves. But it's a perfect color and comes in sizes 2-16. This comes off of cutieclothes.com for $39.95. Not a bad price either and you could have all your flower girls order them for themselves.

Coral Ring- Just found this, loved it. But I was thinking it would be really great to use coral colored mums (the type of flower) in the arrangements for your "pop" -- the real deal, not the plastic ring.

The striped tie- I LOVE this tie because I think it is so nice to have some print of stripe rather than a plain color. Totally up to you though. Also, if you end up renting a tux for Jesse, then a tie will probably be included. So this might be good for other guys who you want to include in the wedding but don't want to get a tux for.

The coral necklace and the aqua- just loved them. Thought it was a pretty detail.

Coral Bridesmaid dress- Okay so I have an alternative for this one if you don't like it. I know you only want a "pop" of the color coral so if this dress is too bold, I totally understand. But it is close to being modest... $46.99 off of overstock.com. I'll include the other option below.

Tan tux- You don't have to use this one but I threw it up there to get the whole visual image. But I think it would be stunning with the beach thing.


Okay here is the collage with a different bridesmaid dress... It's white but it's $44.99 on overstock.com and then you could pair it with this coral sweater for $22.

Center pieces for aqua, tan, and coral theme

Okay...
Thought these were pretty awesome.
For two reasons:

1) You could save costs for flowers. I'm not saying to not do flowers but you can do this idea on some of the tables and do flowers on some. Possibly cuts costs and is super cute.

2) Also, I saw a do-it-yourself tutorial on taking sticks from the craft store and painting them a coral color and using them for this center piece. Pretty nifty. You probably want to start looking for bulk of cheap shells if you want to go with the beach theme. I'll look as well.
