my inspiration

i've had a vision of my wedding for years.  i just needed someone to make my ideas come to life.
i knew i wanted to incorporate a beachy theme into my wedding.  i wanted to use seashells and starfish and flip flops of course!  i've always loved those paper lanterns!
i also wanted to use shades of purples and pinks throughout the ceremony and reception.  that bouquet is one of my favorites!
i love the purple chair ties.

so, to help out with my ideas, johnathan, his mom, and i met with megan from crystal coast event rentals.  she took my ideas, showed me what they had (which is pretty much anything) and made my vision come to life!  i never knew there were so many options!  we chose lots of shades of purple and other accessories that i think will bring my "purple beach" theme together!
we chose this arbor for the ceremony.  it will be decorated with greenery and starfish!
some rows will have a lantern hung with a shepard's hook.  imagine flowers cascading out of the lanters.
all the chairs will be tied with purple chair ties and a starfish.
i plan on getting crafty and making some cute signs to lead guests to the ceremony area!
the lanterns will double as part of our centerpieces for the reception.  great idea to save some money!
this is very similar to what we want to do (minus the fishing net).  the flowers will still be in the lantern and candles will be placed around it along with seashells.
several paper lanterns will hang above the dance floor.
i plan on getting crafty once again and making johnathan and i signs to hang on our chairs at the reception!

i guess that's enough of a sneak peak for now!  come to our wedding to see how it all comes together! :)
