Wedding Party
Dress Inspiration
I loved thd colors and and look of these Alfred Angelo dresses. It was the unexpected in my wedding, as most people are expecting purple - as it's my favorite color. These colors lend themselves to the beach theme, and tie in my purple in flowers. I have a small wedding party, so the girls are all wearing the same dress. Below are some of the dresses they tried on. Ultimatesly, they went with the dress I picked, but we changed up the colors a little with deeper tones
Flower Girl's Dress
I found a dress off the rack at a local department store at Christmas time. I debated buying it, but thought if it didn't go with my dress I could return it. When I put it next to my dress it was an almost perfect match to the beading and lace, and the slight ivory color was barely noticable. But I didn't want a dress that was all white and looked like a little bride, so I embellished it with matching satin ribbon in the accent color to my BM. I first added the trim under the lace on the satin skirt, and then needing more color on top, added the thin ribbon loops at the waistline. The back lacked color, so I removed the lace on the bow, added more ribbon, and re-attached the lace. I love it! I also found the most adorable shoes at Target that are again a perfect match for the dress! Can't wait to see it on her for the first time! The whole outfit was less than $75! That beats what they want for custom dresses! We'll had lace ankle socks and the outfit will be complete!
Accessories
As gifts for the girls, they're getting the necklace, earrings that I found on sale around Christmas.
They're also getting flip flops with blue glass beads to wear on the beach.
I have canvas bags with the first letter of their names embroidered on them as well so that they can pack all their stuff for the wedding day in one place. Ordered them from the Knot Shop

Groomsmen
Our groomsmen are wearing navy blue blazers, white dress shirts, and khaki pants. My fiance wanted it casual, and no jackets and ties, but I had my heart set on for-get-me-nots and lilly of the valley boutinerres, so he gave in. He didn't want them to have to spend money on tux rentals, and this was more casual.
Their gifts are coordinating ties and tie tacks with starfish on them. This was our theme. I found ties after much web surfing that had the right colors and theme, as well as child size ties and a bow tie. We ordered one first to make sure it worked, then ordered the rest. The tie tacks are made from Bermuda pennies an have a starfish on them as well. Not sure if I'm doing socks as well. I haven't found anything yet that coordinates.
