Archived Comments: The Aqua Blue Wedding Theme (Page 3)

TARA i would love to rent the chair covers e-mail me at lilyangel1303@aol.com

Tara-I don’t think there will be enough time to clean them and then send them to you because I will have to rely on my parents to do so. The price is negotiable.

Lisa -
Can i ask how much you are selling them for. mine is august 16th

Hey girls! I’m getting married on August 8 and my wedding colors are Tiffany blue, pink, and brown accents. I will be buying about 25 108″ round tiffany blue tablecloths. Is anyone interested in buying them from me afterwards for half price? Happy planning!

im having a hard time trying to find aqua and canary match books for my wedding (those are my colors) i can find the napkins but the books dont carry the same colors for the match books - any suggestions as to where i can find them that is the only hold up for my wedding planning!!!!

Hi Tiffany brides,

I think I’ve seen this on the blog before. But I just purchased 200 tiffany bags on ioffer for 120.00 that included shipping .50 per bag! The size of the bags are the smaller bags 5×3x6 but the great size put your favors in and set on the table. The seller is Style Bonanza listed under iOfferLite. I hope this help some of you that’s looking for favor bags at great price. I didn’t even try to negotiate because I thought the price was very reasonable.

hi everyone

am planning a wedding for my friend and the colors are tiffany blue and chocolate brown i need help combining it i dont known which color to use for table covers , sashes also napkins and the flowers for center piece but the chair covers are cream

I am having a Tiffany Blue/Chocolate Brown wedding on 6/28/2008 and am wanting to know if someone can tell me where they obtained their submersible light from.
Also was wondering if someone knew where I could obtain tiffany blue or aqua paper napkins and dessert plates from as I was going to use them for the cake table.

There is also a wrapping paper that you can use to cover the boxes. I am afraid that I cannot paint that well. THE BOXES SHOWN HERE LOOK GREAT!

I am having a difficult time finding jewelry to go with my bridesmaids aqua dresses because I want the jewelry to have yellow in it or have just a yellow pendant to tie their jewelry together with their yellow roses in their bouquet’s. Any ideas?

Loleta,
I actually just bought 3 different size cake boxes which can be found in any craft store or Party City (pretty cheap too ranging from 70-40 cents each) I spray painted the boxes using Robins Egg from Michaels (Thanks to Danielle I was able to find) and then the white ribbon to finish it off. The only thing with spray painting is that you just have to have major patience and take your time painting them so the paint doesn’t run. So once the paint is dry you just stack them and tie the ribbon around. I purchased the bow on top separately just because I thought it would be prettier than me trying to tie it.

Ericka- CONGRATS!!

Okay, ladies, I have been away for awhile, but I am back and need to get into the grove of things. I had been planning BEFORE being “officially engaged.”

WELL - this past weekend I became “officially engaged.” It’s almost like a fairy-tale story. Just think being whisked off to NY City for a weekend and a wedding proposal (on bended knee) on stage in front of a sold-out crowd at Radio Music City Hall. I was told we were going to a concert to see one of my favorite artists (we are from Ohio). He surprised me with back-stage passes and a complete surprise of the artist introducing him and bringing him to the mic. I was astonished to say the least. He even presented the ring in the Tiffany Box. He decorated our room with Tiffany Colored Rose Petals, etc. Another keepsake is the glass Tiffany and Company Box filled with faux diamonds and a music cd that he made for me - it is filled with songs related to marriage. The cd cover was done in Tiffany Blue and titled “Volume I: The Proposal Will You Marry Me?” He says there will be a total of III Volumes in this process.

Super-exciting! I just returned home and to work and I am so much on cloud nine that I don’t know what day it is.

So - back to Tiffany - I have ordered some of the bags and while in New York I purchased the most splendid bolt of satin fabric in the EXACT TIFFANY COLOR. I will have the overlays for the reception tables made - rather than ordered/rented. I also purchased gift boxes and yards of ribbon (white and tiffany) at the best prices.

You have to be careful about the color because I have seen way too many variations of the color. It isn’t blue actually.

Can someone help with BrideMaids dresses? What about the Davinci dresses mentioned by Tyra. Can I see a picture, please? Also, I’m like Cecilia - does anyone know where to buy the dresses pictured on this site?

Bee: I would be interested in your boxes when you’re done with them.

I hope I didn’t bore you all too much with my story - but I am still floating and had to share

Thank you Abby -
do you happen to have any ideas for other songs for the tiffany themed wedding. I had all my songs picked out before then i changed my theme to the tiffany blue. now i’m having issues with song choice

A lot of people have covered the song - but Andy Williams is going to be your best bet

anyone know who sings the “Moon River song?

RHONDA the boxes are superb, please give me the details on how you did it? how were the boxes made?

Tiffany R.
I just bought 300 chair covers i will be renting out. would you be interested in renting them. It would be cheaper then any place you can find online?
If your interested email me at tara_heisz@uiuonline.org

Hello Everyone! Yesterday I spent an hour reading everyone’s post and you all have given me so many ideas! My wedding is 08-15-09. I am going with the Tiffany blue (for my name) and brown theme. I know I have plenty of time but I want to get everything done and organized. Thanks for all the great ideas it has been a tremendous help. I really like the idea of the boxes and the crystals. All of the pictures are really nice. Keep sharing ideas and websites. Has anyone found any really cheap chair covers?

Wow those look just like mine!! Good job!! The only thing is I wrapped mine with wrapping paper. I know my mother was concerned about the height of the boxes, she wanted to make sure everybody can see evrything. But I was not about to change it. I will be completly fine. My wedding is June 14th 2008. Time is flying and kind of nervous. But a very good job Rhonda

Hey everyone!! My wedding is in May 09 and my head is filled with so many ideas. I want to do the tiffany boxes as centerpieces so I decided to experiment and try to do the boxes myself. Take a look at my pics and tell me what you think. I’m open to any suggestions and congrats to everyone!!

Tara, try here:

http://stores.ebay.com/vonLindern-Design-Studio

Tyra -
You wouldn’t happen to have an item number from ebay i can look up then get to the seller that way would you. i’m not able to find it by looking up von Lindern Design Studio.

thanks

Annie..

The lady on ebay’s store is von Lindern Design Studio. If you don’t find it for some reason directly on ebay then google it. She has been awesome to work with. She’s also making all of my menu cards, table numbers & place cards. I also ordered fan style programs from her.

Shana, I will post a pic this weekend. The one I have now doesn’t have very good lighting.

I LOVE them too. I would like to know where to find them.

Hey, Everyone, a question. Does anyone know where to find the Tiffany and Company Ring Box? It’s the traditional ring box that you see with the white ribbon on it.

Thanks.

the picture on this web page of bridesmaids in the tiffany type dresses are just what i want, doesn’t anybody know where i can get a duplicate of this kind

Hi Bee,
I would be interested in your boxes. Please post pics when you have them.
Thanks,
Shana

Erika,

I bought my 2×2x2 boxes from http://www.sophiesfavors.com . The color code is aqua blue and you can get a free color sample set of what they supply for free or you can also pay for differnt things as well but the color sample set gives you a great varity of ribbon, stickers, the favor boxes, and tags without spending money.

Tyra

what is the link for the lady you found in ebay?

Hey, Tyra. I don’t think the dress pictures came through. I can see the STD card - too cute.

Who bought the 2″x2″ Tiffany Box for favors. I have discovered tooooo many sites with them for sale (THEY DON’T SAY T&C), but how can you be sure of the color. I am looking for the ones that match the bags as close as possible. If anyone has their boxes, please let me know where they came from and what “color code, etc.” they are.

I may be interested in purchasing the larger boxes as I cannot seem to find them either. Can you upload a picture.

I don’t plan on having a wedding planner involved through all of the DIY process and research, but I do plan to have one the day of the event. I have met with a girl here in my hometown and I like her alot.

Good Luck to Everyone - You all have me excited for you

Tyra: Are you using the bags or the boxes for the favors?:P

what decor ideas for the ceremony do u girls have??

Hi ladies,
Anyone having a wedding planner? do i even need one? i feel all my research i can pretty much do it all.. any thoughts??:-”

Finally..here are the pics. The first one is of the dress style. The 2nd is the dress color and the 3rd the STD magnet

Hi Erika,

I found Viola on E-bay.god I love e-bay. It’s Von Lindern Design Studio store. She rocks!! She’s doing my favors too. Can you just imagine the little Tiffany bags smelling like Tiffany perfume! I can’t wait.

I designed my own std cards I used a picture of a Tiffany Box &
infused in the picture of my e-ring with our information around it. I’ll try to attach a picture but the last time it didn’t come across too clear.

My bridesmaids dresses are from Davinci bridal If you see the 2 pics the first one is of the actual dresses and the 2nd one is of the color..it’s called irredecent taffeta the picture doesn’t do it justice. It brings out different colors depending on what light it’s in..it looks platinum..a hint a hint of Tiffany blue in certain lights. The bouquets will be cream and pink calla lillies wrapped in Tiffany blue ribbon.

Hey all - i’m not sure what to do for favors. I am having the tiffany blue, silver and white colors. and i’ve thought about doing the tiffany blue boxes as favors. But I already have my cake picked out and don’t really want to change it to the tiffany box cake.
anyone have any ideas for me please
Tara

Hello All!
My wedding approaching now (May 31) and I am using Stacked Tiffany boxes as centerpieces. The sizes are:
10×10x6
8×8x6
6×6x6
I found spray paint at Wal Mart and sprayed them.
If anyone is interested in buying them, then you can email me @ bsingleton25@aol.com. I have about 30 sets of them and will have no use for them after May 31!
I have a friend tieing ribbon around them now, but I will take pics today and post them tomorrow.

Tyra: You are doing it! I love the idea of the reed diffuser. You must shoot a pix and post it.

You are also a wealth of resource information. Please share the woman who does the stationary. Again, my wedding isn’t until 5/09, but I am putting all of these ideas to work now. I am not ready for the invitation quite yet, but I will file her email/information for later use.

What did some of you ladies use for save the date cards? Any ideas?

I didn’t buy the boxes last night. I am still holding out to find the tiffany and company 2″x2″ box. Tyra (and Anyone) do you know where to find this size box with the lid? I also need larger boxes - like the centerpiece ones that someone else on this site used.

So what BM dresses are you all using? Are they tiffany color?

Thanks, Ya’ll.

I think I figured out what favor I want to put in the bags tonight. I’m going to make mini reed diffuser with the Tiffany perfume scent. Man, I’m outta control!

Hi Ladies,

If anyone is looking for custom stationary ie. menu cards, table numbers, or place cards etc. I found this awesome lady through e-bay. Everything she does is custom made. She duplicated my monogram from my invitation tag to coordinate all of the stationary using the Tiffany Blue color. I ordered 100 menu cards, 20 table numbers, 100 place cards and 100 favor tags for $100 and $8.95 shipping that is the best deal I’ve seen for custom work..I’m too excited right now.

Hi Erika,

I’m still trying to figure out what to put in the boxes and bags..I’m considering either a custom wrapped votive tin..and or a scratch of lotto ticket. We are also making a donation to the American Cancer Society in memory of my FI’s father who passed away 5 years ago.

Ericka- you can use a sticker with your info printed on them to cover up the mis-printed name and date… if you got a white, or silver they would look fine… I wouldn’t try to find a tiffany blue to match because getting the shades exact would probably be close to impossible… I think silver or white would look nice and make sure to do a dark ink, probably black. just try it on one first and see if it looks ok… I guess the choice is do you buy them for the deal and problem solve later… or just order your own…

Good Job, Tyra! I am happy for you.
I have talked with the seller and I am buying from her. Like I said, I just wish I had found her sooner. What are your favors?

Question for Everyone: Does anyone have any idea what to do with the boxes that have the wrong date etched on the top of them? I would buy them (on ebay-ending today), but I have been wrecking my brain about what I can do with them. I need some ideas - the price is so right.
See JACKIE below.

Thanks.

Try looking under this heading. If you just start clicking starting w/ Jewelry or try and go through the item #. It said today that she had 150 left at $.50. I hope this helps.

Tyra

Annie,

I am guessing you are talking about the vases being to thin. They have a pretty heavy base. We bought the white frosted vases and are placing white sand just to be sure they wont get knocked over. You can put water in them also to steady if you want. We have very large 8 - 12 person round tables so they shouldnt get knocked over (I hope). I am slightly worried about them getting knocked over, but i think guests should realize the problem that could happen and be careful. I made sure to only place them on the large round tables, I am not putting them at the head table because I know my bridal party and we get very clumsy when we drink. I dont think they will fall in you place them at a large table.

I am having a local florist friend do my flowers, Golden Carriage in Dover PA.

Tyra,

I checked ioffer,but did not find. what do write for search.Tank you

Hello. Danielle: where did you get those super cute BM dresses! so happy i found this site-so many ideas and links. It’s great. Thanks to all of you!!!!

erika, here is what i did within my 7500 budget.

wedding/reception was 3000. ( i am a military brat and my husband is navy so we get an AWeSOME deal on base, the bev and food min was only 1000)

photographer was 500. i got an amazing college senior who is amazing and experienced with a great port

dj 500. i am a performer and my dj from my ship is doin it for that mcuh!

horse and carriage 600

cake 100 my aunt is a cake maker and is making the cupcakes with tiffany boxes on top and then the top will be a tiffany box cake

$50 inviation/ name plates/ programs. i got the DIY from walmart on clearnece in the winter. beyond a good deal! added some tiffany ribbon

my aunt for my gift is doin the flowers. but there not expensive at alllll. all the girls will get single white roses with tiffany ribbon and i will have a full white rose bouquet. all the boys will have a white rose

750 for my dress maggie sottero capri i got it on sale!

400 choc fountain

50 for my centerpieces and giftboxes and TIFFANY blue petals. i took three brand new shoe boxes and painted them tiffany blue. AMAZINGGGGG. my centerpeices will be cake boxes painted tiffany blue with white ribbon and the diamond ring holders ( the boxes are like .30 and they had the rings at target in the 1 bin)

iy’s 5 in the morning so i am goin to bed lol. but basically i spent MONEY on the things that were important to me ie. the dress and the horse and carraige. and was cheap on the things i didn’t care about. ie. invitations and centerpeices. hope this helps

Erika, & Lucy

I emailed you the sellers info from ioffer. I think she still has a bunch of bags left. Again, I do really like the quality. I’m using them to place my guest favors in. I do love the size after all…at first I was scared they were going to be too big for favors but I think they are perfect!!!

It’s going to be so cool to see all of the pretty Tiffany bags at each place setting. My FI was even impressed with the purchase and he’s never impressed with me and my love of Tiffany.

My wedding is in 89 days..08.02.08. I can’t wait. Also, a comment on the pic you found Lucy..from below of the place card holder. It is cute. I had my FI make little wood cubes that I sanded down and he put little slits on the top to hold the name cards. I plan on painting them Tiffany blue and putting little white bows on them. It was nice to see the pic though that it has been done using the gift box idea.

hey girls,

I found this in http://www.americanbridal.com $20 for a set of 12. I thought it was cute and fit with our theme..

Erika,

The diamond shaped candles are above from this website (favorideas.com).

Thanks Erica i have been doing my research it hasnt been easy but its fun lol.. we all need to help each other

Lucy - That all sounds tooooo cute! I love the box and diamond paperweigt. I am going to check out the prices at the links you gave.

Where do you get diamond shaped candles? Love the picture idea!

You all are too creative and inspiring. I am so glad to have found this site

Tyra: Oh No! $.50 - I paid $1.00. I guess I won’t die over it. I would have liked to get more but the shipping was outrageous. Can you share the name of the girl you got yours from. You can even email me the name at luchielle1@yahoo.com. I need more so please share the information. AND they are coming from China. I hope they are okay.

I also bought the gift bag sets with the box, bag, pouch, care card and polishing cloth. I am going to buy jewelry for the attendants and put them in the gift bags.

What are you using your bags for?

I placed a bid on 144 votive candles in a sheer (glass) holder on ebay. It’s $50. Is that reasonable.

Please send me the girl’s info - thank you, thank you, thank you.

When is your wedding?

hey girls,

Any ideas for the place cards? r u girls using frames?i need some unique ideas..

Cynthia,

I am doing the a black and white pic of audrey hepburn with my fiancee in a diamond picture frame where my envelope box will go with the diamond shaped candles on this site and pearls all over with white roses…

Hi Erica,

This is the favor (tiffany box) I am using and I am placing these medium diamond-shaped paperwight. The box with ribbon is from http://www.sophiesfavors.com and the diamond paperweight from http://www.favorsbyserendipity.com.

Right on Erika!! I got my bags today!!! I love them..I’m so excited now. I hope you found the girl who was selling the for $.50 a piece. My shipping was cheap because she actually only lived 1 state away. They are going to look sooo HOT!!

Hey, Ladies!

I am new to the site and am amazed at the ideas and creativity that you all have. I am sure your weddings will be simply spectacular.

I took the advice of one bride here and bought the actual tiffany bags from ioffer.com. I haven’t received them yet, but cannot wait until they get here.

My wedding isn’t until 5-09 so I have a chance to learn alot from you all.

Does anyone have any tips on WEDDING DRESSES? This seems to be my most challenging issue thus far.

I think I am using tiffany blue with silver and black. What do you all think about using it with red (my favorite color, and my husand-to-be loves it b/c it’s his fraternity color). I think it is sharp, but I don’t want to be overwhelming.

We are having a church wedding/ceremony and a reception at a really unique restored/renovated library with a ballroom for cocktail hour and a tent for dinner and dancing.

Danielle: PLEASE share. How do are you staying within $7,500. Ideas, please

Lucy: What is the box with the paperweight medium diamond? Can you post a picture or link?

Margaret: Thanks for the advice on efavormart

Margaret, thank you,,but they look thin. You think they can fall. What are you using inside to hold it. Who is doing the flowers for you.

Annie,

I posted the site where i bought the eiffel tower vases farther down on this thread. The company was great to work with and ship fast.

I will have to check to see if i have pics of the top of the eiffel tower vases i am using. If i dont, I am getting married next weekend and can post the pic monday May 12 before i leave for the honeymoon.

Thanks all for your posts.. I do have the eiffel tower vases but haven’t seen any pictures on this site in previous posts unless i missed it.
I am having round tables with the eiffel tower vases on some tables and a shorter centerpiece on others. Just wondering if anyone can get me some ideas.

Danielle, I also thought about headshots of Audrey… but decided on taking black and white Audrey hepburn pictures of myself!

I am also doing a tiffany blue or torquoise and brown wedding….my favorite color has always been blue…does anyone have any centerpiece ideas…..or wedding ideas…please send me pics!!! I need help…

lucy, i have tiffany boxes stacked with ribbon for my center peices. my mom spray painted shoe boxes that look AMAZING the spray paint is tiffany blue and came out PERFECT. i am not sure how i am doing the tables. i might just go with black numbers, but i am also looking at BLACK AND WHITE hollywood headshots of audrey hepburn and marlyin monroe. i think it would be cute

for favors i did tiffany boxes with treats inside.

my flowers are tres simple. all the maids have long stem white roses with tiffany ribbon. i have a full bouqet of white roses with tiffany accents

beilve it or not i am able to stay in my budget which is 7500!! so i am soo happy!!

p.s i really recommend the spray paint. look at micheals or ben franklin under tiffany blue or robins egg!!

hey guyz my friend has used them at her wedding and i can’t remeber them even though i went!!!! but i will see if she has any pics and what she thinks about them. she reccomended them to me though!! They also have the matchin napkins! i am getting so excited you guyz! JULY 12th is soooo soon!!

hey girls,

Any unique ideas for place cards? and or place card table decor? Danielle what r u doing?

Mikina,

Where can I find eiffel tower vases, I love the idea.

Hi Tara,
This is a Tiffany classic candle from: http://www.favorsbyserendipity.com thought its a good idea for our theme too..

Hi Danielle,

Thank u so much for the info on the chair covers- i was about to throw the towel lol- im going to get info on the polyester ones and if my catering hall has saches i wont need to rent those

Tara,

I am using the Tiffany small boxes margaret displayed with the white ribbon and a silk fabric with a “paper weight medium Diamond” - they can go for $3.00 each -hope this helps!

Danielle,
Have you used the Fabulous Events people before? I was wondering if you or anyone you know have used them before and were satified. I am afraid of ordering from there and not getting what I thought or not gettting them in time. Please let me know if you have any testimonials. Thanks,
Adrienne

Tara,

I bought my favors at http://www.sophiesfavors.com. It is a 2×2x2 favor box with a white ribbon, and small tag. I put hershey kisses and hershey hugs in the box for my silver.

There are plenty of pictures mixed in the comments here on this page. I would check it out. You can also google tiffany blue wedding and get loads of pages with ideas. also http://www.knot.com can show you brides that have done the tiffany blue theme. good luck!

CHEAP CHAIR COVERS FINALLY!! ok guyz these people are awesome. http://www.fabulousevents.info/item.php?iid=404
they only charge 2.50 and they have aqua lamour which is the same color as the tiffany blue box!

Ericka,

I bought them and had them printed at the same place. Efavormart Be careful to review everything when you place an order bc they do not refund on items that are personalized if you mess it up. The site is strange too, because the emblems that you can choose are different depending on which item you are ordering. For example, if you order the double hearts for the boxes it looks like the one shown on my boxes. But, if you order the double hearts for the personalized napkins, then the hearts are different. They have an arrow shooting through it. Just be very careful when you are ordering from them and make sure to click on the View More Images to make sure you are keeping with your emblem them if you choose one.

Hey all.. Does anyone have any pictures i can see with the tiffany blue theme. I have a lot left to plan and not even sure where to start.

Please help

TIFFANY i still have the dresses e-mail me at lilyangel1303@aol.com

Mikina,

Just thought of this. If Calla Lillies are her style, and she loves the effel Tower vases you may want to try the suggestion this site makes and go with a paris flair. You can find giant ostrich feathers online, and add some long stemed calla lillies in with them. I dont know if you can find colored ostrich feather but you can try.

Aqua Goes to Paris
Take this flamboyant theme (perfect for bridal showers, too) for a spin by arranging giant ostrich feathers in tall Eiffel vases and scattering marabou feathers plus rose petals down your tables. The perfect boutonnière: a white rose, a few marabou feathers and a shiny aqua ribbon. Très chic!

OR

Use the vases with Turquoise feathers and white Calla Lillies. The feathers i found on this website are only 4-6″ long but they could be incorperated in a centerpiece with the Calla Lilles to give the aqua/pool look without stressing over finding the pool color flowers.

http://www.save-on-crafts.com/feathers2.html

Basically you would make bouquets with the calla lillies, the feathers and greens in a white bouquet holder (you find at a craft store) with a streight holder stick, make them up and then slip them in the top of the eiffel tower vases.

Hope these suggestions help! I know it can be stressful my wedding is in less then 2 weeks. If you have any questions, you can email me mrohrbaugh@verizon.net

HEYYY guyz i just picked the song my maids are walking down to ” MOON RIVER” from breakfast at tiffany’s SOOO PERFECT

Mikina - your florist should be able to get any type of flower in that color for you. you can even take a white rose and get it your blue color, they just spray paint them. that is what i’m doing

Does anyone have any ideas for guest favors with the tiffany blue, white and silver colors?

Mikina,

Finding pool color flowers will be quite difficult indeed but not impossible. Try http://www.theknot.com/keywords/sc_150_527.shtml

At the knot you can view 1,000 of pictures of flowers, different color, different kinds, centerpeices, bouquets etc. I loved this site and it helped me alot thru my wedding, I really suggest this for you to help with ideas.

The only pool color flower I know of is blue hydrangeas. Most likely you will need to add another color for the flowers or you could do just white flowers in the vases with a lot of green fern. Since the wedding is about a month or so away, it could be difficult to get what you need if you dont have a florist but not impossible. Good luck!

My best friend is having a wedding on Jun 16, 2008 and her colors are pool white and silver we are having a very hard time coming up with recetion hall ideas and she not making it any easier being that she is not a lacy danty girl herself but for one day she wants to act like a elegant lady it’s hard time is running out please help oh yea she lovea the idea of the 24′ eiffel tower vases but we are havin a hard time fing pool flowers she love calla lillies and would love them t be pool also having a hard time finding them we live in DE not that many stores to choose from we have no choice but shop on line.

Danielle,
Do you still have the dresses I am interested in 6 of them, please let me know you can e mail me and let me know tiff4402@yahoo.com

Jackie: Where did you buy the boxes and where did you have them printed?

Hi Ladies. I am selling some boxes that I was going to use as favor boxes, unfortunately I had them printed with the wrong date. They can still be used if you place a nice label over the top of the box. Perhaps you can make labels with your own names on it. This is a great buy for any bride on a budget. Check out my auction on ebay. Item number: 300220488047

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300220488047&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020

Good luck with all the planning.

Hey Girl!!!
I think that the color fushia, or yellow would go great with you Aqua blue theme… You could then go with your idea of various colors for the flowers, check out the pictures of flowers on theknot.com it will give you ideas. hope this helps.

Hello,
My bridesmaids dresses and main color is an aqua blue called tropic. It is a few shades darker than the Tiffany blue. I am having a hard time choosing colors to go with it. I have contemplated yellow, pink, fushia, and peach. It’s a spring wedding so I thought about doing a bright mixture of wild flowers of all different colors. Is there any colors that definitely DO NOT go? Just curious what everyone thinks.
Thank You

i decided to go with the tiffany blue and white with a little touch of red. my theme is ‘Love, a gift from above’ does anyone have ideas for centerpieces

Ladies, my wedding is July 14, 2008 and I need HELP. I am currently stationed in Iraq and have been doing ALL of my planning from here. I have postponed this TWICE due to multiple deployments but this time it will happen no matter what.

My colors are tiffany blue, white and silver. I found the tiffany box centerpiece with flowers on several websites but have been unable to find the boxes. I have been searching on line for 3 weeks for the tiffany boxes for my centerpieces but I can not find them anywhere. I have been to a few of the websites (per previous comments) but I still can not find the 2 piece boxes. I have ordered aqua wrapping paper as an alternative please help!
Also, if you have any suggestions on what flowers would look best (color and type) that would be great. I will arrive home just in time for the wedding so I have to do everything online.

ok..here’s the second guessing coming out..Do you think I should sit the actual bags up on the table..on the silver charger etc..cuz I don’t want it to take away from the awesome centerpieces..(mazanita branches w/ orchids..and calla lillies) So should they go on the table setting or on each chair..maybe on the seat or hanging on each chair. I have silver chivari chairs w/ a tiff blue satin sash..the pad is silver. My linen is the gunmetal grey w/ silver and tiff blue circles..the other tables just have solid platinum satin. I think the arrangments might end up tall enough to be seen over the bags but I don’t want to overwhelm the tables either. They won’t be up there the whole time..Geez I’m rambling it’s 12:30 and I’m not sleeping.

Also, i offer is awesome..I had a ebay fight the other day for my Jimmy Choo shoes..I won!! That bridezilla didn’t know who she was messing w/ Tiffany Brides don’t play around!

Today is 99 days so now I’m in double digits now.Yikes

That’ll be great, those bags are going to look really substantial on the tables, you have to take pics! (I just saw pics of an OTT tiff blue wedding where each chair was set with a monster tiff-style gift box, bigger than the seat — maybe there was a free baby in each box?, but I disgress)

I would just maybe put some inexpensive shred or packing tissue in the bags so the 2×2 boxes ‘float’ near the top and people don’t have to fish for them down at the bottom, it’ll look stylish (I know, another thing to buy, right?) Maybe try papermart (link), they are very cheap for this stuff

It’s gonna be cool! I can’t wait to see because I don’t think I’ve seen place settings with the actual tiff bags yet.

Hey Dawn, Do you think of these measurments…I can’t find a ruler! Each Bag measures 5″ front(side to side) x 3″ side(front to back) x 6″ high(bottom to top) Would that do ok for guest favors? I already have the fake blue boxes to go inside. I hope they work cuz I just bought 80 more for .50 each.

Awesome Tyra! :D>- I know it’s frustrating to wait, but the prices are so good there, and the sellers mostly seem willing to deal. Plus, when I found you could get something ‘aftermarket’ like this NOT on ebay I was excited, cuz I’ve had a little trouble with ebay sellers lately.

Please let me know how you make out!

And anyone else buying actual tiff bags there, be SURE to check the dimensions because each listing is different and some of the bags are small (like for favors), others larger like for OOT bags and the size isn’t always front-and-center.

Dawn P. ,
Thanks for posting your comment about the actual Tiffany bags..I just put out a bid to buy enough to put each of my guests favors in and some for decor. I’m so excited. It stinks that you can’t just buy it now and you have to wait for the seller to post the shipping.

Hey Ladies!!!
Im getting married sept 6th 2008 and my wedding colors are tiffany blue and red, Do anyone know if any good linen Co. That has table clothes in the color tiffany blue?

thanks Tara.
Margaret, thanks for the information regarding the tall vases. I am using tall vases, but I want to learn how to do the arrangement, maybe i can go to the florist and see how she does it.

Annie,

I am using 24″ tall white eiffel tower vases with a round flower bouquet that slips in the top of the vase. This website was great and it was the cheapest place I could find for these vases. The company was so easy to work with and I belive the freight was $15.00 but i live in PA so it was more because this seller was in CA. They have all different sizes 18″, 20″, 28″, and it gives you a nice height off the table. We are putting some white sand in our vases to steady them a little on the tables.

Flowers & Supplies Glass Eiffel Vases

My florist is using one of those white bouquet holders with the streight holder piece to make the center piece. Then you just slip the flower in the top of the vase and it goes together perfectly. He made the centerpiece just like he would a bouquet. I may have pics on my camera from the trial centerpiece. I am using carnations, babies breath, and this feathery fern. I figured people will remember the vases and the colors but they wont really remember what flowers were used because they are so high up. You could easily use fake flowers for these type of center pieces and would be a great DIY project if you are really crafty.

Annie -
i’m not sure what kind of centerpieces you are using but for us. I am using some tall vases with floral arrangements and the short vases on other tables with floral arrangement. But for the most part we are using fake and really flowers mixed.. it definitely cuts down on the price and still looks good..
I hope this helps..
Tara

I need help. I want to do my centerpieces tall with flowers, but it is costing me too much money. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME HOW TO DO IT MYSELF. Anyone has any knowledge how to make a flower arrangement. Thank you

Annie

Hi Cherie
Try http://www.annsbridalbargains.com the invitations are really cheap, and if you pick an invite you like you can change any of the wording you want, any color you want. I got my invites for like 82 cents a piece, seeing i have a huge family

Hey all, I am getting married August 16, of this year.. I’m going with the tiffany blue color. Just wondering if anyone has any pictures they can email me..
I am really not sure how i wanna decorate with it all yet and i’m running out of time. So I found this website and hoping someone could help me. My email address is tara_heisz@uiuonline.org

Thanks so much in advance

I am PANICKING!!! My wedding is in exactly 2 months and I haven’t gottne invitations. My theme is Tiffany Blue and the other accent colors are silver and white. I wanted a pocket folder invitation but so many of them cost soooooo much. Please send all ideas. I won’t feel bad if they go out 6 weeks before because 90% of the people know when, where, and what time the wedding is. Please help.
Oh, I love Tiffany and Marshall’s wedding pics. Great ideas. I love your invitation…until you said that it took you 3 weeks to complete. HELP!!!!:((

Meg, you can buy actual Tiffany shopping bags off Ioffer, this won’t be as cheap as some places but they go for as little as a dollar apiece, not bad — try here

Hi MEG,

I’m not sure where you live but if you’re near Southern California I purchased my bags (you can see in my profile) for 10 cents each at the Fabric Barn in Long Beach, CA. Good luck!

We are looking for Tiffany blue gift bags to give guests staying at the hotel. There is one in the sample photo above on this site, but there isn’t any information on where to get them. Does anyone have a site with the tiffany blue gift bags. I’ve checked party zone and factory card outlet and target, and haven’t found the right color yet. Hallmark had one, but it was $1.99…hoping to spend less!! I’m enjoying everyones great ideas. Thanks for your help. MEG

Thanks Blake that’s a great start.

Kisha, lucky you, there’s tons of inspiration out there for red & aqua! Here’s a sampler to get you started!

Top to bottom, L to R: 1) A small but sweet inspiration board by Tastefully Entertaining: a really crisp Martha look (which leans heavily on Queen Marth herself). 2) Another small but intriguing board that builds elements around a GORGEOUS! Asian invitation. At Velvet Rabbit Studios. 3 & 4) Last two pics, from a chic & beachy "vintage Mexican" board by the always-readworthy Snippet & Ink.

Row two: 1) modern paisly invite by Wedding Paper Divas. 2) "My Red & Aqua Girlie Gathering" by Mrs. Gardenia .. great pics of her bridal luncheon. 3) Unmissable compilation of red/aqua ideas by Mrs. Lime, who had a red & aqua wedding. Even better, see Mrs. Lime’s real-world results starting here. 4) Gorgeous pic of a red/aqua ceremony from TheNest.

Row three: This whole row is from Thryn & Gabe’s aqua, red & chocolate brown wedding, on flickr. The details and photography that captured them are unbelievable.

In my opinion choc brown is a great grounding color for red & aqua, but my personal favorite and very 2008 would be steel gray!

Hope that helps, post any other cool ideas you find! :D>-

Jamie, that is so easy and the results will look GREAT. Once you find your boxes, just decorate to taste (with any ribbons, rhinestone buckles, etc.), and line with a waterproof plastic. Use double-sided tape to attach the lining securely to the box and snip off the lining just below the box rims, once you have it all arranged.

Then cut a square of floral foam just a little smaller than the box. You want “Oasis” foam which you can get at any craft store, and you need to presoak it; this lets you keep your roses fresh for much longer than going bare.

Place the foam in the box, strip your roses of thorns and leaves and cut the stems off to about 2 or 3″ (depending on the depth of your foam). After you do the first one the process will be a snap, and look fantastic. Try to get a tiny bit of variety in those roses, too; e.g. if you’re going with basically white roses, work in a little cream or some lightly blushed roses to add depth to the look.

Jamie,
I found boxes @ The Container Store and @ uline.com…they are less expensive at uline, but you have to buy them in bulk, about 50/set

We have decided on Tiffany blue and red for our vow renewal. Does anyone have any ideas or pics?

I am throwing my friend a Tiffany’s & Co inspired bridal shower and would like the centerpieces to be flowers in a tiffany’s colored boxed but i cant seem to find any bigger boxes! Does anyone know where i can find some. Also if i want to use real flowers how would i put them in the box????

hello ladies
im getting married august 2009. i decided to go with the tiffany blue color and found this forum to be so helpful. i having a hard time figuring out my table setup at the reception. my table cloth are white. my vender is tryin get tiffany blue napkins. but i think i want the centerpieces to be the stackable tiffany boxes on some tables, but not all. and i don’t know what to put on the other table. can some one help me

i would have her come down before the flower girls if your flower girls are going to be throwing petals so that way you will be the first on the petals as it goes and i think she will be fine try it at rehearsals and have a backup plan just in case like you said have your mom walk with her or have her walk close to the flower girls that way she will feel comfortable walking down the aisle just a thought!!!

Tasha,
I love the idea of having my daughter carry a bible, she will be 26 months at the time so i just hope she can do it alone,or maybe i can have my mom escort her. Should i have her come down the isle after the flower girls, right before i enter?:-?

april j - i dont know what the religion beliefs are but i have heard and seen where there has been a bible carrier also in the wedding just a small enough bible for the 2 year old to carry and my wedding colors are aqua and canary my flower girls are wearing white dress with aqua trim from davids bridal and my bridesmaids are wearing pool and canary with mixed yellow and baby blue bouquets made of silk flowers because of my budget

April,

I saw a young child participating in a wedding. Once of the family members/bridal party had the child in a waggon and as they walked sown the islae they pulled the wagon with the child in it. The wedding was outdoores so it actualy looked very cute!

I don’t know if this is what you are asking but if so, then that is a possibility.

Oops meant the vase was white china but maybe a silver one will be nice, although i thought of a clear square..ok im really confused! ARGHHHH lol[-(

I thought this table setting was nice too the vase is silver but the roses are all white i dont know if i should mix the roses like a white and pink rose?? dunno ..any opinion ladies???

I’m going with DB style pool colored dresses for my bridesmaids but instead of the crisp white or black or silver I’m p[airing them with big bright bouquets of gerbera daisies in assorted colors. It’s a late May wedding so I wanted lots of color. The linens and everything else will be white I guess. The dresses and flowers pack enough punch on their own. Also, my centerpieces are going to be simple glasses vases filled with daisies (and maybe some white roses) and simple little tealights scattered around them.

Tyra & LScott08,

Thank you for the helpful info fon table decor… I think im going to go with the Tiffany clue chair covers and white sach.. and square glass vase with white roses and pink roses and peach roses every table will have a different color.. and clear voltives..and diamond shape crystal spread all over..might do the tiffany blue light on the vase?? just dont wanna over do the color??? :-”:-?

Okay so i am having a big problem picking flowers for my wedding. It is Aug. 30. My colors are brown, tiffany Blue, ivory. I know i want ivory calla lillies but i also want more color. The girls dresses are brown with tiffany blue ribbon and i have an Off white dress.

Tasha2009,
My step-daughter is my maid of honor, the other step daughter, a jr. bridesmaid, my son and daughter are flower girl and ring bearer, my step son also a ring bearer, but i want my then 2 year old to have a part any suggestions? and what color are your flower girls wearing? My bridesmaids are wearing aqua blue with peach bouquets.

HOLLY -
My daughter’s wedding is June 20th and she also is using pool with black/silver/white. I am making table runners that are black with quarter-sized tiffany blue polkadots. I found the fabric at Hancock fabrics. I will have probably 22 of them available after her wedding if you’re interested in them…. We’re putting them on top of a white cloth using a round mirror under a set of 3 cylinders with white round floating candles with aqua colored stones in the bottom of each (polka dot theme, can you tell?)

LUCY,

For our table(s) the linen will include a tiffany blue table cloth, shimmering white chair cover(s) & tiffany blue organza bows tied around the back of the chair(s). The center pieces will be 16” roung mirrors will a small square glass vase filled with white tea & spray roses (our florist is lining the inside of the vase(s) with green leaves from the rose(s) stems so that you do not see the inside of the vase(s)). Then we are placing 5 small votive candles around the center pieces.

Jennifer,

My sister stumbled across them at the Dollar Tree store. I will have to post pictures as soon as I locate my USB cord.

Lakiesha,

Where did you find your candleholders at?

Does any one know what i should put inside these. These are my centerpieces that i am doing for my wedding. I have 3 floating candles: brown, ivory and turquoise. And i am not sure what i want on the inside or if i need something surronding them? Thanks for the help

Kirston,

Db is a big store chain, I would do to their website and find a store near you. They have a lot of “pool” color dresses in the store you can buy in all sizes, if you cant find it in that store they do look for it on the shelf in other stores for a transfer if you need. DB is great to work with. My BM’s bought their dresses there in Pool and they ordered 1 weekend and all the dresses were in the next weekend. I think you can now order of the website now so I would defently check it out.

http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridalparty.jsp

Hello Tyra unfortunately I am in Houston, TX. I found someone here who can make them. I sent them the picture and she said she will be able to decorate them for me. Thanks for your help.

Hi Lucy and everyone else, if you’re having trouble uploading a particular image, just send it to me (email blake@favorideas.com) and I’ll put it in your post. Some file formats don’t upload right, like BMP, so if your image isn’t working, that might be the problem. GIF, JPG and PNG should work great!

Hi Lucy,

I have 2 different centerpieces. The first style is a manzanita branch that I weighted in a sqare silver planter my florist is wiring cream and hot pink orchids to the branches then I’m adding hanging votive holders w/ Tiffany blue water? (I hope) w/ a floating candle. The second arrangement is a 24″ fluted trumpet vase with bear grass and cream orchid submerged in the vase filled w/ water. I ordered submersible aqua lights to make the vase glow Tiffany! Out of the top of the vase will be bear grass and cream calla lillies sprouting out of the top. I’ll try to attach my linen swatch for you to see. I don’t know how well the swatch will show up but it’s gunmetal grey/silver w/ stiched teal circles and silver circles. I’m doing the arrangements half and half on the guests tables..the other tables will be solid platinum w/ a sheer organza silver overlay.

Tyra,

Tyra,
This is the STD im thinking of doing…:-”

Hi Tyra,

Thanks for the std pic, i loved it! However my invitations are the ones shown from lscott 08 and i dont want to over due the present look as i want to keep it for my invitations. The cake pic u have i loved it, im doing the same! Just waiting on the pricing. we have the same style. what are u doing for ur bouquet?

I must find a DB Pool colored dress can anyone help me or might have on in a size 2 i can buy?

my colors i have changed once again im using aqua and canary yellow- we are using the same colors for linens which im renting from best rentals and i think the white would be beautiful for your dress- my centerpieces are candles in hurricane vases with yellow and blue glass gems with votive candles around each vase with flower petals spreaded on the tables and i having canary and aqua chair sashes alternating colors for each table and chair i can oicture and i hope it comes out like i picture it!!!

Tasha, I want to wear a floor length dress with some silver or crystal in the front of the dress because it is my 25th anniversary. What do you think white is okay? My two daughters are my bridemaids and they are wearing short tiffany blue dress. I am planing to have an outdoor ceremony. I want my reception with silver linens and silver chair sashes with three different sizes of vases with different kind of pink. In my cocktail hour I want tiffany blue linens with some pink accents . I am having a different centerpiece for the cocktail hour tables. I am going to order my cake in tiffany blue the square type with a beautiful silver (with stones) linen. I saw it at BBJlinens. What are you doing for decoration and color.

Annie i have seen so many dresses that i love - the bridemaids dresses and tuxedos are coming from davids bridal so i was looking at bridal gowns from there but i also saw one from alfred angelo that i like and i have not decided on short or long thinking of maybe just floor length because it is outside and i dont want to mess the bottom of the gown what are u going to do

Lucy, Here is a pic of my STD…I incorporated the Tiffany Box w/ our names and I added a pic of my E-ring into the picture. I made it in photoshop and sent it Vista print and made magnets. They were a big hit!

Hi everyone! My husband and i got married at a courthouse and decided on our fith anniversary we wwould renew our vows, which will be february 27th 2009. I chose the colors coral and teal, but i don’t know which i would like to be my base color or if i want to mix it up with the bridesmaids and maid of honor, or what i would like to do If any one has any suggestions, pictures, or ideas, please let me know!

These are some of the things that we have incoperated into out Tiffany Blue & White July 28th, 2008 wedding

Hi Abby I have also thought about trying to find an orange table runner to separte the colors. I think that would really make the blue pop.

I also love the cake picture that is attached. I was thinking instead of brown stripes to use blue.

I came across this arrangement this weekend as well. I think my thing is that I need to just stop looking. Sept. will be here quicker than I know it.

Hi LaKeisha -

You sound like you have some really great ideas. Your blue and white striped candle holders sound like they will make a nice accent on your table. Since you are trying to incorporate the peach color - why don’t you try to find a light peach colored candle to go in the candle holder. You said you are using aqua linen - so I think this will contrast very nicely. Just some thoughts…

Tasha,
thank you for the information….I doing the same thing from the beginning to the end. I am very excited. Are you wearing a long dress or short…also what color do you have in mind.

Rachel,

you can find the tiffany blue chair sashes and table linen at BBJlines.com
Good luck.

Hey everyone,
I’ve just recently started to plan my wedding and I have also decided on the Tiffany Blue & Chocolate for my colors. Any suggestions or centerpiece ideas would be a big help!!

Hi there,
Can anybody suggest where I can buy the aqua blue chair sashes and table linen?
Mnay thanks

Elizabeth & Monique- The lady doing my cake is Clara w/ Clara’s Designer Cakes in Maryland. A lot of other bakers wouldn’t even try it..one lady said she would do it for $15 a serving..no way I was paying that. I ended up ordering 80 servings..not everyone eats cake there are 72 individual boxes and then the 6×6 at the top for the bridal party. Everyone told me the idea w/ too labor intensive but I wouldn’t give up. I searched for pictures of mini Tiffany box cakes and then I randomly came upon that picture I don’t remember what site it came from only that it was from the uk.

Hi LaKeisha,
just to drive you even crazier (okay, hope not), I think your peach & aqua idea are unbeatable together, and of course I keep thinking of that Brides.com photo we’ve all seen a million times that combine them, with aqua linens and a semi-transparent peach overlay, with a final result to die for.

Now, I know that those are top-of-the-line linens that you can’t always order up at your local event rental place, but IF you could find them, or someone kind enough to sew together some simple overlays or table runners along those lines, I’m confident it would look STUNNING under your aqua candles.

I found wrapping paper at target… so instead of buying a huge roll… it can be found there

i will post pictures but my wedding annivesary is not until July 9, 09 and we are going to have the ceremony just like a wedding from beginning to the end. I like the idea of having your son walk with you… the wording for the ceremony is something i will have to talk with my pastor abt…

If your candle holders are aqua and white, I would use yellow candles. I would place a mirror between the linens and candle holder. to break the color up If you want to break up the blue, accent your table with some square votive holder (dollar store) and slice real lemons (round) and place around the inside edge (all 4 sides) and place a white votive inside. This will give some contrast. You can also through some yellow petals on the table with diamond accent stones.

LaKeisha,

I think both ideas sound great. If you want to go with your first idea, I would maybe add a peach or orange ribbon around the candleholders, to provide a a small spash of accent color contrast between the candle sticks and the aqua linen. I would probably not use a peach linen since aqua is your main color.

The floating flowers sound great as well. Good luck!

Someone please save me from myself.

I have so many ideas going thread and I can’t make up my mind. My wedding colors are aqua and white. I was thinking of using orange or peach as an accent. My dilemma is I already purchased candleholders that are aqua blue and white striped. how do you think they will look on the aqua linen ( I don;t think it will pop) so I thought about using peach for the linen color and then incorporate some organge rose petals. But does that take away from the main wedding color which was aqua.

my second idea was to use the blue linen and then purchase glass bowls and fill with an orange or peach floating flower and surrond the bowl with white votive candles.

I am going to drive the fiance crazy with my ideas. LOL.

Tasha
when is your wedding anniversary?… are you going to post pictures. I have three kids. Two girls that are going to be my bridemaids and my boy is walking me. Are you doing a ceremony like a regular wedding…please advise ….I am confused. Thank you

HELLO ALL. I AM HAVING A AUGUST EVENING WEDDING AND MY COLORS WILL BE WHAT DAVID’S BRIDAL CALLS POOL WHICH IS MORE SO AN AQUA AND BLACK WITH A TOUCH OF WHITE. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD GIVE ME SOME IDEAS FOR FLOWERS, CENTERPIECES AND FAVORS TO MATCH MY COLORS. THANKS EVERYONE.
HOLLY

annie, it depends on the age of your children- My husband and i have six children two boys and four girls- two of my girls are my flower girls, one is a bridesmaid, one is the jr bridesmaid and one son is the BEST MAN!!! and one is the jr groomsmen so that is a part of the 24 bridal party!!!

Hi Tyra I LOVE the cake idea!!! Where did you get the pic from & can u tell me the name of the person making yours? My wedding is in August & I wanted something different!!!

Tyra how many servings did you buy? I found someone locally who was charging me $8 per serving and I thought that was expensive. I had heard of someone else who was charging $5 but she was booked.

Hi, Aqua & Chocolate ladies, you might enjoy some choc/blue weddings posted in the comments here on the Chocolate Brown page and here on the Daisy theme page.

will tiffany blue/white match chocolate accents?

HELP!!!!
HEY GUYS WILL AQUA/TIFFANY BLUE GO GOOD WITH CHOCOLATE FOR A SEPT WEDDING…:(

HEY danielle I LOVE THE BRIDESMAID DRESSES THATS THE COLOR AND STYLE I WANT SO WHERE ARE THEY FROM?

TOO BAD THAT THEY ARE NOT TAFFETA MATERIAL..

Lucy,

I am making the menu cards for each guest shown in the martha Stewart wedding. These will be sitting in front of a white fan folded napkin. The only hard part I found was cutting the paper to the size I needed but the rest is so easy.

I was not impressed by the bright coral color but that is only my opinion. I felt it gave a cabana feel, and I am having a classic traditional wedding and i felt the color wouldnt fit. Although I am using hot pink flowers in my reception flowers, since they will be 24″ high in the air the florist wanted the flowers to really catch your eye when you walk in the room.

Elizabeth,

My cake was $10 a serving..I don’t know if Clara will make and ship or not but I can ask her.

Hey Tara about how much was your cake? Does you baker make cakes and can ship them?

Tasha,

I am having a 25th anniversary renewal. I am using tiffany blue as an accent color and silver with pink roses. My concern is the ceremony. I want to incorporate my children , but I dont know if it will look as a wedding….please advise in the ceremony tradition. thank you

Hi Lucy..I just started posting here when I found out I wasn’t alone w/ the Tiffany color..I love the idea of the little cakes. Here is a pic of what my cake is going to look like..except my ribbon is going all the way around the boxes. Except mine is 7 layers high..and the top layer is 6×6 for us to cut. I had to special order the cake stand. It took me forever to find a baker to do it! But, I didn’t give up. The whole wedding isn’t covered in Tiffany blue so the cake is the show stopper!

Lucy,

what like did you find the Martha Stewart Tiffany Blue and Peach.I was looking for an accent color. I think those colors look great together.

Lucy how much are those little cakes? I wanted to do these as well but they were much more to have these made than a regular cake.

I am still trying to decide on the save the dates, ladies- need some ideas lol.. what u think of this? im thinking of putting my ring instead and where the words are putting please save the date etc.. and where it says TIFFANY & CO. - puting my Finacee’s name and Mine.. this is an ad.. i just grabbed from a magazine.. need ur thoughts??Thanks :-?:-”

This is the lil cakes I am going with.. and theyre will be a bigger cakes just for us to cut! Really cute i thought and unique

can someone please help out with the chair covers???

I love this wedding! They keep it classy and dont overdue it with the Tiffany blue where it looks tacky! This idea is so cute as place cards they did lil chocolates with the names. Look at the color scheme they did with the flowers it brings out the Tiffany blue! Just some ideas girls! Love it!

Marlene/Margaret;
I am also planning a Tiffany blue, WHite, and silver wedding and was having a hard time deciding on the flowers, i came across the Martha Stewaet “breakfast at Tiffanys’ Wedding and i got the idea to use pale pink or coral or even white roses. These colors look great with Tiffany blue! I actually like the pastel coral and i am thinking of doing that as well. My theme is Tiffany blue and diamonds!! hope this helps!

Marlene,

My wedding is May 10th 2008 so I only have a month to go. I am using the same accent colors ( tiffany blue, white, silver) as you but I have also added champane roses ( very pale pink) to my bouquet and my bridesmaids will have 4 champane roses as their bouquet. At my reception I am having 24″ eiffel tower vases on all the tables with white and hot pink carnations, babies breath and green feather furn.

If pink isnt your color, you could add nice light yellow flower to add some color or those green orchids are very nice. Dont worry my florist said the same thing about just having all white flowers for everything. Good luck!

Inside I made them look like a real passport and put a small picture of the bridesmaid and then inside every page had a picture of us throughout the years. I put different friendship quotes and fun stuff to let them know I really appreciate our friendship. They all loved them. Since I know most of the bridesmaids for years I had lot’s of pictures. My fiancee did all the art work you see outside and I did like the mini scrapbooking passport inside. I thought it was a fun idea that was very inexpensive and everyone can do.

I actualy just went to a bridal show and they had a tiffany blue fountain. It is basically white chocolate with blue coloring. If you use white chocolate then you can pretty much color it any way you like ( at least that is what I was told). It is actualy very pretty and tasts very good.

I really like those tiffany blue strawberries—yum

Elizabeth C. -

What was on the iside of the different passports you made??

Jennifer I got them from a local lady who makes them and I am getting the fountain with her as well. She said she would send me pictures of the fountain from a Tiffany wedding she was doing this month. Not sure if she ships out but I can ask if you are interested Jennifer

Elizabeth
How did you do the strawberries and where are you getting your fountain?

Here are some of the Tiffany Blue Strawberries. They were delicious. I am also getting a Tiffany Blue Chocolate Fountain for my Bridal Shower.

Hey guys I am posting some pictures of some of the items I used for my engagement party.

hey guyz i dun if anyone is interested but ALL my bridemaid are selling there dress IMM. after the wedding!! we have 7 dresses and here are the sizes: 2, 8, 10, 10, 10, 10, 22 ! i duno if anyone is interested just thought i would let ya know!!!

KELLY- if u cousin is around a size 10 or so, u can call around and see if anyone carries the dress in the store and u can buy the sample and just get it taylored!

samantha my cousin is a bartender so i dont question anything - he will not give out any secrets!!! and thanks for the website it was a great idea!!!:P and to put your candy together if you scroll down in these comments there is a table that shows how they put together a candy table using different size vases!!!

Wow! That is so creative. I wish I had an ounce of everyone’s creativity. I found this site and it has a listing of “blue drinks”.

I figured I would post it–incase someone wants it–http://www.drinkalizer.com/drinks/colors/blue.php

I still don’t have a theme in mind. You all seem to know exactly what you are doing with everything.

I still don’t have a venue– but I am definitely leaning towards the beach.

Here is the picture of the Cake tier stand

I can download and post, I had my glass cut at an Ace Hardware. I had 16×16, 14×14, 12×12, 10×10, 8×8 and a 6×6. We will have a 6×6 cake made for the topper and then purchased 5 dozen petit fours to go along the other tiers. The total cost for our cake and the petit fours $185.00. I actually got a really good deal on my cordial glasses, I bought them from Gordman’s for $3.99 a set. Each set includes four glasses that are different shapes and sizes.

I absolutely love you idea - do you have any pictures? Also, where did you purchase and have your glass cut. Were your petit four cakes expensive, if you don’t mind me asking…?

Just an idea for those who are planning on serving petit four cakes at their wedding. I love the idea of using a squared tiered stand, they are $300.00!!! I decided to create my own by having glass cut the sizes I needed and using eifel towers for the base for a fountain and then stacking each tier up with small cordial cocktail glasses…Total cost was about $60.00…

LaKeisha,
I did plan to put them on each table. I am using 8ft tables istead of traditional round tables. They are putting 3 of these tables together to give it an elegant look. I wanted the boxes big enough to be the centerpieces since the tables are long.
I am going to The Container Store this weekend because they have them there for about 10.00 a set….thnx Elizabeth!!!

I looked up the Boone’s Farm wine and that is a great idea. What is your cousin using to color the Martinis?

My wedding colors are blue and most likely chocolate. I am finding some interesting candy online that is blue– I just need to figure out how to put it together.

I see and hear of so many people with these amazingly crative ideas–I have no idea how them come up with them—also too if you are on a budget don’t watch Platinum Weddings—just saw that for the first time last night–oh boy- lol

Hi Ladies,

For those who are doing the stacked boxes. Are you using them on each reception table. I have about 10 tables and this weekend I was out and purchased some aqua blue and white candle holders about 8 large and 10 small ones. I was thinking of putting two candles on each table along with white and aqua blue rose petals and the stacked boxes on every other table. Any thoughts. I want the decor to look nice but I am also trying to stay in reasonable budget, I don’t want the tables to look like they are missing anything.

Thanks in advance for the advice and feedback

samantha what are your wedding colors sorry i missed that part i know jordan almonds come in a variety of colors and hershey kisses has the different color foils and different mints and m&ms also different colors just an idea hope it was helpfully!!!:D

Hi Guys! I hope I answer all of your questions…let me know if I missed anyone…

Niece - the bouquets were actually purchased in downtown Los Angeles. I had looked online but they were quite expensive and through some serious negitiation at a downtown wedding shop I was able to get them for $45 each. But my original idea was to make them myself, unfortunately I just ran out of time. But I had found this website before so if you would like to make them here’s some directions: http://www.geocities.com/chris_breecher/beadbouquets.html

Adrienne - Thank you! The poem for the men’s bathroom basket was “Whether your eyes feel dry or you hair is out of place
You’re not feeling so fresh, or whatever the case
We’ve put together a basket to help you along,
Now hurry back out there before you miss the next song!” and for the men’s basket we included cologne, mouthwash, Tide to-go pen, breath mints, gum, hair gel, hairspray, comb, brushes, bandaids, advil/tylenol, tums, wet wipes and eye drops.

Danielle - Congrats on your linens! After seeing my wedding I had wished I had gotten Tiffany napkins to add a litte more color to the tables. It will be beautiful I’m sure! The unity candle ceremony was one of my favorite things during the ceremony. I actually got my candles at a sale the day after Christmas. They were in packs of 12 at CVS for 33 cents each. Then I glued ribbon around them, glued a flat sided swarovski crystal on them and then purchased the bobeches from: http://www.candle4less.com/Paper-Bobeche.pr.1084.htm

Kristen - Thank you! I purchased the flower girl dress here: http://www.onsalebridal.com/flower_girl_dresses/alfred_angelo/6342.html with the petals in robin’s egg. I really loved this dress too!

Ashley - My florist put it down for us and sprinkled rose petals on it. I know there are some brides who prefer no one to walk on the aisle runner before they do but I didn’t care that much. I was more concerned with it being securely attached ahead of time than me being the only one to step foot on it. Knowing me I would totally be the girl to trip and fall on her face if it wasn’t pinned down.

Samatha - We did our signature drinks using hypnotiq and they were delicious! Good luck!

annie have not heard from you how is everything going with the planning of your renewal???

samantha i dont know where you are located but i know Boone’s Farm has a blue hawiian drink that is a turquoise blue color that you can get at any grocery store - that is what im using for my drinks at my reception- it is a wine if that is what you want to use also i have a cousin who is going to make blue and pink martinis also and for kelly are you using any white or ivory that you can put your cousin in mainly ivory???!!!

Something similar happened at my friends wedding. She had all hers bridesmaids wearing this purplish color and her maid of honor wearing lavander. To include the extra person she had her pick any dress that was a similar style. The only dress that could be found at such a short notice was lavander–so even though she wasn’t the maid of honor—she wore the same color.

I am sure you covered all your bases online–the only other place I can think of that has dresses in almost every color under the sun is Davids Bridal.

I know that the Maid of Honor is special and will want to stand out from the rest–bit it may be easier to match than the brown at this time of year.

I hope it helps–good luck

guys I have abit of a dilemma maybe someone can give me some advice. My wedding is in 5 weeks I have a cousin who I really want to be part of my wedding but the thing is that the place where I am getting my dresses says that they cant get me another bridesmaid dress due to the short timing. And I checked with every other bridal online and either they said no or they were charging to much for the rush shipping. And another thing is that to get the same color as my bridesmaid. My wedding is turquoise and brown. My bridesmaid are wearing hazelnut (brown) my maid of honor is wearing turquoise. Guys please help me what can I make my cousin wear to make her blend in with the whole theme.

I am thinking of having a candy bar but am unsure of what candy to put in. It seems like its pretty inexpensive to do. Does anyone have any ideas??

I also wanted to have a “signature drink” what tastes good that is in blue????

What a beautiful creation by Glass Slipper Gourmet. Had to post it. Click for larger.

Plus, the entire color scheme was unbelievable. Here’s an overview … some great ideas for brides who want a lot of crystal in the look and have a budget.

Tiffany. I am doing an aisle runner like the one that you used. Did you put the runner out before the ceremony? My pastor suggested we run it out right before I walk out, but I’m not for sure that’s what I want to do!

Tiffany,
Can you please tell me where I can find the flower girl dress from your pictures. It is adorable! Your wedding was beautiful.

Hi Everyone! I am having a tiffany blue wedding on 6-28-08. My accent colors are white, silver…and I don’t know what else to use. My florist is telling me that choosing a color will work better for my bouquet and bridesmaids bouqets, rather than just using white flowers. Does anybody have any good ideas, or suggestions. Doesnt have to be flower related.

Im having a tiffany blue wedding on July 26th and for those of you looking for boxes for the tiffany centerpieces ~ I just found the Perfect boxes at JoAnns fabrics. Their brown but they come in a pack of 3 and theres 3 diferent sizes so it was exactly what i needed for only $10 and all I have to do is wrap it in aqua paper and add ribbon.

tiffany fabris to decorate the cakes?? anyone have them or selling them or now where to get the fabrics???

hey guyz i have been super busy planning the wedding JULY 12 is coming soon!!!! super happy with all the stuff, i’m getting my chair covers and im just renting them! with tiffany napkins! so excited. hey TIFFANY i am also doing the candels for everyone at the church where did u get them from?

marianne i have seen hot pink and navy blue together and it looked great it was on theknot.com website under searching for blue weddings when you said blue with white or yellow what shade of blue- my wedding is aqua and fuchsia which is a shade of blue and pink together - if you going to use hot pink use a dark shade of yellow to see it really pop!!!! just a thought!!!

The blue is wonderful with white or yellow. I am going with hot pink because I was debating on a blue or pink wedding. I asked my fiance and he actually prefers the pinks. I wanted to add another color to make it more interesting. Pale yellow tulips would be beautiful with hot pink dresses and a hot pink bouquet for the bride.

the red and light blue just doesn’t do it for me. I love hot pink and pale yellow for a spring-summer garden wedding.

annie, im wearing a white dress because the one i really one is only available in white and i talked to my pastor and she said that was fine - we have a 24 member bridal party and having a simple wedding in our backyard with the reception under a big tent with my husband aunt doing our nuptials what kind of ideas do you need ceremony or reception??

Just posted about a super-cool aqua/chocolate gerber wedding in Daisy theme weddings … anyone having that type of theme is invited to go check it out!

Tasha, I am also renewing my vows, can you tell me what are you doing , what is the tradition, are you wearing a white dress. I would like some ideas. Thank you

Bee I went to The Container store and they have the large nested boxes. You might want to check there website. They have great prices. I am buying a large box and using it for my cake centerpiece and wrapping it in Tiffany Blue paper. I made a mini one for note cards and it worked out. I will post pictures up soon.
