We found just the right site to order the guys shirts, and matched the embroidery to match the girls' dresses.
It would have been perfect except one of the shirts for the guys arrived with a different color green although they were all ordered by me - and using the same color codes. It wasn't too glaringly different, but wasn't quite what we ordered.
Would still recommend them - but give them PLENTY of time - it took about 6-8 weeks to get the shirts, so you can check and return if required in time to receive the replacement.
I found the perfect invitations on Etsy.com. They fit our theme perfectly and Anna was a pleasure to work with. She helped me find the perfect green to go along with the starfish embossing.
They were unique and very reasonably priced.

Shelly does wonderful work, as you can see. We would certainly recommend her for your wedding. She knows the area well and just how to make the best of the lighting and surrounds.
The owner of Atomic Beauty, Heather, coordinated the day-of hair and make-up for all of my bridesmaids and mother. Her team came in on Sunday morning, which is usually their day-off, need I say more about the customer service at Atomic Beauty.
To top it all off, all of our hair and make-up looked perfect and was a key part in the beauty of the day. The hugest of thanks to Heather and her team. And a special thanks to Heather for helping me when I ended up slamming my finger in the car door when we arrived at the salon. Her quick and smart thinking helped me greatly to stop the bleeding and pain. A true lifesaver!
The day before the wedding I treated the bridesmaids and the mothers of the groom and bride to a “day at the spa” for a 90-minute massage, 90-minute facial, manicure and pedicure.
The Spa Manager, Ana, was truly wonderful and accommodating. The whole staff was professional and made us all feel as though we were their only customers and our day of relaxation was their primary task. The spa itself is gorgeous and the view of the Gulf was bar none. You have full access to the Emerald Grande hotel to include the pools and hot tubs and the food from the resident restaurant was excellent. We would all recommend The Spa and Ana is the quintessential professional. Thanks Ana!
I was presented with three other florists by my wedding "coordinator" (handled by Grayton Beach Catering LLC - NOT RECOMMENDED) which would not respond at all, before having to find a florist on my own.
I was fortunate to find Jenny at Destin Floral Designs. Not only was she prompt to respond, but she was open and receptive to everything I was looking for. There were issues with delivery due to my "coordinator" but Jenny's husband and co-owner handled everything and allowed me to avoid dealing with yet another issue from that vendor.
The flowers were absolutely exquisite and were exactly - if not better - than expected. Thanks to you both! We would recommend Destin Floral Designs without hesitation.
As with our Florist, our wedding coordinator provided options (Grayton Beach Catering LLC - NOT recommended) for bakers that were not meeting our needs.
Therefore, I was required to find one on my own and was VERY fortunate to find KaraBoo Bakery (received 2013 Emerald Coast Best Baker Award).
Not only was the cake exactly what we asked for, it was gorgeous and to top it all off it tasted even better.
Kara can give you any options that you are looking for and perhaps even some that you hadn't even considered - like espresso cake and cheesecake which we chose but hadn't even thought of.
We highly recommend KaraBoo Bakery - you won't be disappointed.
Something Fishy was a pleasure to work with from the moment that I started to consider them as our reception entertainment. Chris Nida was professional and prompt in his responses. The band was perfect for our wedding. They took requests and interacted with the guests perfectly.
They play regularly at Poppy's Crazy Lobster Bar & Grill Destin, FL so go check them out, and say 'hi' from Kendra & Eric. :) We recommend them highly.
