A Beach Wedding


A wedding on the beach is a dreamy affair.
Whether you are the bride, a member of the bridal party
or one of the lucky guests, a breezy outfit and
a pair of comfy footwear is sure to be on your list.

Flipflops, anyone?

Dress them up for the occasion with sparkly ribbons.

Or a pair of brooches.

Lace to match your dress,
spun around the strap.

Or lovely little pearls!

Here's a tip for all you ladies planning a bridal shower: make decorating your own flipflops a group activity! Have a bunch of brand new flipflops (determine the guests' sizes before buying inexpensive ones at Old Navy or on-line). Have a table filled with lace, ribbons, beads & baubles, scissors, needle & thread, a glue gun & fishing string ready for an afternoon of jazzing up your slippers! Present a special pair to the bride-to-be with everyone's wishes & signatures. Oh what fun you'll have!

Have a groovy weekend everyone!

    Hello Raina! You know, I have a lot of flipflops because they are so affordable and I like to pretend it's summer all year {even in the cold, cold winter, I wear them inside!}! Take care!
