    I made these for the groom's men, we're only having 4 so I'm stillworking on them, but i got too anxious and wanted to share it withya'll!  We're getting married in Aruba and our colors are lavender andbeige.  The shells my FI and I collected from our vacay in OuterBanks.  Tell me what you think, does it look to plain, too busy, make changes, I'm good with critiism promise.

    That looks incredible. I love making boutonnieres of things other than flowers! I've never seen shells before. I think it looks great the way it is.

    It looks beautiful!  It goes well with your colors.  I'd say that you could add more color to it (maybe a 'branch' of orange fan coral or something like that) but then it wouldn't go with your colors.  I think that if your colors are are light, you should just leave it as it is.  It's a great idea and great first DIY project.

    Wow those are awesome jingle! Our wedding is in PA but we love Ocean City and were engaged there...so our cake topper is going to be this cute beach topper where the groom is picking up the bride and it says just married or something in the sand under their feet! We have a model of the ocean city lifeguard boat that were going to put on the cake table!

     

    Again these are great jingle...your guests are going to love them and so are the groomsmen!

    I think its really cute!! My only suggestion would be to be cautious of the size on the tux/suit jacket.

    Those are perfect in my opinion. I've always felt beachy stuff should be simple. And your's are on the dot, not to busy not to plain.

    Those look great... I wouldn't add a thing! I think it's really cool how they are shells that you collected yourself =]
