ok im a newbie and need help

Hi everyone. I am just starting to plan my 2006 wedding and I have a few questions. We are going to book the crescent beach club b/c i fell in love with it. Now I know what kind of bouquet i want: roses with three different colors, dusty pink, burgandy and champagne. Now the question is do my bridesmaids have to match me? Since I am doing it on the beach i would love to throw the whole beach theme into the planning now so i was just wondering. Can they have different flowers with colors other then mine or is that a no no.
Sorry if this question seems stupid but i am new to all of this and unsure of what is 'proper' Also I am having trouble finding things for cheap. I would love to have bif fish bowls as my centerpieces but they seem to be more money then i bargained for. Does anyone know where i can get them in bulk?
Thanks! Christina

Christina you can have whatever you want. You do not need to match anyone, you are the bride.

Congratulations by the way, Enjoy the planning

thank you so much for replying. Ok That helps my planning so much. I just keep thinking i want my wedding to be different. I want people to leave smiling. I can't tell you how many weddings i have been to in my family and when you leave you forget and the bride spent all that time planning and people cant even recall one thing. I would love not to have that happen. I think the beach theme can be so much fun and differnt, at least in my family.

Congratulations and welcome!

I got my fish bowls at Walmart. I think they were around $3 each.

welcome Christina & congrats

I see you will be joining our 2006 brides! Your flowers do not have to match everyone elses...This is your wedding & there is no right or wrong way to do things! You are entitled to do whatever makes you smile & happy!

Now buying things in bulk, check our Michael's...They are usually pretty good with that....

Happy Planning!

Nothing has to be proper, just whatever you like.

I also thought about having a cinderella theme, a color theme and also thought about having fish with a beautiful flower coming out. I changed my mind and just went simple, white and elegant.

I WAS GONNA SAY WALMART ALSO OR EVEN IKEA
GOOD LUCK PLANNING

Hi Christina....welcome to the boards! No question is a stupid one. We're all here to help you! I'm sure everyone told you the same thing when it comes to matching. If you want your Bo-K to be a special way then do it. Don't worry about matching your BM.

Good Luck planning....it goes fast I promise
