Tropical Wedding Ideas I’d be delighted to share my ideas for a tropical themed wedding. It would be nice to know many others are benefiting from my ideas. I know it would have made it easier for me had I found this type of  web site last year!! We got married in Jamaica, and then […]

Candy Apples by TorieJane I got a local tourist attraction to make candy apples for wedding favors. They cost just $2.50 each and we bought silver organza ribbon to tie on them.
