Shore Chic Open House
Saturday February 28 2009
Hello Brides to be!
Shore Chic began last year as a Beach Theme Wedding accessories Website. We attend Bridal shows throughout the New Jersey area as well, where we show a sampling of our products.
After many phone calls from all of you, asking "What are your store hours?" and not having a storefront, we have decided to hold an "Open House" for you to come and view our beautiful beach themed accessories, meet other brides-to-be and share your ideas. Some of you have just recently discovered us through our website but many of you have been to our bridal shows in the past and would now like to see What's New or place an order in a more casual setting. We will have most of our products on display, including Our New line of favors for 2009, New Sand Castle Centerpieces, Our Jewels of the Sea Jewelry Collection, Starfish / Sand Dollar escort card samples, Parasol and fans and more!
We will also have our Custom Seashell Flower girl baskets, Sand Box trays, and Ring Bearer Nautilus shells available for purchase that day.
Please come and join me so we can discuss your upcoming Wedding and show you ways to make it unique and Shore Chic!
I look forward to meeting you here.
Refreshments and "sweets" will be served.
Happy Planning & I will see you soon!
Maureen Marcil

Wedding Wish Trees
Here is a fabulous idea to replace the standard guest book. One of the latest wedding trends is a "Wedding Wish Tree". It can be as elaborate as you like yet very simple to do.
Start by doing a search for branches and you will find many types, sizes and finishes available, depending on the look you are going for and how tall you would like it to be. I like the sandblasted Manzanita branches, they almost look like driftwood and are perfect for a Beach Themed Wedding. Prices vary, but be aware the shipping can be a little costly depending on the size you choose. The majority of websites with these branches are in California. With that considered, it is still worth the extra money, as the effect is just lovely. The rest of your costs to make a tree should be minimal, as you only need a pot or container to "plant" it in and cards for your guests to write their wishes on.
To make the tree, try fitting the branch or branches into a foam block first and then placing it snuggly in your container. Now fill it with rocks, seaglass or seashells,etc... If your branches are tall, and you want it more secure, purchase plaster of paris and following the directions, fill your container, let it dry and then cover with moss, rocks, shells etc..
You can also swag crystal or beaded garlands across the branches or attach silk flowers sparsly or birds, butterflies, etc..depending on your theme.
Tags can easily be made by any DIY bride. Print on cardstock or buy ready made tags and stamp them with a pretty florish, monogram, or seashell image, etc...then holepunch each tag and attach ribbon in different lengths, and perhaps a charm or crystal bead to each tag. Leave them on the table with a few markers or pens for your guests to leave their wishes. When they are finished, they can tie them onto a branch. You can start with a few already hanging so they will get the idea. Perhaps frame a quote to set nearby saying something like "Please leave your wishes for the New Mr. & Mrs."
After your wedding, arrange your wish tags in a scrapbook, add photos of your guests next to their wishes and you will have a perfect remembrance of your beautiful day.
