Ready, Set, Go....

Well, it's that time of year again ... when the days start flying by so fast and "i dos" get exchanged faster than one can blink, love in the air, and and and ... until July! So, without further ado, huge big Congratulations in order for:

Well, actually, I don't know the name of the bride but Monica's friend's wedding hasn't actually happened yet, but she did order some example maracas so she could take a look and see which she would rather select for her wedding this upcoming November.  I thought Yazmine did a fab job, so wanted to go ahead and present them ... wa-la! :)

Hello my dear brides! Our season has just begun and, while off to a slow start, we are gathering speed! Huge congratulations are in order for....

(based on paisley and palm trees)

Angela & Julio who said their "i dos" at the Now Jade in Cancun. I love the color combination Angela chose as I think it really pops the design off the maraca!

A few belated shout-outs to some awesome brides! First we have a big congratulations to give to Colleen who tied the knot this past 4th of July at the popular Dreams Riviera Cancun! She chose a beautiful green color for her base and Yazmine did a great job :).

(based on white flowers)

Shout-out to Sara who said her "i dos" this July 21st in Dreams Tulum. We don't get many orders for this maraca but I love the way it turned out and I like the feel of them.

(based on faces)

Congratulations to Marlene who tied the knot this past September 3rd in Playa Carmen. I think her maracas just say "beach beach beach" and "fun" all at the same time ;).

(based on palm trees)

Felicidades to Jenna who tied the knot this September 3rd at the Excellence Playa Mujeres. I heart heart these maracas, which were custom designed based off a graphic she liked (pictured below) and painted by Antonio. If these don't end-up getting ordered again I would be highly surprised :).

(custom design)

I meant to do all sorts of fun design blogs this summer but I was way busier than I thought I would be. I'm still going to try to do something so don't give up on me yet ;).
