Welcome Aqua Brides!
This bio was created for knotties who are not quite baby blue or ice blue brides...
and knotties who are not quite teal or turquoise brides...
Some call it Tiffany blue, pool blue, sea glass, sea mist...
I call it AQUA!!!!
I started this bio on 1/15/06 and will gradually add more pics and ideas.
I will keep the format fairly simple as I like to maintain my personal bio and website.
I hope that as an aqua bride, you can appreciate this special place for our special color!!!
If you are an AQUA BRIDE and would like your bio added or have some pics and ideas to add that you do not see...
Feel free to page me on the Long Island, NY local board or email me at
BnBdreamin@optonline.net
I am so sorry that in my early research days, I did not keep knottie names for pics I was just going to keep in my private files.
Please email me at BnBdreamin@optonline.net
if you know or are any knottie who belongs to these pics!
I would love to give you credit and create a direct link to your full bio for everyone to enjoy! Thank you!!!

I will have our guests sign yearbook style on a few pages then add our throwaway camera pics to it!
Aqua Guest Favors
Our favors will be a DIY project. We will make distressed wood signs with "Live well, Laugh often, Love much".
We had this plan for a while and my mom just bought this one and it was exactly what we want to make!!
They will be 4"x12" painted a pale aqua with brown writing and distressed edges.
We'd like to get a wood branding iron with our names to use on the back and for future wood projects as well.
