Turtle Power!

Turtles are my favorite animal. I really don't know how my love of them came about, but I think they're cute and started collecting all kinds of turtle figurines years ago. Oh, and who can forget their childhood love of TNMT? I love turtles so much that they've even made an appearance on my save the date map :) So it would be natural to want to integrate them into other parts of our wedding details.

Some of my turtle figurine collection

Right now I'm looking at Laura Hooper's invitation designs. Hopefully she can incorporate the turtles she drew on our maps to our reply postcards, programs, or envelopes.

Place card turtles would be too cute as well and go with our beach side location. Or shiny place card holders that guests can take home.

I'm also very open to yummy turtle inspired food (I wouldn't eat a real turtle). Turtle shaped chocolates, cupcakes, and cake would be super sweet to look at and equally sweet to eat.

Turtle cake toppers make such a cute keepsake.

And you can't rule out a turtle flavored cake topped with pecans and caramel. Mmm.

What is your favorite animal? Will you incorporate it into small details of your wedding (leopard print shoes, puppy as ring bearer, bird cake toppers)?
