Wonderful wedding bells

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

You could hear the wedding bells ring as we headed for our limo, with our guests yelling their good wishes and tossing rose petals our way. That was the type of wedding ceremony we had. There was such a wonderful collection of accessories to help plan our wedding and make our ceremony so perfect. With all the exceptional accessories and supplies at my disposal there was no way this wedding and reception wouldn’t be a success.

Starting with the invitations and ending with the perfect little thank you gifts, they had it all. On the front of our invitations was silver printing which added to the elegance of the card. I also ordered from this fantastic choice of accesssories, the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket, which came as a set. It came in a beautiful garnet, and there was also a guestbook and pen set, and a very lovely wedding garter. All five pieces of wedding accessories at a very reasonable price.

I also picked out an aisle runner along with other accessories for our wedding. I’m really glad we went with the wedding bell. As soon as the wedding ceremony ended and we were leaving the church all the guests rang their little bells in celebration of our union. I really liked the idea of the bell ringing.

I bought accessories online for our reception as well as our ceremony. There was a marvelous selection of reception accessories to pick from. I wanted to make our reception tables sparkle, so I ordered as much crystal as I could get away with, starting with crystal champagne flutes. I ordered special flutes for us that said bride and groom on them, and beautiful twisted stemmed flutes for all of our guests. Wedding bell favors really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a nice gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.

There were so many lovely accessories, that I really wanted to buy them all, but that would have been going a little overboard on the décor. I did order some very nice wedding favors for our guests that were lovely glass table coasters. They were specially designed with a calla lilie on each one. I found the perfect little silver favor boxes with thank you tags to package the wedding favors in. The shiny gift boxes added that extra sparkle to our guests tables. On each reception table was a centerpiece I made up of lovely flowers and some very elegant candles.

On a smaller table at the of our long table, was our fantastically designed wedding cake. Chocolate and cherries three tiers high with a very lovely cake topper resting on top. I decided on a beautiful heart with calla lilies and ribbon as our cake topper. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. We have quite a few pictures of the the cake cutting and sharing of the first piece. There is the most adorable picture of our little flower girl dancing with the very elegant ring boy, our bride and grooms first dance together, and all of our guests having a great time on the dance floor.

Our friends and family told me they had a fantastic time at our reception and that they think I did a spectacular job in planning the wedding décor. I told my husband that I would really like to do this again someday for one of our anniversaries, and he agreed that it’s a good idea.

Wonderful communion favor

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I planned on giving our guests lovely communion favors to mark this special party. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. So I decided to check online and see what items they may have for our communion party. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. There were also candy tins that were perfect to set out on the tables for our adult guests and little teddy bear containers with candies for the children’s communion party favors. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.

It was almost like we were looking for her wedding dress, instead of a dress for her communion. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. I guess in a way when you are planning a communion party it’s a little bit like planning a wedding reception. We had a cake decorated for the occasion, hired a band and made a buffet of different foods for the guests. We wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. With all the pictures we took at her communion party, I’m so glad we decided to make the pink photo album an extra little communion gift for her. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.

All during the party I was picturing her wedding day and I could see my little girl walking down the aisle to join her husband to be. I know that day is not so far away and we will be sitting down checking out the online selection for wedding favors and accessories. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and communion favor, right here on my computer. There is quite a selection of wedding supplies and decorations for both ceremony and reception. I sort of gave the site the once over and checked out some of the items they have, and there is quite a selection for all kinds of events. In fact, I saved this particular site to my desktop, because there are also quite a few suggestions for birthdays and graduations. You can plan a great bridal or baby shower, or have a fantastic girls night out party with all the super accessories and suggestions they have to offer. There are all kinds of themed wedding accessories too, beautiful beach wedding accessories, gorgeous winter wonderland supplies and the perfect items for a big country western wedding and reception. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. It’s a good thing I know the perfect online shopping store, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of opportunities to use it.

Wonderful bridesmaid gifts

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. I bought most of my wedding supplies and reception decorations there. But when I was looking for the bridesmaid gifts, I couldn’t make up my mind which of the lovely items would be the best. There were so many lovely ideas for thank you gifts for the bridesmaids. Buying the groomsmen gifts didn’t seem to be half as hard for my fiance. He got them all a special little shot glass as their thank you gifts. But I must have gone over this selection of gifts a hundred times and still couldn’t make a choice.

At first I chose the jewelry boxes, then as soon as I spotted the bracelets, I’d change my mind and decide on ordering that. I’m glad it wasn’t this difficult choosing my accessories for my wedding and reception. I already had what I wanted, in mind, for those accessories. I got all the bridal accessories I needed for our lovely fall themed wedding. They had everything to go with the fall colors and décor I wanted. They had flower baskets and ring pillows in beautiful fall designs. I ordered everything from the flower basket to an aisle runner.

There reception ideas for fall accessories were really sensational. You can even order beautiful favor boxes for the unique wedding favors they offer, and the place cards and holders they have are pretty exceptional too. Our friends and family are going to love the favors we bought for them. But I also ordered one for me as a little momento of our special wedding day. They were such lovely little glass coasters. It didn’t take much time for me to choose the wedding cake topper I liked the best. I really loved the gorgeous storybook toppers, but I chose a lovely glass heart with our names on it. There was a gorgeous little storybook cake topper I would have chosen if we were having a fairytale theme. I simply fell in love with the castle topper. It was truly elegant and would have made the perfect choice for a fairytale theme.

I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time picking out a nice bridesmaid gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. They even had discount prices for a lot of accessories and gifts. There were bridesmaids gifts that looked expensive, but was very reasonably priced. After about a week of going back and forth with all the gifts available, I narrowed it down to two. It was a toss up between the gorgeous jewelry boxes or the bracelets. I had to make my decision, and I tried to hurry with it as fast as I could, but it took a few more days to do so. But low and behold, I did make that decision. My final decision was to give my bridesmaids the jewelry box and the lovely bracelet. They were each getting a beautiful silver bracelet and a just as beautiful jewelry box to keep it in. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s not as if they cost us a fortune or anything and my girls deserve the very best.

Our wedding day was all I had hoped it would be. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Many of our guests told use how lovely everything was and how nice their wedding favors were. The guys loved the shot glasses and my bridesmaid gifts were a success too. This was the best day of my life.

Found some great wedding cake knife set!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. All I had to do now, was decide which theme I wanted to go with. The country western theme seemed like it would be lots of fun. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake server to match every theme. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Once I estabished that I was going with the storybook idea, I started looking for accessories and supplies. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. Then I started choosing all of our decorations and other wedding accessories. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. I chose some lovely tulle swags to be draped from pew to pew with beautiful satin bows at the end of each row. There were flowers in tall vases placed around the altar and taper candles in fairy tale themed candle holders on each side of our beautiful unity candle.

I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. After the ceremony we didn’t leave in a limo, we left the church in a horse drawn carriage the same way Cinderella and Prince Charming did in the fairytale.

All the tables at the reception were sparkling with crystal and silver and the entire reception hall was lavishly decorated with flowers. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. The place card holders on the guests tables were adorable little castles. I filled adorable carriage designed favor boxes with little candies for each place setting at the reception.

Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. I found the most exquisite storybook wedding cake topper for our reception at the same place I bought all our other reception supplies. Even the fairytale wedding knife they had was special with it’s lovely styled handle. I wanted the complete wedding knife server instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. Our wedding cake and topper were complimented by the lovely knife set next to it.

After we were toasted with our lovely crystal champagne flutes, it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together as man and wife. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. After our song was over, couples filled the dance floor, for the next song. There were so many photographs taken at the wedding and reception, I’m so glad I bought my fairytale wedding album for all these memories. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.

With the ceremony and reception party turning out as great as it did, I know you can have your favorite fairytale come true.

Found some great Brides Accessories

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

As soon as we set our wedding date, I got busy with my planning and shopping for everything I needed. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. With all the great accessories and reception supplies I found online, it was easy to find what I needed for our wedding. From invitations to fantastic wedding favors gifts for our guests, they had it all.

We had no problem choosing the theme we wanted for our wedding and reception, it had to be a beach theme. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.

I ordered beach invitations right away so they would be on their way to our friends and family, first thing. There were no no’s in the RSVP’S, and they all seemed to be really looking forward to our wedding day. My bridal accessories were the next thing on my wedding list that I would need. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection of bridal hair they had to offer. The first thing ordered was the exquisite hair comb and tiara to wear on my wedding day. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. I ordered a beautiful necklace and earring set that looked absolutely fantastic with my gown. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.

The quality of the bride accessory I saw was fabulous – and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. I ordered some things for our honeymoon too. I know that a short thin materialed dress would have been more appropriate for a beach ceremony, but I had my heart set on my full length gown. There were satin summer dresses for my bridesmaids and my flower girl, that had a knee length hemline. They all looked so lovely in their wedding attire.

There were tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. I didn’t want to give our guests some useless wedding favor that would be stuck in a drawer and forgotten, so we gave them beach themed picture frames as thank you gifts. I think they all liked the frames as much as I did.

On the bride and groom table were our toasting flutes, lovely candles in their beach theme holders and lots of lovely tealights. Everything at our wedding reception came with a beach theme décor, including our fantastic wedding cake topper. Our topper was a bride and groom taking a walk along the beach. With all the items and bridal accessories they had available, it was easy to make this wedding and reception a total success. We danced, ate tons of seafood, like shrimp, crab, lobster and of course we had other foods for those that didn’t like seafood. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

As soon as we returned from our honeymoon I got out my beautiful beach themed wedding guest book and started writing thank you cards to our friends and family. That was a day I’ll always remember and I’ll have lots of photos in my beach wedding album to look at and relive again and again.

Been researching sweet sixteen ideas…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My daughter is turning sixteen and I was looking for some unique ideas for her party. My friend found quite a few party accessories and supplies online for her daughters celebration. So I decided to give it a try. It was surprising to find so many ideas for party supplies for the tables and little gifts. I found a lot of nice stuff I can use for her party. I was able to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 as one of the snacks for her party with the cookie cutters I ordered.

Before making any plans, I got her opinion on what she wanted for her party, and it was a party at the roller rink with all the girls sleeping over. I immediately got on the phone and reserved tables at the local roller rink. Next, came the invitations for all of her closest girl friends. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. They had a great package deal for birthday parties, with pizza, hot dogs and refreshments. At home I had everything set up for the party to continue. I put out the cookies I had made, along with a few other snacks, and set up birthday decorations.

I ordered more than the cookie cutters when I went shopping online. Since I was getting by so cheap with this party, I ordered extra gifts from the selection of sweet sixteen favors for her and her friends. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. They all knew about the cameras, so they could take pictures at the roller rink, but they had no clue about the albums I bought for them. I’m glad they only took a few pictures at the skating rink, so they would be able to take pictures of the sleepover too.

I also bought each of them little cosmetic bags with their initials on the front. Along with that I also bought compact mirrors and manicure sets that matched their bags. I also sat out these adorable little favor boxes I bought online that were filled with candies for each guest. At home, her sweet sixteen party favor and presents awaited, and we took care of that as soon as we got there. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, girlie teen movies for them to watch, so they were good to go for the evening. They danced for a while, then they gave each other manicures with their new sets, and of course, they did the make up thing. They were having a lot of fun together.

When the noise starting dwindling down they got out the bowls of popcorn and started watching their movies. Even though I tried to stay out of the way, when they asked me to watch a movie with them, I jumped at the chance. I thought that was so sweet of them to ask. After the second movie, one by one, they started falling asleep. All that was left was my daughter and I, at least for a few minutes. Just before she closed her eyes, she let me know how much she appreciated her super birthday party.

The next morning the girls were up before I was and had already had their breakfast and cleaned up from last nights festivities. I thought that was very thoughtful of them to do that for me. They hung around with my daughter for a couple of hours, then the kids started heading for home. As they were leaving, the girls thanked me for the wonderful time they had and all of the cheap sweet sixteen favors I bought for them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

A summer wedding favor!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to plan my outside wedding and reception. In fact, it didn’t cost as much as an indoor wedding would have cost us. Since we had the beauty of nature all around us, it wasn’t too expensive to decorate. The first thing on my agenda was to find that perfect place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I found there were several great locations that would work out perfectly for an outdoor wedding.

Since I never planned a wedding like this before, I needed all the help I could get. If you’re going to have your ceremony outside, it’s a good idea to have an alternative plan just in case the weather turns on you. A tent was suggested just in case the weather turns out badly.

Plan “A” was setting up a gorgeous trellis for our ceremony to be performed under and canopies for the reception. I only had to get decorations for my bridal table and the reception tables for our friends and family. With the park as our main theme, I basically had to make sure I had our table settings and maybe throw in a few extra bouquets of flowers. I thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. The only way you could tell that the flowers were artificial, was by touch, they were beautiful. The wedding was easier than I originally thought it would be, but there were a lot of things to consider. There are some spectacular summer weddings, but the sun can turn your beautiful wedding cake into a gooey pool of confection.

There was a variety of accessories available for the outdoor reception. I had little park bench place card holders at each table setting, and little citronella votive candles in glass globes with a nice flower arrangement as our centerpieces. For each of our guests there were beautiful chrome bottle openers in lovely designed favor boxes, as a summer wedding invitation. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

I found it while browsing online for my other wedding accessories, and fell in love with it. They do customizing for the bride and groom. All I had to do was send in a head shot picture of me and my fiance and they custom made a bride and groom cake topper with our faces. Talk about the best wedding keepsake you can get. All of our guests were so impressed with our topper, they couldn’t stop talking about it. All the wonderful accessories I ordered for our reception and wedding ceremony came from the same place, including our champagne flutes and silver cake set. It was amazing all the super accessories you can buy online.

Well, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was just as perfect. Thank goodness the weather stayed perfect throughout the entire ceremony and reception and we never had to put plan B into action. The DJ we hired was really exceptional and I’m sure that the music played on long after my new husband and I left for our honeymoon. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception we had. I’m so glad I decided to go with a wedding in the park. If we celebrate one of our anniversaries with a wedding renewal, I want to have it in a gorgeous park again.

Need of a Baby Shower Favor Idea…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I went right to my computer and started ordering from the same place I bought all the bridal shower decorations and favors from. I ordered everything from the same place I bought bridal favors, through my computer. Plenty of ideas and a great variety of party items can be found there. So I went online and started picking out all of the baby shower favors supplies and decorations I could find. There was quite a few great suggestions to work with. All accessories and decorative stuff I ordered was delivered very fast, after that I started decorating for the party. All tables was set up with baby in mind. My every baby guest had his own cute baby box filled wuth candies and one adorable teddy bear card holder with his name on the card. My guests complimented me on how lovley my tables looked with all the decorations and accessories. In honor of the mother to be, I ordered a chocolate cake and of course set up a buffet with different kind of snacks and candies. I had the cake covered with pink icing and little cake decorations, in honor of my niece to be. The cake topper was fantastic too,with different colored baby blocks. It was a great looking cake, and the decorations turned out perfectly for it.

Everyone liked the little baby bootie candles I had for baby shower favor ideas, and they thought the little favor boxes they came in were adorable too. I not only found all the decorations and accessories I needed, but I found some adorable baby gifts too. I found such adorable little gifts, like the picture album, baby blankets, and layette sets, that I bought for the baby. This online buying is the best thing I had ever done before: its easy,convenient and much cheaper. There was everything I needed in baby shower supplies for the perfect party, and I only had to place my order. There was also a game of baby bingo that I ordered for the party. There is just so many great selections for a baby shower.

My baby shower party turned out to be a great success and all my guests seemed impressed with their baby shower favor. We played games, the mother to be opened presents and we all really enjoyed ourselves. I think one of my favorite baby shower games is where you take baby bottles and fill them with liquid and pass them out to each guest. Then when someone saids go, each person must drink from their baby bottle until it’s empty and the first one done wins the game. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Everyone then had to try to find a match of a baby photo to the adult person. The prize went to whoever had the most matches. I ordered all the prizes when I ordered my party supplies and accessories. I found the cutest picture frames, candles and soaps that I decided would make the perfect little prizes for our games.

They have some very nice ideas for inexpensive little gifts for everything from weddings to baby showers. Online you can find so many wonderful accessories for almost any party, including graduations and birthdays.

How did I know about this site and all the wonderful selection of items they have for baby showers and other party supplies? The reason is because this is the fantastic place I shopped for all of my wedding accessories and wedding reception supplies.

There are accessories and supplies for all types of wedding and receptions. They have accessories and supplies for many themed weddings too, even for destination weddings. Shopping online was one of the smartest thing I could have done. I’ll use this site for all of my future parties.

Found some great wedding pen

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding pen set for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! There were tons of wedding themes you could choose from, as well as styles and colors of decorations and accessories. There were a lot of choices I was rather captured by, as far as themes for weddings and receptions. Our wedding date is set for January, so I was thinking about having a winter wonderland ceremony and reception. Too bad we were’nt getting married in December, I think a Christmas wedding would really have been spectacular, with a big Christmas tree and lots of decorations. But a winter wedding is gorgeous too, at least all the accessories I’ve seen were. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Now I had to get started with all my wedding plans.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. Then I went for all the winter accessories for our wedding ceremony, from flower girl basket to ring boy pillow. I thought I had everything I needed for the perfect winter wonderland wedding, but I was wrong. The wedding guestbook and wedding pen completely slip my mind. So, back through the wedding accessories I went and checked out all the winter wedding guest books and wedding pen sets they had, and found the perfect one for us. The guest book was designed with snowflakes and a little blue thrown in with sparkling little crystals. Along with our lovely winter themed guestbook was the winter themed wedding pens to match. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. I couldn’t believe all the gorgeous wedding albums you could get, there were even anniversary albums to choose from. I could use this selection in a few years too.

Next, I started going through all the reception supplies and decoration ideas they had. There was everything for the perfect winter wonderland wedding and I started with the crystal champagne flutes with the decorative winter themed stems, designed just like our wedding guest book and pen. They were so fantastic looking. Our reception tables were absolutely exquisite with all the crystal, candles and centerpieces I picked out. Another great thing about the place I got all my wedding accessories and reception supplies is that they had quite a few items at discount prices, which really helps a couple just starting out. I was surprised at what little we paid for such exquisite accessories.

They also had the most adorable wedding cake toppers to choose from. We had a beautiful cake topper with a bride and groom enjoying the winter season. Our wedding cake was a five tiered with white sugar snowflakes and winter designs of icy blue and reds. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. Our guests were really impressed with the silver sled cake stand idea that my fiance thought of.

On our the reception tables for our friends and family I had chosen these adorable little snowmen place card holders. I also chose wedding favors that were little snowflake gel candles for our guests. One of the prettiest decorations to the reception table was the gorgeous snowflake boxes the wedding favors were boxed in for our friends and family. They really made the tables look so festive. The wedding reception was a lot of fun and our friends and family seemed to like the personalized wedding pens we gave to them. The wedding ceremony and the winter reception was everything I wanted it to be, and I’m so glad I decided to give the online shopping a try. It really helped out a lot with the planning and decorating.

Found some gread wedding album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

After it was decided that we were going to have a beach wedding, I went shopping for accessories and supplies with a beach theme in mind. I started with our beach themed wedding invitations. Since I had a couple of invitations I had to do over again, I was really glad I bought extra. With the invitations all done and on their way to our prospective guests, I could move on to picking out the beach wedding dress I wanted for our ceremony. With all the selections of beautiful beach dresses and wedding gowns, I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to wear. I fell in love with two of the floor length gowns, but wasn’t quite sure if it would be uncomfortable to wear to a beach wedding. So, even though I loved the gowns, I chose a lightweight knee length beaded satin dress with a gorgeous lace covering and spaghetti straps.

The bridesmaids wore lovely little linen halter beach dresses with a crocheted bodice covering. My fiance’s wedding attire consisted of a blue shirt and white pants made of linen, and his groomsmen were also dressed in linen, with white shirts and sandy colored pants. Our flower girl wore an adorable little sundress and the ringboy stayed nice and cool in his little khaki shorts and white cotton shirt. I found the most lovely flower bouquets for the bridesmaids and myself, and the entire wedding party looked absolutely perfect.

I kept thinking how I should have bought two wedding albums, because I wanted lots of pictures of our wonderful beach wedding and reception. I expect photos of every person here and everything at our wedding including our reception and the beautiful beach décor. I especially wanted photos of us taking our vows under the beautiful flowered arch and satin canopy we had put up. Directly after the ceremony we left to change into more suitable beach wear for the reception party. Some of the bridesmaids and groomsmen wore their swim wear under their wedding clothes, and some went home to change. The guests were informed on the invitations to wear casual clothing.

Our reception was such a big success, and everyone complimented us on our gorgeous wedding accessories and how lovely all of our tables were. There were so many other beach themed accessories to choose from, along with our gorgeous wedding album. The little beach chairs I found worked out perfectly as place card holders and they made great little picture frames too. I think our friends and family thought they were cute, I know I did. They also had beach wedding favors that I just had to have for our guests. The little tea lights I chose were in the shape of miniature sand castles and to help them keep the memory of our wonderful beach reception. I found everything we needed, as far as accessories and decorations, for our wedding table and our guests reception tables. Not only did I find the perfect wedding cake topper, but I also bought their beach themed crystal flutes, wine glasses, cake serving set and so much more.

Some of the guests were commenting on the gorgeous décor of our reception tables. To help add to the atmosphere, I also bought some of their beautiful gel candles and placed them on all the tables, along with a few tiki torches here and there. Planning this beach wedding and reception was a lot easier than I thought it would be, with all the accessories and supplies they had. It couldn’t have been a more perfect dream wedding and reception, with the gorgeous ocean as our background and the warm sand under our feet.

Now I sit here and relive that wonderful day by enjoying all the photos I have in our beautiful beach wedding photo album.
