Valentine’s day can be the perfect wedding day. We both wanted a Valentines day wedding. I went shopping for our ‘in love wedding favor‘ just as soon as we had all the arrangements for the church and our reception taken care of. It didn’t take me long to find some very romantic wedding invitations for our ceremony. They were such pretty invitations with little silver hearts linked together on the front. Mom’s suggestion of buying extra invitations was really a good idea since I messed up two of them while writing them out.
Now that the invitations were on their way, it was time to do some major accessories shopping. My mom went with me to find the perfect wedding dress and wedding shoes. Once she got past the tears at the first sight of every wedding dress I tried on, she was a big help. After hitting every shop in town and checking out the many styles that were available, I found the perfect wedding dress for me. It only took the groom to be and his groomsmen one stop to find their tuxes. I half way expected him to be dressed like a pall bearer, since he took the first thing he looked at. But that wasn’t the case, he really looked fantastic.
After making sure the wedding party’s needs were handled, I started to work on decorations for the church ceremony. I had red roses arranged around the altar and throughout the room, with ribbon and red velvet bows hung on every pew. The altar was covered in candle light and I found the most beautiful themed unity candle for our ceremony. I was able to have red and pink rose petals for the flower girl, which I had to get permission for from the church. Most churches won’t allow that anymore, but ours was pretty nice about it. It was the perfect wedding ceremony and our church décor was absolutely lovely.
I thought there was a lot to buy for the ceremony, but there was a lot more to get for the reception. Our supplies for the reception started with love theme decorations with a love theme and ended with love wedding favors. The decorations were really quite romantic with hearts dangling from the ceiling and flowers everywhere. In front of the band was red and white balloons in the shape of a large heart, right on the dance floor.
The centerpieces we had made up for the reception tables had bouquets of flowers with a little cupid sticking out of each one. The little white pearls on the place card holders really added to the love décor of the tables. I packaged the beautiful love favors in favor boxes that were very decorative. Everyone commented on how lovely their reception tables were and the little favor boxes too. Our wedding table looked gorgeous too. Along with our love themed cake serving set were beautiful crystal heart champagne flutes, perfect for the bride and grooms toasting. But the most beautiful thing on our table was our lovely three tiered wedding cake. For the crowning glory of our cake I chose a love birds cake topper. Everything on the wedding table was perfect, starting with our sparkling crystal all the way to the three tiered wedding cake.
We had a picture perfect wedding and reception, thanks to all the accessories and supplies I found online.
I got to the thank you notes for our guests as soon as we got back from our fabulous honeymoon. Many of the guests sent us thank you’s for the great time they had at the wedding and reception and for the love party favors gifts they received. That was truly very thoughtful of them.
