Supplies for wedding?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I couldn’t believe all the wedding supplies I needed to buy for my wedding ceremony and reception! Now I know why the girls at work told me to start wedding shopping asap. I was more concerned with the dresses, tuxedos and wedding party attire, I never realized that would be the easy part. There was a lot more to planning this event than I realized. At the top of my to do list was the invitations to our country western themed wedding and reception. With my wedding reception supplies list in hand, I’d take it one item at a time, and then mark it off. The first thing I had written down was my country themed decorations for the reception. Instead of running from store to store, I took my friends suggestion and checked to see what there was online. To my surprise, they had more than I expected.

There were a lot of decorations for all sorts of themed weddings as well as my country themed accessories, right there online. Our tables looked so fantastic with the cute little place card holders I picked out. What better place card holders to have at a wedding reception cookout than little barbecue grills?

For our centerpieces I took metal campfire cups and filled them with wildflowers and placed western garland around them. There were really super supplies for wedding for our wedding guests included in all the wedding reception supplies. They also had cowboy hats for the bride and groom that I decided to buy. I ordered the lovely western champagne flutes for the wedding toast that they had, too. We also had those old time lanterns and lots of white christmas lights strung outside over the reception tables. Our beautiful wedding cake with the old west cake topper really added to our bridal table. With all the themed accessories and decorations for the reception and the tables, anyone could pull off the perfect western wedding. I also bought a cake knife set, tiny little cowboy hats, my wedding album, and wedding guest book and pen set all in a country western theme. I was so impressed at how simple and convenient it was to order all my wedding and reception accessories through the online shopping site.

Some of the reception stuff I did find at stores, like barbecue grills, hay bales and a few other things I needed. Well, I guess I should say, my fiance and his friend did that shopping. They even made a super dance floor for the reception. So,we had an exceptional dance floor, a great country band to play for us and really terrific food of all kinds. They grilled chicken, steaks ribs and more, and the buffet table was filled with all kinds of salads. Everyone was having such a fantastic time.

Some of the guests talked about how good our western accessories and decorations were. Going online to search for accessories and décor ideas really paid off. What I liked the best, was the convenience of having them delivered right to my house and all I had to do was pick out what I wanted and order them. I had no time to go from store to store looking for all the accessories I needed, this way was so much better. What was really a big help was the fact that I was able to find a lot of discount wedding supplies from their great selection. Before you run from place to place, take my advice and try online browsing for your supplies first.

Lovely wedding favors

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

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.

Nice wedding guest book

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

After a long search for the perfect wedding album and wedding guest book I had just about given up. I got so tired of going store to store that I almost decided to tell my fiance, I’d rather elope. A friend suggested that I take a look at the wedding accessories available online. So, I checked it out. And you’ll never guess. There it was, my themed wedding guest book, plus a lot of other wedding accessories I could use for my themed ceremony and reception.

It was the perfect fairy tale guestbook for our wedding. I even found the perfect storybook pen and holder to go with it. I also found our wedding album and lots of other great fairy tale themed ideas. There was a lot more wedding decorating ideas than I expected and the choice of accessories was fantastic. I found items for my flower girl, ring boy and bridesmaids, and my fiance found the perfect groomsmen gifts for the guys and his best man.

Finding everything in one place sure beats running all over the neighborhood for accessories. Naturally, we went to the caterers for our food, the bakery for our cake and found a photographer and entertainment. Except for our wedding attire, most of our wedding and reception items I ordered from the web. The accessories for our wedding, like the gorgeous guestbook wedding items, didn’t cost us as much as I thought it would. In fact, a lot of our wedding accessories, and decorations, we got at a discount. That really helps on the wedding budget for two people just starting out.

The wedding favor suggestions were really nice and I took my time picking out just the right ones. This was our friends and family and I wanted to make sure I picked out the best in favors I could find. The job of choosing favors was divided between me and my fiance, I bought for the girls and he bought for the men. We felt that was the best way to do it. I chose these lovely little wedding carriage candles for each of the ladies, that went perfectly with a storybook wedding. For the men at the reception, my fiance decided on keeping it manly and got everyone special shot glasses as thank you gifts.

I forgot to mention that when I ordered our wedding guest book and pen, I also ordered an extra. One was strictly for the ceremony, and the other were wedding guest books. There were a few people that weren’t able to attend the reception and I wanted to remember everyone that was there. And what a celebration it was! The dancing and partying lasted for hours. I really lucked out when I bought the picture album for our wedding, with it’s scrapbooking pages and special place for my little keepsakes, it held on to a lot of memories. It held a lot of little souvenirs of our wedding, like an invitation, wedding napkin and other memorabilia.

We were having such a wonderful time at the reception, we almost hated to leave, but we had a plane to catch for our honeymoon. Some of our friends and family wished us well, gave their congratulations and thanked us for inviting them to our reception. I hope everyone really had a great time, I know we did.

My new, wonderful husband didn’t tell me where we were going for our honeymoon. I was blown away when we pulled up to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando for seven fantastic days. He wanted to give me another week of the storybook life. I not only have wedding pictures, but a whole separate album just for our honeymoon photos and I just had to get them developed as soon as we got back.

Perfect wedding bridal garters

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

I just started planning my wedding, when my sister volunteered her help. Finding the right accessories took a lot of shopping days. We must have covered every shop in town. The yellow pages had a long list that we decided to check out too. But, I wasn’t crazy about the accessories they had to offer. Plus the prices of the accessories I did like was way too much. I wrote a list on all the things that I needed to purchase. With very little time left, we still had a lot of work to do. So my sister decided to see if she could find any decent wedding accessories with the help of her computer. She told me there were lots of accessories and wedding decoration ideas to check out.

There were fantastic decoration ideas for all kinds of weddings and receptions. There were several themed wedding suggestions to work with. They had everything I needed, from wedding and reception décor to gorgeous lacy wedding garters. I was surprised to find out they didn’t cost a lot more than they did, they were so elegant. I found the perfect wedding bridal garters to choose from and some came with a free tossing wedding garter belt. I debated on which to choose, there was such a variety of styles available. You could also choose just your keepsake garters or one of the many tossing garters that were available. It wasn’t easy choosing between the lacy and satiny garters with fancy bows and embedded pearls. I picked out the one with the gorgeous satin ribbon roses and little tiny pearls. They are absolutely beautiful garters.

I also bought some of my bridal accessories there too, like my veil and tiara. It was a beautiful veil with pearls and ribbon edging. My tiara matched my veil perfectly with little pearls encased in gold. When I picked out my tiara, I was surprised to see that you could also buy tiaras for birthdays and bachelorette parties as well. They carry accessories and supplies for more than just weddings. They have a variety of party favors available too. There are favors for birthdays, girls night out parties, graduations and of course, wedding receptions.

I found almost everything I needed for our wedding ceremony and reception party. The wedding decorations for our church ceremony and our reception party was better than I could hope for. There were lovely flower bouquets throughout the church and on the end of each pew were satiny white bows. I was able to buy tapered candles and holders to go along with the beautiful unity candle I had purchased. I bought everything including a lovely guestbook and pen set from there, for our ceremony. There was plenty to choose from for our reception party too. The wedding cake topper I bought looked very impressive atop our wedding cake. The crystal glassware really made all our reception tables sparkle.

Our friends and family really seemed to like the little wedding favors I chose for them too. The favor boxes I packaged the wedding favors were so very attractive. They actually added to the décor of our reception. I also got some fantastic idea for table centerpieces while browsing online. Taking my sister’s suggestion and checking out the online wedding supplies was a life saver, not only because I found what I needed, but I was able to save a few dollars too. There were quite a few accessories I was able to get at a discount.

I found a section that has items for the perfect destination wedding and destination honeymoon too. We considered a destination wedding, but with all the friends and family counting on spending this day with us, we couldn’t disappoint them. Our special day was as spectacular as we had hoped it would be, thanks to all the lovely wedding suggestions we had to work with.

Best wedding decor

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Weddings and receptions need a lot of accessories. If you have your location and date for the wedding, then it’s time to get the invitations in the mail. You can pick from a lot of styles of invitations. There is invitations that are perfect for beach weddings, other themed ceremonies or the traditional romantic invitation. I chose the beach themed invitations.

I bought everything from invitations to wedding favors with an ocean side theme in mind. I also found quite a few suggestions for beach theme wedding decorations. I bought quite a few of the lovely gel candles for our reception tables. I thought the little seashell place card holders I bought were such a unique idea.

There was also some pretty unique ideas for wedding favors that represented our beach wedding. I narrowed it down to the picture frames or the lovely beach theme tea lights. After a long debate with myself, I decided to go with the beach themed tea lights. I just couldn’t resist them. They were so lovely, I ordered a couple extra for myself. I even found a lot of accessories for weddings decorations. Like the beautiful flower baskets and ring pillows that went so well with our theme. I even got my veil and tiara from there. I was able to buy almost everything from wedding accessories to reception supplies there. There is so much to choose from, and I was able to purchase some of the accessories at wholesale prices. Weddings can run into a lot of money, and having a place like this to shop really helps out financially.

One of the things I found so nice, is the many choices of themed wedding accessories they have. The seasonal themed accessories were really the best. The winter wonderland accessories were my favorite, and that’s what I would have decided on if we were marrying in the winter. There were such beautiful winter wonderland accessories to work with. But, for July I chose my favorite, an ocean side theme. I have to admit, it was pretty awesome. We all had a great time and our guests commented on what a wonderful reception and wedding accessories we had. I got a lot of comments about our wedding cake topper It was a lovely cake topper of the bride and groom on the beach.

They also had something nice to say about our beach themed champagne glasses. Everything looked perfect, from our wedding cake server set to our lovely centerpieces I had for everyones table. Our beautiful ocean side themed favor boxes really added to the table décor. I was totally surprised that I was able to find so many choices of beach themed accessories and reception supplies by going online. And the best part was the great prices. Finding my accessories and supplies while browsing the web was a lot easier and much more convenient than I expected. They also had accessories and decorations for baby showers as well and it sure would have helped me out if I would have known about it before I gave my friend her baby shower.

I picked out two wedding photo albums for all of our pictures. Special keepsake compartment, scrapbooking pages and windows for photos, these albums had it all. They have everything you can think of for your wedding and your reception.

There were so many lovely comments about our wedding decor and how nice our reception was. There was a lot of couples kicking up their heels on the dance floor and having a great time. It was a little hard to leave such a great time with our friends and family. But it was time to start on our fabulous honeymoon. I was really excited about this trip, not just because it was our honeymoon, but I’ve never been to any place like this before. I have a feeling this is the start of many years of excitement and happiness to come.

Traditional wedding favors

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I put a lot of thought about the theme for our wedding ceremony and reception. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a beach wedding, a garden wedding or a country western wedding. But I also considered having a traditional wedding. Then I found out about destination weddings and that one got me thinking. A destination wedding in Vegas or maybe the gorgeous oceanside in Hawaii sounded awesome. The islands of Hawaii would definitely be my first choice. But then I thought about all the people that would be disappointed that they couldn’t be there, and I had to toss that idea in the dumpster.
Then I thought about a winter themed wedding. But a wedding in July just didn’t seem like the right time to do a winter theme. So I decided to go with every young girls dream of marrying a prince, and chose to have a storybook wedding, just like in the fairy tales I read as a child. There were so many accessories and reception supplies to help with my fantasty wedding. I also found a place to get the perfect fairy tale wedding cake for a gorgeous royal wedding. So I finally made up my mind. We can declare a royal wedding.
I had no problem finding the perfect wedding invitations online. There were also plenty of accessories and supplies to pick out for my storybook wedding. I bought the most beautiful wedding gown I could find at the bridal shop and had my bridesmaids and little flower girl in exquisite floor length dresses, all with tiaras. My handsome fiance and all of his wedding party looked so elegant in their tuxes, even the little ring boy looked like royalty. As I made my way down the aisle to my handsome prince Charming I felt like I was living a dream. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding ceremony. The flowers, the candles, and the gorgeous satin bows on the end of the pews really set the whole thing off. Rose petals were falling all around us as we were leaving the church. We were driven to the reception in a horse drawn carriage, just like royalty.
A real castle wouldn’t haved looked as good as our reception hall with all of the fantastic accessories and decorations. I was able to find all the accessories I needed for this special themed wedding and some very lovely wedding favors for our friends and family. I even found adorable boxes for each and every wedding reception favor. There were so many accessories to choose from to help with our storybook reception. I decided on little coaches for place card holders and the gorgeous place card holders that looked just like Cinderella coach. They just have everything I could possibly need for the perfect fairy tale wedding and reception.
Everyone had a fabulous time and I received a lot of compliments on the décor. One of our guests stated that she’d never seen such a gorgeous ceremony as ours. If I do say so myself, it was quite spectacular. A fairy tale wedding was a great idea, and it really helped to be able to have such fantastic accessories to choose from. I wanted this to be special for our friends and family too, the way it was for us. Everything at our reception was in a fairytale theme, even our cake, so I wanted themed wedding gift boxes too. I wanted our guests to leave with something that would remind them of this special day. I wanted to give them something they would look back on with fond memories.
As soon as we returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes I needed to mail out. There was even thank you notes available in storybook theme. I wonder if we could do this again for our anniversary?

Best tea favors!!

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Coffee favors are a vital part of your wedding shower. Looking back over the years wedding showers have changed from simple to exciting and fun. More thought has been put into the gifts for the guests. These gifts are a way to say thank you and how much you appreciate them. Wedding favors and decorations have changed, even the way you buy them. Today planning weddings and purchasing items are done mainly online. Also wedding ideas come from just browsing the web.

When I was planning my wedding shower I knew that weddings can be very hectic, stressful, and time consuming but also one of the happiest moments of my life. I also wanted my guests to have a gift that they could use. I would plan my wedding once I found the right wedding favors. The web gave me options to figure out what was out there. I found a variety of wedding favors. I found wedding favors by theme, season and type. Choosing the right wedding favors was hard because there were so many different wedding favors to choose from. The wedding favors that are fun and functional are the best.

In my search I came across coffee and tea favors. You know that coffee and tea favors are very simple, elegant and affordable. Lately coffee and tea favors have become one of the more popular favors. Plus there is a large selection of tea party favors and supplies to choose from. My search was almost over when I decided to go with coffee and tea favors. I knew I would save money and also impress my guests. Coffee and tea is a refreshing drink and are gifts that keep on giving. The party favors are a great way to make your guests feel special and is a great way to say thank you. Coffee and tea favors also add a touch of elegance and also for your guests to remember your special day. They will give the room an amazing aroma.

Picking coffee and tea favors was a hard decision for me. You don’t have to limit tea favors to coffee and tea. You can get infusers for tea, little coffee cup candles and so much more. My decision was getting difficult because I fell in love with all of them and I did not know which ones to choose. I thought to myself that all of my guests may not like tea or may not like coffee. This made me make a decision to give out both coffee and tea favors for everyone. This would allow my guests to pick their favorite. By giving my guest this option they would get a gift they liked. My decision came to an end when I finally made up my mind to pick tea infusers for the tea lovers and coffee cup candles for the coffee lovers. This way, by giving the coffee and tea favors, I knew that my tables would look gorgeous, and at the same time would make the entire room smell of coffee and tea.

Finally it was the day of my wedding. We put up all the decorations and set up the tables. The room looked elegant and inviting. You felt cozy when you smelled the aroma of coffee and tea in the room. I could hardly wait to get to the reception with our guests, I was so excited. When they did arrive they were excited and amazed as I was. All my guest said that my shower looked elegant and how the room smelled of coffee and tea. My decision on coffee and tea favors was an excellent choice.

Great Wedding Collections sets!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Since I started looking, I must’ve seen hundreds of accessories at all sorts of prices. I browsed through a ton of wedding accessories, all ranging from expensive to cheap in cost. With all there is to plan and so little time to do it in, I was going crazy. My sister knew I was having a hard time choosing everything I needed for my wedding, so she had a suggestion.
Her suggestion was for me to try shopping online for my supplies and the wedding accessories I needed. It was the best advice she’s ever given me. I found quite a few of my accessories and supplies at prices I could afford.
There were lovely wedding collections that really helped out a lot. I picked out a beautiful set that had the wedding guest book and pen holder, ring pillow, flower girl basket, a lovely garter and bridal handkerchief.
I had never heard of a collection for wedding accessories before. Some of the sets came with gorgeous unity candles too. There were also many different themes for the wedding collection set. There were unique sets for beach themed weddings and gorgeous wedding sets for an Irish wedding too. But our wedding is going to be a traditional wedding. So I decided on the satin collection set with adorable bows that had satin all around the edges.
Most of the accessories and reception supplies I looked at were pretty reasonably priced. There were even wedding accessories that came with pretty substantial discounts. That really helps when you’re trying to plan a wedding and reception on a small budget.
There were even some fantastic wedding cake toppers to choose from. The funny wedding cake toppers were a definite plus in my book. When I showed him the cake topper I wanted, my fiance said he liked the idea of having a funny topper for our cake. It really showed the humorous side of marriage. I was able to get everything from our cake topper to our wedding favors online. They had everything I needed from toppers to favors, right there online. I was really surprised that I could get everything from wedding cake toppers to adorable wedding favor gifts, for our friends and family, on my computer.
There were bridal accessories galore to choose from for our ceremony. I picked out some of the lovely flower arrangements and the perfect aisle runners, as well as a unity and taper candles. They also had the veil and tiara I wanted. There was also beautiful white confetti that I bought for the guests to use when the ceremony is over.
Much of the décor and accessories for our reception was bought online. All the tables sparkled with the glassware, crystal champagne flutes and centerpieces with all the lovely flowers in it. I also ordered place card holders that they could use later as picture frames. I thought the crystal figurines I bought for our friends and family were a perfect wedding favor. Everything at our reception was absolutely as perfect as I wanted it to be.
Everyone complimented me on our beautiful reception décor and a couple of them expressed an interest in our guest book and pen holder despin. When I told them all I got with the wedding collection, and what a great price it was, they were really surprised. There was a lady there that’s helping her daughter plan for her wedding and she plans on telling her to shop where I did.
The accessories for our wedding ceremony and reception wasn’t all I bought, I also bought a beautifully despined wedding album. I decided on a white brocade wedding album with a place for keepsakes and scrapbooking pages.] There were so many keepsakes and photos of this special day, this album was filled in no time.
The albums they have online are so lovely, I bought a second one to use strictly for our honeymoon photos. The honeymoon was fantastic and I have lots of pictures to prove it. My sister really knew what she was talking about. She really did know the best place to shop for wedding accessories and reception supplies.
You were a big help, sis.

Best Ring Bearer Pillow!!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Online shopping for our reception accessories, flower baskets, and ring bearer pillows was my mom’s idea. I just placed my order and they delivered them, and it sure was better than running from store to store. They even had the type of invitations I was looking for, and a lot of discounted items to choose from too. There was also quite a few other items that I was able to get at a discount. I saved money on all the tiaras I needed for myself, bridesmaids and my flower girl, plus a lot of other accessories, like flower girl basket, rose petals and I also found terrific ring bearer pillow wedding suggestions. I couldn’t believe all the adorable ideas for satin ring pillows.

I couldn’t believe the lovely centerpieces and champagne flutes there were for the guests, with special bride and groom flutes too. There were elegant choices of candles and glassware to enhance my tables. There was such an assortment of themed wedding and destination wedding ideas, and a great selection of wedding favors too. There everything, including favor boxes for beach, winter, garden and other themed weddings. There are beautiful accessories for beach, winter, garden and other themed ceremonies and receptions. I really liked the novelty favors they have for a Las Vegas themed party, like the little photo albums and keychains.

As wedding favors I chose crystal paperweights for all of our guests. They were really lovely, so lovely I hated to package them, but the favor boxes were very decorative and added that extra special something to our tables. I found the perfect cake topper. The cake topper was the most exquisite part of our wedding cake. The beautiful satin bow and butterfly just made our cake even more beautiful.

Everyone seemed impressed with the décor and their wedding favors. Some of the guests came up and thanked me for their gifts and told me how beautiful they were. What I really liked about this place I shopped was the fact they have more than just cake toppers and a ring bearer pillow. There are ideas and selections for all parties, including showers, birthday and girls night out parties. My sister just told me the other day that she got all the favors and supplies she needed for my bridal shower at the same place I bought my wedding supplies. It was all courtesy of mom’s suggestion.

My sister is going to have a baby in a few months and I’m throwing her a baby shower, guess where I’m getting all of my shower supplies? I already know what supplies and favors I want to order, but I have to do that until some time next week. That’s when we get to find out if I’ll have a little niece or a little nephew. Even though there are a lot of neutral colors I could use, I’d rather try to have the décor and supplies in a boy or girl theme.

I want to thank my mom for pointing me towards this easy way to shop, it saved me a lot of time and money. I also want to thank her for helping with the reception arrangements and filling out all those thank you cards. You’re really a life saver mom. I promise I’ll keep this place in mind when it’s time for our anniversary parties. There are great little suggestions for anniversaries, even decorations, cake toppers and little thank you gifts. I found suggestions that would be perfect for our mom and dayd’s 30th wedding anniversary party. Me and my sister should look at the possibilities together. It won’t be long before they are celebrating their anniversary, we might as well get an early start on planning.

I Found Some Amazing Bridal Accessories!

Wednesday, April 8th, 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. I’m glad I did too, with all they had to offer there was no problem finding everything I needed to plan the perfect wedding and reception. Starting with the beautiful invitations I chose, and finishing with the super wedding favors for our friends and family.

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 immediately picked out our beach wedding invitations and made sure our potential guests received them promptly. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. Now, since the invitations were taken care of, I could concentrate on finding the bridal accessories I want for my wedding. I was surprised at all the accessories they carried for weddings and receptions, and I shop online quite a bit. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. I ordered a beautiful necklace and earring set that looked absolutely fantastic with my gown. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.

There was so much in the way of bridal fashion that was absolutely exquisite and the best part was, it wasn’t all that expensive. 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. My bridesmaids wore a light weight satin dress for my wedding and so did my little flower girl. 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. I had sailboat place card holders and placed seashells and starfish all around the tables. 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. Our wedding cake topper was especially designed for a beach wedding just as all our other accessories for our reception. We had a cake topper of a young couple holding each other as they walked along the beach. I’m so glad they had all the supplies and bridal accessories we needed to plan the perfect beach wedding and reception. We danced, ate tons of seafood, like shrimp, crab, lobster and of course we had other foods for those that didn’t like seafood. We danced to some really great tunes and enjoyed the fantastic foods that were prepared and just had one heck of a beach party. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

The first thing I had to do when we came home from our honeymoon was get out my wedding guest book I bought online and make out all the thank you notes for the people that shared our wedding day with us. My beach themed picture album has all the memories within its beautiful covers for me to enjoy anytime I want to look back on our special beach wedding and reception.
