What could be more romantic than a wedding ceremony held in the month of Februrary? That’s what I decided to do, have a ceremony and reception filled with one of the most adorned symbols of love throughout our ceremony and reception party. I started it off with the loveliest tiara that I ran across online. There were many wonderful decorations and supplies to choose from, such as the gifts I bought for everyone. I mailed out small cards that had two silver-colored hearts on the front of them for our invitations. The only thing I really had to do was write in the information, like the place and the date, and the rest was already filled out in beautiful calligraphy when we got them.
Inviting people, of course, was just the first phase, so I went right from that onto setting up the overall look and feel of the wedding, and then gathering together the supplies and accessories to make it work. On each of the pews I had big red velvet bows with ribbon strung from one pew to the next. At the altar were candelabras and our beautiful unity candle with the heart of little roses on the front. On the scene at the wedding, we put many pink and red roses mixed together, in the floral bouquet that I carried. It may have been a touch extravagant, but I’ve always wanted to have doves released as we left the church building, so we did, and it I thought it was wonderful.
We had figured out what our young ring boy and flower girl and everyone else was going to wear. As a flower girl basket, I decided to go with a gorgeous white satin with lovely lace and satin bows on each side. For the ring boy to carry down the aisle I ordered a gorgeous white double hearts wedding pillow with the two gold hearts entwined, and a white satin ribbon for the rings. My flower girl was going to wear a small tiara, and it was very similar in appearance to the one I had picked out for myself. She did look like a little princess in her lovely little pink flower girl dress, and she did such a super job in the ceremony. With his tiny tuxedo and red boutonniere, the ring bearer boy did as good of a job and he looked just as adorable. When he walked, he didn’t get out of sync with everyone else, and he bore the rings in distinguished fashion. I was very glad that I chose to include both of them.
I found the perfect hearts wedding accessories and decorations for our reception. We had gorgeous centerpieces with hearts and flowers scattered throughout. On the tables for each place setting were exquisite place card holders that could also make wonderful hearts wedding favor gifts for our friends and family. These beautiful little heart favors were the epitome of our love. Such a romantic setting. The hearts and flowers that saturated our wedding made it the very definition of what a love-filled, Valentine’s Day wedding should be. Thank goodness for the world wide web, which certainly saved me a ton of time and hassle.
