The wedding bells rang, rose petals were being tossed and our friends and family were yelling their congratulations as we left the church for our limo ride to the reception. That’s how it was on our wedding day. I have to say, it was a fantastic ceremony too, and with all the help I got on accessory suggestions, it wasn’t hard to put it all together. There was everything for to pull off the perfect wedding ceremony and reception.
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. There was a gorgeous flower girl basket and ring pillow among all the accessories that I decided to buy for our ceremony. It was a beautiful satin garnet color and included a wedding guest book, pen set and wedding garter. All five pieces of wedding accessories at a very reasonable price.
There were a lot of other items I ordered too, like my lovely aisle runner for the church ceremony. We wanted to have a wedding bell and we loved it! 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 thought that was a great idea.
The accessories for our wedding ceremony wasn’t all I ordered, I also got our supplies for our reception there too. There were all kinds of wonderful ideas for our wedding reception. 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. As an extra wedding favor for our friends and family I decided to choose wedding silver bells.
It was hard not to order all they had to offer in the way of accessories but I restrained myself for fear of over decorating. I did order some very nice wedding favors for our guests that were lovely glass table coasters. Each set of coasters had a special calla lilie design. I also chose these very elegant looking favor boxes with a little thank you tag on them, for the wedding favors. The silver favor boxes, along with all the other accessories on the tables, really added to the décor. I purchased flowers and ordered some beautiful candles to make into our centerpieces for the reception tables.
On a smaller table at the of our long table, was our fantastically designed wedding cake. Three tiers of luscious chocolate and cherries with a gorgeous wedding cake topper as the crowning glory. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding and reception. I had to go back online where I bought our wedding album and puchase a second album for all the pictures that were taken at the wedding and reception. There were so many shots of us with our wedding cake and the traditional cutting and sharing of the very first piece. I have pictures of our friends and family, the ring boy and flower girl on the dance floor together and our first dance as husband and wife.
I’m so glad everyone had such a wonderful time, and I received so many compliments on the decorations of the wedding and reception. Someday I’d like to have a renewal ceremony and reception for our anniversary and thank goodness, my husband agrees.
