Unique Wedding Bell!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

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 the way our ceremony went. 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. Our invitations were quite lovely with the silver printing on the front. I also ordered from this fantastic choice of accesssories, the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket, which came as a set. It was actually more than the basket and pillow, it also had my wedding garter, guest book and pen set, in a gorgeous rich garnet. Five items bought as a group, that cost a lot less than you would think.

They also had an aisle runner I really liked, so I ordered that to my list of wedding supplies. The process of selecting wedding bell decoration was really a great one. All the little bells were ringing at the end of the ceremony, as we made our way to the limo. I really liked the idea of the bell ringing.

The accessories for our wedding ceremony wasn’t all I ordered, I also got our supplies for our reception there too. They really had quite a collection of gorgeous wedding reception accessories to choose 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. There were twisted stemmed flutes which I ordered for our guests and a special toasting flute set I ordered especially for the bride and groom for our table. The wedding silver bells I picked out not only helped to add the sparkle I wanted for my tables, but served as a wedding favor for each of our guests.

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. Each set of coasters had a special calla lilie design. I put the wedding favors in little silver party favor boxes that came with thank you cards for each of them. The wedding favors in their little silver boxes made our tables even more elegant. There were also some very unique centerpieces on our reception tables, made up of flowers and candles, that I bought online.

At the end of the reception hall was our wedding cake on a special little table. Three tiers of luscious chocolate and cherries with a gorgeous wedding cake topper as the crowning glory. I really fell in love with the cake topper I bought, with it’s attractive little ribbon made into a bow at the bottom of the heart with calla lilies added. The reception was fantastic, as was the wedding ceremony. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. There were several pictures of us cutting the wedding cake and feeding that first piece to each other. There were also pictures of our first dance together as man and wife, our guests on the dance floor and an adorable picture of the flower girl and ring boy dancing together.

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 plan on having another wedding ceremony and reception for our anniversary one year and I was so glad to hear that my wonderful husband thinks that’s a fantastic idea.

Unique communion favors

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to find communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual touch to them. So, I checked out a lot of religious shops and even book stores but still couldn’t find anything that seemed just right. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. I chose decorative tins filled with candy for the grown ups and the children received candies packaged in adorable little teddy bear containers as their communion party favors. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.

Shopping for her communion dress was like a rehearsal for the future. I know that before long she’ll be walking down the aisle on her wedding day. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. I suppose planning a party for her communion isn’t all that different from the someday wedding reception I’ll be helping her to plan. We ordered a cake, had lots of food for everyone and even had a band. We didn’t want to lose the fact of the importance of this special day, but we also wanted to make this party a memorable one. I also bought a girls pink photo album for her to have as her very own with pictures of her first holy communion day and the party with her friends and family. Like I said before we wanted to keep things as simple as possible and not go overboard, so me and some of the other moms made the food, and the only thing I ordered for it was the cake. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. Our family and some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful afternoon with us. We all had such a wonderful time and it was a very lovely party. Her father and I had her name engraved on a beautiful gold cross we ordered for her, and there were many wonderful communion gifts she received from our guests, too.

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. She’s growing up so fast and before you know it I will be helping her plan her wedding day and picking out reception accessories with her, for real. At least when it does come to that, I’ll know where to send her for her wedding supplies and accessories for her reception. They have so much to offer in the holly communion favor section and it’s the best place to shop, there is also whole line of wedding accessories. She’ll have plenty of accessories and wedding favors to choose from at my favorite online shopping site. 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. You can choose from many themed ceremonies and receptions like oceanside weddings, or seasonal ones like winter wonderland and my particular favorite, western themed receptions. 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.

Unique Gifts For Bridesmaids!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. 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. They had so many wonderful suggestion for the bridesmaids thank you gifts. My fiance chose exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts on his first look through the selection. He found some very nice shot glasses he liked and that was what he chose to buy for the guys. With me, I’m on there everyday looking at the selection over and over again, trying to make a decision.

I’d decide on the jewelry boxes and then the lovely bracelet they have would side track me and I’d start considering 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. All the bright vibrant colors of fall were in the accessories I chose for our fall wedding and reception. There were even flower girl baskets and ring bearer pillows that came in an autumn motif. I ordered everything from the flower basket to an aisle runner.

There reception ideas for fall accessories were really sensational. There were place cards and holders, wedding favor boxes and some of the most beautiful wedding favor gifts I’ve ever seen. I’m pretty sure these wedding favors I ordered for our guests will be a big hit. We had 200 guests and I ordered 201 wedding favors, because I liked them so much, I thought it would make a great keepsake to add with my other momentos. They were such lovely little glass coasters. I also bought our wedding cake topper from there and had no problem picking out the one I liked the best. I went for the heart made of sparkling glass with which I had our names put on. If a storybook were to be our wedding theme, there was one storybook topper I would definitely have used. I would have been ordering the castle topper for a storybook wedding. It was really special and would have fit right in with a storybook themed wedding.

I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time picking out a nice cheap bridesmaid gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. Thanks to all the discount offers they had, there were many gifts for bridesmaid to choose from. After a while I shortened my list of possiblities down to two. It was a toss up between the gorgeous jewelry boxes or the bracelets. Even though I had it narrowed down to only two items, it still took me a little longer to make that final decision. But low and behold, I did make that decision. I decided to buy both. They were each getting a beautiful silver bracelet and a just as beautiful jewelry box to keep it in. Why not, it’s not that expensive and I feel they deserve it.

Our wedding day was all I had hoped it would be. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely filled with all the romance and beauty any bride could have wanted, and we all had a wonderful time at the reception. Our friends and family really liked the wedding favors they received and made comments on the lovely ceremony we had. The groomsmen liked the shot glasses and my girls said they loved the bridesmaids gifts we had for them too. This day was everything I hoped it would be, and then some.

On the market for a wedding knife and server

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. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake knife to match every theme. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.

Since, I had made up my mind to use the storybook theme, it was time to find my accessories and reception supplies. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. 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. Tall vases filled with flowers were all around the altar, and tapered candles in fairytale holders were place on the sides of the 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. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

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 also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. They have everything where I bought our reception supplies, even the perfect wedding cake topper in a storybook theme for our gorgeous cake. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. The wedding cake server and knife was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! The set made a nice addition to the wedding cake and topper decoration.

As soon as the bridal toast and the best man’s speech was over, my husband and I had our first dance as husband and wife. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.

Our wedding and reception was truly unbelievable and I know now that fairytales can come true.

Amazing Bridal Hair !

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

When my fiance and I set the date for our wedding, I started planning and shopping for all my accessories and wedding supplies, right away. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. There were accessories and reception supplies that would help me to plan the most fantastic wedding and reception party ever, all on my computer. 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. Our friends and us have spent many days on the beach, since we were kids, growing up here and it seemed like the perfect place for our wedding.

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. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my bridal accessories I would need. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of wedding bridal accessories. 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. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. 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 and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. Everyone of them looked stunning and my flower girl was so adorable.

Our reception tables were all set up on the beach with tiki torches scattered all around and lights strung up by the make shift dance floor we had. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. As wedding favors I wanted to give them something special from the seaside collection, so I chose the beach themed photo frames for each of them. 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. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. 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. We all had a wonderful time enjoying good food and good music to dance too. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

After we returned from our honeymoon, I had to get down to writing all the thank you notes to our guests. Whenever I want to remember my wedding day, I’ll take out my beach themed photo album and look at all the pictures we had taken.

The sweet sixteen favors…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I was planning a birthday party for my daughter, who was turning sixteen and needed some suggestions. A friend of mine said she went online and found a lot of accessories and party favors for her daughters party. So I decided to give it a try. I was really surprised at what super favors and table decorations they had. I found a lot of nice stuff I can use for her party. There were cookie cutters I used to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 for her guests.

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. So I made the arrangements, and reserved tables with the roller rink in our neighborhood. Then I invited all of her best girl friends. It didn’t cost as much as I thought it would. Refreshments, pizza and hot dogs were also part of the package, and didn’t cost very much at all. I got the house prepared for the party that was to continue after skating. 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 saved money on the roller rink deal, I decided it would be nice to get the girls a few sweet sixteen favors. I found pink photo albums for the girls and gave each of them a disposable camera for party pictures. Everyone got a camera before we went to the roller rink party, but no one got an album until later that evening. 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.

One of the favors was a cosmetic bag that had each girls initial on the front button. The cosmetic bags were just the beginning, I also bought manicure sets and purse mirrors for each of the girls. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. 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. After they got tired of dancing to their favorite tunes, they decided to give make overs and manicures to each other. From all the noise and laughing you knew they were having the time of their lives.

After they tired themselves out, they decided to put on a movie and grab the popcorn. I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible and just let them have a good time, but they asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with them. That was such a nice thing to ask me to join them. They were able to watch two of the movies we rented before eyes started closing. Now it was down to just me and my daughter and she didn’t make it very long. Just before she closed her eyes, she let me know how much she appreciated her super birthday party.

They ate breakfast and cleaned up everything left from the birthday party before I even got out of bed. It was really sweet of the girls to do that. Most of the girls went home after a couple hours of hanging out with my daughter. Each of the girls said they had a great time at the party and they loved the favors for sweet sixteen I got them. I like that my daughter and her friends now consider me to be a cool mom.

The summer wedding invitations

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I didn’t have as many problems planning an outside wedding as I thought I would. It turns out that it was a lot cheaper in cost than it would have been to have an indoor wedding. 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. Instead of having our wedding ceremony and reception on the beach or in a garden, I chose to have it in the park. I found several perfect parks that would work fine for our wedding day.

I decided to go online and get some expert advice on how to plan the perfect outdoor wedding. 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.

We had canopies arranged for our reception and barring bad weather, planned to be wed under a lovely trellis. I mainly concentrated on the decorations for our wedding table and the reception tables. About all I needed were a extra flowers and my table settings, thanks to the already present beauty of the park. I decided to go with artificial flowers because I didn’t want to have our wedding to be the target of a bee swarm. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and didn’t look artificial at all. Although planning wasn’t as difficult a chore as I thought, there were quite a few things to take care of. Like, making sure there were citronella candles all around, rest rooms close by and making sure our cake was kept cool until ready to be cut.

I found quite a few terrific accessories that I could use for the 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. The chrome bottle openers we bought for our guests were packaged in beautiful favors boxes and given out as a summer wedding theme. The most beautiful part of our wedding table was our cake with it’s gorgeous wedding cake topper.

While shopping for my wedding accessories I saw this topper and couldn’t resist it. They were customized toppers for the wedding couple. 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. Everything I ordered for our ceremony and reception was the best in wedding accessories, especially our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set. It’s unbelievable all the lovely accessories you can purchase from you computer.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. The weather cooperated and we never had to go to plan “B” with the tents. 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. There were many good comments about our beautiful wedding ceremony and fun filled reception party we had. I couldn’t have picked a better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception party. If we should decide somewhere down the line to have a renewal wedding ceremony, I think I’d like to have it in the park again.

The baby shower favor and ideas

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. I found many good suggestion there. I ordered all of the accessories and decorations I needed and as soon as they were delivered, I started decorating. All tables was set up with baby in mind. In front of every my little guest I putted a cute teddy bear which holded a card with there name, and every one of them had they own buggy favor box filled with candies. My guests complimented me on how lovley my tables looked with all the decorations and accessories. I prepared snacks for the buffet table and ordered a scrumptious chocolate cake, especially for the mother to be. Just for my unborn niece, I decorated the cake with pink icing and other small cake decorations. I also picked out an adorable cake topper that were little baby building blocks. I must say the cake turned out perfect and the decorations were beautiful.

Everyone liked the little baby bootie candles I had for cheap baby shower favors, 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 ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. This online buying is the best thing I had ever done before: its easy,convenient and much cheaper. They had almost everything I needed to throw a fantastic baby shower and all I had to do was order it all. 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 party favor. We played games, the mother to be opened presents and we all really enjoyed ourselves. One of the best games we played required filling baby bottles with something to drink. 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 also had everyone give me a picture of them when they were babies and pinned them on a board. Everyone then had to try to find a match of a baby photo to the adult person. Whoever got the most right, wins a baby shower prize. By the way, I also got the baby shower prizes from my favorite online site. 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. There is even accessories for graduation and birthday parties as well.

You must wonder how I know about this site for baby showers and their great selection of accessories? 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. It’s the best place to go for themed wedding accessories and supplies, even if you are planning a destination wedding. Getting my accessories online was one of the best ideas I ever had. I’ll use this site for all of my future parties.

Perfect cheap wedding pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Going online seemed like a good idea to find a wedding guest pen and other supplies. It was a good idea, I found all sorts of styles and decorative colors, and I also found different weddings you can choose from. There were a lot of choices I was rather captured by, as far as themes for weddings and receptions. Since our ceremony is in January, I thought a winter wonderland wedding and reception would be ideal. At first, I kinda wished we were getting married in early December so we could have a Christmas wedding, with a big tree and everything Christmasy. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Now it was time to put my plans in motion.

First I found the perfect winter wonderland wedding invitations to send to our friends and family. Then I went for all the winter accessories for our wedding ceremony, from flower girl basket to ring boy pillow. I was sure I picked out all the accessories I had to have for our winter wedding, but that wasn’t the case. The wedding guestbook and wedding pen completely slip my mind. Then I checked out all the winter guest books and wedding pen sets available until I found just the right one for our ceremony. The guest book was designed with snowflakes and a little blue thrown in with sparkling little crystals. They also had the wedding pens that went perfectly with this gorgeous winter guestbook. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. There were a lot of wedding albums to choose from, but what really surprised me was all the anniversary albums they had available. I planned to keep this in mind for future references.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. They had it all as far as winter wonderland wedding supplies, and the first thing I bought for the reception were the champagne flutes, designed to match our wedding guest book and pen. They have such beautiful wedding stemware. With all the beautiful crystal champagne flutes, the gel candles and the exceptional looking centerpieces I picked out, our reception tables were simply elegant. We were also able to get quite a few accessories and supplies at a discount and save money on our wedding expenses, which really helped us out. As beautiful as it all was, it’s hard to believe they didn’t cost a lot more.

There were a lot of cake toppers to check out too. 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 sled cake stand got a lot of compliments from our friends and family and I had to thank my fiance for that creative suggestion.

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 cheap wedding pens went over surprisingly well, and everyone really had a wonderful time at the reception. 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.

Perfect wedding album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Once we decided on a beach wedding, I started looking for all my accessories and supplies they had in a beach motif. First things first, I bought 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. Now that the invitations were in the mail, it was time to find my beautiful beach wedding dress. 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. I found a beautiful beaded knee length dress made of light weight materials of satin and lace, with spaghetti straps for my wedding.

My bridesmaids looked so lovely in their haltered beach dresses of cool linen with a crocheted bodice. 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. The little ring boy wore a white cotton shirt and khaki shorts, and our flower girl was so cute in a light fabric sundress. Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic and the bouquets were absolutely the most beautiful arrangements I could have found.

I wish now,with all the photos of our wedding being taken, that I would have bought two wedding albums, instead of only one. I planned to have pictures of all the fantastic decorations at our wedding and reception and photos of every guest that attended. I was sure to let the photographer know I wanted plenty of photos of our vow exchange under our satin canopy and lovely flowered arch. When the ceremony was over, my new husband and I went to our hotel room to change into some more comfortable beach outfits. Some of the bridesmaids and groomsmen wore their swim wear under their wedding clothes, and some went home to change. I wrote on all the invitations to dress in casual clothing for this wedding.

Our guests seemed impressed with the wedding accessories for our reception tables that were done in a beach themed décor. The place I shopped not only had the beach wedding album I wanted, but so many more accessories to go with it. The place card holders I chose were these miniature beach chairs that can later be used as photo frames. I really liked them and I’m sure our guests did too. I also found the perfect beach wedding favors for our friends and family. We bought them little tea lights in the shape of sand castles to represent our oceanside reception. I found quite a bit of accessories and decorations for our beach themed reception tables and the bride and groom table as well. 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.

There were a lot of nice comments made by our guests on how lovely everything looked. 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. Putting together everything for our wedding and reception was not as hard as I thought it would be, thanks to all the help I had in finding the perfect beach wedding accessories and reception supplies online. 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 can look through our special beach leather wedding photo album and enjoy that day once again.
