Wedding Collections?

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Since I started looking, I must’ve seen hundreds of accessories at all sorts of prices. There were so many wedding accessories at a variety of prices. Considering all I have to take care of, I just wish I had more time to do this. My sister knew I was having a hard time choosing everything I needed for my wedding, so she had a suggestion.
She suggested that I try the internet for wedding supplies and accessories. It’s a good thing I decided to check it out. There were so many great accessories at wonderful prices.
I found wedding collections with so many beautiful wedding items. There was a lovely set that had the flower girl basket and ring boy pillow, wedding guest book and pen holder and a beautiful bridal garter and 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. They had Irish wedding sets and some really exceptional beach themed sets. But we’re having just a simple and traditional ceremony and reception. So, I chose a beautiful white satin set with satin edged bows.
Most of the accessories and reception supplies I looked at were pretty reasonably priced. In fact, there were quite a few items available at discount prices. 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. My fiance agreed with me that the funny topper I picked out would work great. 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 plenty of gorgeous accessories for our wedding ceremony. I picked out some of the lovely flower arrangements and the perfect aisle runners, as well as a unity and taper candles. I found the perfect veil and tiara for my wedding ensemble. 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. As wedding favors I chose special crystal figurines I thought everyone would like. I really think our reception was a big success.
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 they found out all the items I got with my wedding collection and how cheap it was in price, they couldn’t believe it. One of the ladies said she was going to tell her daughter about it, since she is planning her wedding.
I also bought a beautiful wedding album as well as the accessories for our ceremony and reception. This gorgeous white brocade album even had a place for scrapbooking and a special place to keep momentos.] There were so many keepsakes and photos of this special day, this album was filled in no time.
The albums they have to choose from are really exquisite and I decided I wanted an extra one for our honeymoon pictures too. With all the pictures we took on ou honeymoon, my album will be filled with the memories of the great time we shared there. I’m so glad my sister gave me her suggestion. She led me to the perfect wedding accessory and reception supply store, ever.
Your advice is greatly appreciated, sis.

Fresh Pillow Party Favors

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Online shopping for our reception accessories, flower baskets, and ring bearer pillows was my mom’s idea. I really enjoyed the convenience of shopping online and having all my supplies delivered to my door, saved me the trouble of running all over town. They even had the type of invitations I was looking for, and a lot of discounted items to choose from too. Our invitations weren’t the only thing I saved money on, I also saved on other accessories too. 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 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. If you need favors for themed weddings or destination weddings, they have that too. Some for a beach wedding, winter wedding, garden wedding and more, with beautiful and decorative favor boxes to choose from too. There were great little novelty favors too, like Vegas wedding gifts for friends and family, keychains, photo frames and more with a Las Vegas theme to them.

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. My favorite item I purchased was our cake topper. Our cake topper was so beautiful it almost out shined our wedding cake. The beautiful satin bow and butterfly just made our cake even more beautiful.

I got so many compliments on my décor and wedding favor gifts. I got so many thank you’s from our guests for their gifts. What I really liked about this place I shopped was the fact they have more than just cake toppers and wedding ring bearer pillows. They have everything you need for birthdays, showers and bachelorette parties too. 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.

In about three and a half weeks I’m giving my sister a baby shower and I already know where I’m getting the decorations, favors and other party supplies from. I already know what supplies and favors I want to order, but I have to do that until some time next week. By that time I’ll know if she is having a boy or a girl. I could go ahead and order everything in a non-gender color, but I’d really prefer to have a pink décor or a blue décor, with maybe an it’s a girl or it’s a boy banner.

My mother’s suggestion on shopping by computer really helped out a lot in terms of time and money. I also want to thank her for helping with the reception arrangements and filling out all those thank you cards. I couldn’t have done it without you, mom. I promise I’ll keep this place in mind when it’s time for our anniversary parties. They had some very nice ideas for anniversaries, like decorations, cake toppers and even favor gifts for guests. There were some very excellent selections for mom and dad’s 30th anniversary. 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.
