Cool wedding bells

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 how it was on our wedding day. The wedding ceremony was so beautiful and everything turned out just like I wanted it, thanks to all the super accessories I was able to get. We had the best in wedding accessories and reception supplies to make it all a dream come true.

Everything from the lovely invitations to the fantastic party favors for our guests was in their wonderful collection of wedding supplies. 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. The process of selecting wedding bell was really a great one. 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. It was really a unique idea.

I bought accessories online for our reception as well as our ceremony. They really had quite a collection of gorgeous wedding reception accessories to choose from. I wanted our reception tables to shine with elegance, so the first thing I ordered were the crystal toasting flutes. I ordered special flutes for us that said bride and groom on them, and beautiful twisted stemmed flutes for all of our guests. Bell weddings really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a nice gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.

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. They were specially designed with a calla lilie on each one. I also chose these very elegant looking favor boxes with a little thank you tag on them, for the wedding favors. 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.

On a smaller table at the of our long table, was our fantastically designed wedding cake. Chocolate and cherries three tiers high with a very lovely cake topper resting on top. 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. We had so many photos of the wedding ceremony and reception that I went back online and ordered a second wedding photo album. 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.

I’m so glad everyone had such a wonderful time, and I received so many compliments on the decorations of the wedding and reception. I told my husband that I would really like to do this again someday for one of our anniversaries, and he agreed that it’s a good idea.

Cool Communion Party Favors!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I planned on giving our guests lovely communion favors to mark this special party. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. The teddy bears filled with candy were the holy communion favors for the kids, and I picked out candies in pretty little tins for the adults. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.

It was almost like we were looking for her wedding dress, instead of a dress for her communion. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. I guess in a way when you are planning a communion party it’s a little bit like planning a wedding reception. We had a cake decorated for the occasion, hired a band and made a buffet of different foods for the guests. We wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. We had lots of pictures taken at the party and we bought her a beautiful pink album for storing the memories of her communion day. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Just a nice dinner to share with our friends and loved ones. This party really meant a lot to our daughter and all of us had such a lovely time. 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. I know that day is not so far away and we will be sitting down checking out the online selection for wedding favors and accessories. When she’s ready to start planning her wedding and reception, I’ll know the perfect place for her to go shopping. They have so much to offer in the first communion favor section and it’s the best place to shop, there is also whole line of wedding accessories. I know she’ll be able to find just about any kind of wedding accessories and favors she needs for her wedding day. There is even more than communions and weddings to check out too. In fact, I saved this particular site to my desktop, because there are also quite a few suggestions for birthdays and graduations. They have accessories for baby showers, bridal showers and some great ideas for a girls night out parties. There were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. 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.

Cool bridesmaid gifts

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. I purchased almost all of the wedding and reception supplies from them. 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 a fantastic list of gifts to say thank you to my bridesmaids. Buying the groomsmen gifts didn’t seem to be half as hard for my fiance. He found some very nice shot glasses he liked and that was what he chose to buy for the guys. But I have to revisit the site everyday and check them all out again to try and pick out the best one.

I thought about ordering the beautiful jewelry boxes they have to offer, then I would see the gorgeous bracelet and start thinking about that gift. Thank goodness it was much easier picking out our items for the ceremony and reception party. I knew exactly what I wanted for those items. They had everything I needed for my autumn wedding ceremony. They had everything to go with the fall colors and décor I wanted. They had flower baskets and ring pillows in beautiful fall designs. Not only did I order all of my accessories for the reception, but I sent for my flower girl basket and added on a beautiful aisle runner as well.

For our reception there were so many great suggestions and designs for fall accessories. You can even order beautiful favor boxes for the unique wedding favors they offer, and the place cards and holders they have are pretty exceptional too. Our friends and family are going to love the favors we bought for them. But I also ordered one for me as a little momento of our special wedding day. They were such lovely little glass coasters. When I chose our cake topper, it didn’t take me near as long as it did for all the other accessories. I went for the heart made of sparkling glass with which I had our names put on. If I were having a fairytale wedding though, I know exactly which topper I would have chosen. I simply fell in love with the castle topper. 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 bridesmaids gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. They even had discount prices for a lot of accessories and gifts. There were bridesmaid gift ideas that looked expensive, but was very reasonably priced. After about a week of going back and forth with all the gifts available, I narrowed it down to two. On one hand I had the idea of the jewelry boxes and on the other was the lovely designed bracelets. So now the debate was on with just the two gifts to choose from, and that took another week or so. But I did finally decided on what I was going to do. My final decision was to give my bridesmaids the jewelry box and the lovely bracelet. They were each getting a beautiful silver bracelet and a just as beautiful jewelry box to keep it in. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s not as if they cost us a fortune or anything and my girls deserve the very best.

I was so happy that our wedding day turned out to be so perfect. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Many of our guests told use how lovely everything was and how nice their wedding favors were. The guys loved the shot glasses and my bridesmaid gifts were a success too. This day will live in my memory forever.

Lovely 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. The country western theme seemed like it would be lots of fun. I pictured a reception party barn dance for our wedding day. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding server to match every theme. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Once I estabished that I was going with the storybook idea, I started looking for accessories and 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 to have a Cinderella atmosphere to the whole thing. The decorations for the church were the first thing I wanted to get. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. 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. The flower girl and ring boy did a wonderful job at the wedding ceremony and really looked elegant in their wedding attire. As anyone knows, when Cinderella and Prince Charming married they didn’t leave the castle in a limo, they rode in a carriage, and that’s what we did.

With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. I found these very exquisite castles to use as place card holders on the reception tables. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

Even though all of our reception tables were gorgeous, our wedding table was the most breathtaking. It was a table fit for a king and his queen. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. While shopping for our other reception supplies I found the perfect fairytale cake topper there too. There was even a storybook wedding knife with lovely designs on the handle. The wedding knife and server 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. Many of our friends and family commented on what lovely storybook favors we had given them as gifts.

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

Lovely Bridal Accessories

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I started looking for all the accessories and supplies I needed for our wedding day, just as soon as we set the date. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. With all the great accessories and reception supplies I found online, it was easy to find what I needed for our wedding. From invitations to fantastic wedding favors gifts for our guests, they had it all.

We had no problem choosing the theme we wanted for our wedding and reception, it had to be a beach theme. We’ve always lived near the water, even as kids and it has been a favorite place of ours and our friends for years.

I immediately picked out our beach wedding invitations and made sure our potential guests received them promptly. Everyone answered with a definite yes, and everyone seemed really excited about sharing this day with us. 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 bridal hair. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.

The quality of the bridal accessory I saw was fabulous – and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. I ordered some things for our honeymoon too. Even though we were getting married on the beach, I insisted on a floor length wedding dress. My bridesmaids wore a light weight satin dress for my wedding and so did my little flower girl. Everyone of them looked stunning and my flower girl was so adorable.

There were torches around the reception area and the dance floor was lit up with little white lights we had strung around. On the reception tables there were seashells and starfish scattered about and place card holders that were adorable little sailboats. The wedding favors I chose were lovely photo frames with a beach design, because I thought they were so pretty and I know that’s something that they can always use. Everyone seemed to like the gifts they received.

There were tealights and candles to light up our beautifully set bridal table and lovley beach themed flutes for the wedding toast. 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. With all the items and bridal accessories they had available, it was easy to make this wedding and reception a total success. For those that weren’t into seafood, we made sure we had plenty of steaks and chicken for them. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

As soon as we returned from our honeymoon I got out my beautiful beach themed wedding guest book and started writing thank you cards to our friends and family. That was a day I’ll always remember and I’ll have lots of photos in my beach wedding album to look at and relive again and again.

Affordable sweet sixteen ideas.

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My daughter is turning sixteen and I was looking for some unique ideas for her party. My friend found quite a few party accessories and supplies online for her daughters celebration. So I decided to give it a try. I couldn’t believe all the nice table accessories and party favors that were available. There were a lot of accessories I found that would be perfect for her party. I was able to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 as one of the snacks for her party with the cookie cutters I ordered.

I talked to my daughter and got her views on what type of party she wanted to have, and she decided on a roller skating and slumber birthday party. So I made the arrangements, and reserved tables with the roller rink in our neighborhood. I sent all of her girl friends special party invitations. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. They had a great package deal for birthday parties, with pizza, hot dogs and refreshments. At home I had everything set up for the party to continue. I put out the cookies I had made, along with a few other snacks, and set up birthday decorations.

When I was searching the web for birthday ideas, I ordered a few other things besides the cookie cutters. Since this birthday party wasn’t costing me what I thought it would, I decided to order a few sweet sixteen favors for the girls. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. They all knew about the cameras, so they could take pictures at the roller rink, but they had no clue about the albums I bought for them. 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.

Another party favor was a cosmetic bag with their first initial printed on the front. With the cosmetic bags I bought manicure sets and little purse mirrors to go with it. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. We left the rink and went home to have her sweet sixteen party and watch her open her presents. We picked up movies on the way home for the girls and I made sure they had plenty of snacks and drinks, so they were all set for the night. After they got tired of dancing to their favorite tunes, they decided to give make overs and manicures to each other. You could tell they were all having a fantastic time.

After they tired themselves out, they decided to put on a movie and grab the popcorn. Even though I tried to stay out of the way, when they asked me to watch a movie with them, I jumped at the chance. It made me feel good that they wanted to include me. They were able to watch two of the movies we rented before eyes started closing. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. But before she passed out, she thanked me for giving her such a great party.

The next morning the girls were up before I was and had already had their breakfast and cleaned up from last nights festivities. I was very impressed with their thoughtfulness in helping me out. They shared a couple of more hours together and then some of the girls had left for home. As they were leaving, the girls thanked me for the wonderful time they had and all of the sweet sixteen party favors I bought for them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

Cheap summer wedding invitations!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Planning an outside wedding wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. In fact, it didn’t cost as much as an indoor wedding would have cost us. Having the natural beauty of the outdoors saved us a lot of money on decorations. I checked out a lot of places to have our summer wedding and reception. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I found several perfect parks that would work fine for our wedding day.

I wasn’t really sure where to start, so I shopped around for some much needed suggestions. I found out you need to have a plan B, in case inclement weather unexpectly arises. So we arranged to have a tent set up to move the ceremony into if necessary, just as a precaution.

Plan “A” was setting up a gorgeous trellis for our ceremony to be performed under and canopies for the reception. The only real decorations I needed were those for my wedding table and the guests reception tables. With the beautiful background of the park as our main décor, all I really needed besides table settings were a few extra flowers here and there. 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 only way you could tell that the flowers were artificial, was by touch, they were beautiful. 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. Each of our guest had a park bench place card holder and the centerpieces were flowers arranged around a glass globe with citronella votive candles inside. I found very decorative favor boxes and used them to package the chrome bottle openers we bought for our friends and family as a summer favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique 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. After I sent them a head shot of my fiance and myself they made our bride and groom topper to look exactly like us. What a wonderful momento of our wedding day. Everyone at the reception had something to say about how unique it was. Our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set was just a few of the fantastic accessories I ordered for our ceremony and reception. It’s unbelievable all the lovely accessories you can purchase from you computer.

Well, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was just as perfect. Thank goodness the weather stayed perfect throughout the entire ceremony and reception and we never had to put plan B into action. We had a wonderful DJ that I’m sure, kept the music going long after we left for our honeymoon. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception 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.

Cheap baby shower party favors

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. There you can find so many party items and great ideas if you are planning a party. Then I started to search the net for baby shower favors supplies and picking out what decorations I could find there. I found great ideas there to work with. I found and ordered all everything I needed for our wedding decorations and right after I got them, I started decorating. All tables was set up with baby in mind. There were little baby buggy favor boxes filled with little candies for each of my guests, and these cute little teddy bear place card holders for each of their names. The tables looked so fantastic with all the decorative accessories I bought online for the shower, and my guests seemed really impressed with what I had bought. I had a buffet set up with all kinds of foods and snacks, and the cake I bought was chocolate, in honor of the mother to be, who is a chocoholic. Just for my unborn niece, I decorated the cake with pink icing and other small cake decorations. The cake topper was fantastic too,with different colored baby blocks. I was proud of my cake and the decorations I chose, it looked so perfect.

I found great baby shower favor ideas for all of my guests that were such adorable little baby bootie candles that came in their own decorative boxes. I was really impressed with the supplies I bought, and the cute little baby gifts I bought from there too. Along with a pretty little pink baby photo album, I bought baby blankets and a layette set too. One of the best things about buying online is that it’s so easy and convenient, not to mention the money I saved. They had almost everything I needed to throw a fantastic baby shower and all I had to do was order it all. I found the cutest little bingo game that was perfect 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 had a lot of laughs together as we watched her open all the baby gifts and played silly games. I think one of my favorite baby shower games is where you take baby bottles and fill them with liquid and pass them out to each guest. The winner of this bottle game is the player to empty her baby bottle first. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Everyone then had to try to find a match of a baby photo to the adult person. The prize went to whoever had the most matches. I ordered all the prizes when I ordered my party supplies and accessories. Some of the prizes were things like candles, scented soaps and picture frames.

There was a fantastic selection to choose from, for everything you need from weddings to baby showers. They also had accessories and supplies for graduation and birthday parties too.

Want to know how I found out about this site for baby showers and other party accessories? I know because this is the same site I bought all of my wedding accessories and decorations from.

They’ve got some great wedding supplies, for almost any type of wedding and reception you can imagine. If you are looking for supplies and accessories for a destination wedding, or any themed ceremony, you can find it there. Getting my accessories online was one of the best ideas I ever had. If I ever need party supplies again, I’ll know where to go.

Cool wedding pen

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I thought online shopping would be a good idea to get a wedding guest book pen and other reception 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. I found some pretty neat ideas I liked for themed weddings and receptions, that I really liked. I thought since we were getting married in January it would be the perfect time for a beautiful winter wonderland wedding and reception party. 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. So, I decided it was definitely a winter wedding. Now I had to get started with all my wedding plans.

They had the prettiest winter wonderland invitations for our guests. Secondly, I chose our flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow and all the other accessories I needed for our wedding ceremony. I was thinking I had everything for our winter wedding I could possibly need, but I found out that I had forgotten something. I didn’t remember the wedding book and wedding pen. So, I searched through the wedding supplies and found the beautiful winter wedding guestbooks and wedding pen sets, and picked my favorite. There were snowflakes, hints of blue and perfect little crystals on the cover of our winter wedding guestbook. Along with our lovely winter themed guestbook was the winter themed wedding pens to match. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. I couldn’t believe all the gorgeous wedding albums you could get, there were even anniversary albums to choose from. I planned to keep this in mind for future references.

Now I was ready to move on to the supplies and decorations I needed for our wedding reception. I thought they had quite a few great winter wedding accessories but I was really surprised to find our champagne flutes with the same design on the stems as they had on our guestbook and pen. They were absolutely exquitsite. 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. It’s hard to believe we could get accessories so reasonably priced when they looked so very expensive.

They have a terrific selection of wedding toppers for you to pick from. Our cake topper showed a bride and groom in a whimsical winter activity. Our cake was five tiers high and covered in sugar snowflakes with blue and red designs of winter. This beautiful winter wedding cake was displayed on a silver sled cake stand. 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. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. They were the perfect winter addition to the reception tables. The favor 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. All of their decorating ideas and selections really helped me with so much of the planning.

Cool wedding photo album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

After it was decided that we were going to have a beach wedding, I went shopping for accessories and supplies with a beach theme in mind. 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. With the invitations all done and on their way to our prospective guests, I could move on to picking out the beach wedding dress I wanted for our ceremony. I looked at several dresses and gorgeous full length gowns, but really couldn’t make up my mind. 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 picked out a gorgeous spaghetti strapped dress made of satin and lace with beautiful little beads scattered around it, in a knee length.

The bridesmaids wore lovely little linen halter beach dresses with a crocheted bodice covering. All the groomsmen wore linen white shirts and sand colored pants and my husband, to be looked so handsome in his blue linen shirt and white pants. The little sundress our flower girl wore looked so adorable on her and our ring boy looked so cute in his little khaki shorts and white shirt. Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic and the bouquets were absolutely the most beautiful arrangements I could have found.

I kept thinking how I should have bought two leather wedding albums, because I wanted lots of pictures of our wonderful beach wedding and reception. I planned to have pictures of all the fantastic decorations at our wedding and reception and photos of every guest that attended. I especially wanted photos of us taking our vows under the beautiful flowered arch and satin canopy we had put up. 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. I bought everything for our tables at the same place I bought our lovely beach themed wedding album. I found the cutest little beach chairs as place card holders that they can use for their favorite little photo later. 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. The little tea lights I chose were in the shape of miniature sand castles and to help them keep the memory of our wonderful beach reception. I found everything we needed, as far as accessories and decorations, for our wedding table and our guests reception tables. They had the perfect crystal stemware, serving set for the wedding cake, wine glasses and a gorgeous beach themed cake topper.

Some of the guests were commenting on the gorgeous décor of our reception tables. Adding to the oceanside atmosphere were lots of gel candles I bought from them to put on our reception tables, and a few tiki torches were placed around the area. With all the accessories and supplies for the wedding and beach party reception, it made planning so much easier. Everything was like a dream come true, with the beautiful ocean waves and the warm summer sands as our wedding chapel and reception location.

Now I can look through our special beach wedding photo album and enjoy that day once again.
