Cool wedding supplies

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I knew there were a lot of wedding supplies needed when planning a wedding and reception, but I never realized just how much. I’m glad I listened to the girls at work, when they told me I better start my wedding shopping right away. I was more concerned with the dresses, tuxedos and wedding party attire, I never realized that would be the easy part. There was a lot more to planning this event than I realized. The first thing I bought was our unique wedding invitations for our very unique country western wedding and reception. I started shopping for my discount wedding supplies, crossing them off the list as I go. Country themed decorations were the first thing on my reception supply list. Instead of running from store to store, I took my friends suggestion and checked to see what there was online. To my surprise, they had more than I expected.

There were a lot of decorations for all sorts of themed weddings as well as my country themed accessories, right there online. The adorable place card holders I chose really looked super on our reception tables. What better place card holders to have at a wedding reception cookout than little barbecue grills?

The wildflowers in metal campfire cups with western garland made perfect country type centerpieces. I found exceptional wedding favor supplies, including the perfect western themed wedding favors for all of our guests. In the wedding accessories selection were some super cowboys hats for the bride and groom that I ordered. Believe it or not, they also had terrific western champagne flutes for the bride and groom toast. I also had them hang white christmas lights all around the reception area and scatter a few old western type lanterns here and there. On our wedding table sat our elaborate wedding cake and atop that cake was a western themed wedding topper that really set the mood for the evening. With all the themed accessories and decorations for the reception and the tables, anyone could pull off the perfect western wedding. There was tiny cowboy hats for the tables, a gorgeous cake serving set, a wedding guest book and pen set, and a western style wedding album, which I dearly loved. I got everything for my western themed wedding and reception accessories by browsing the web, and it was all so easy to do.

There were some items I did have to pick up at a store, like bales of hay, a couple of big grills, and a few odds and ends to help the theme along. Well, I didn’t really get those things, the credit goes to my fiance and his friend, they took care of those items. They even made a super dance floor for the reception. So,we had an exceptional dance floor, a great country band to play for us and really terrific food of all kinds. There was all kinds of meat for barbecuing, like chicken, steaks, ribs and more, plus lots of different salads too. Everyone really enjoyed themselves.

Some of the guests talked about how good our western accessories and decorations were. I’m so glad I went online searching for wedding accessories and decoration ideas. What I liked the best, was the convenience of having them delivered right to my house and all I had to do was pick out what I wanted and order them. It really beats running all over the city looking for what I need for my wedding and reception. What was really a big help was the fact that I was able to find a lot of discount wedding supplies from their great selection. Before you run from place to place, take my advice and try online browsing for your supplies first.

Fantastic Love Wedding Favors!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

What better day for two people to marry than on Valentine’s day? We both wanted a Valentines day wedding. I went shopping for our ‘in love favor‘ just as soon as we had all the arrangements for the church and our reception taken care of. I had no problem finding the perfect invitations for our wedding and reception. The silver hearts linked together on the invitations looked so romantic. I’m glad I listened to my mom and bought extra wedding invitations, because while writing them out I made a few mistakes.

It was time to start thinking about my wedding accessories and reception supplies, since I’ve got the invitations mailed out. I asked my mom to come along on my venture to the bridal shop for my dress and shoes. Once she got past the tears at the first sight of every wedding dress I tried on, she was a big help. After hitting every shop in town and checking out the many styles that were available, I found the perfect wedding dress for me. All the guys in the wedding party and the handsome groom found their tuxes on their very first try. I half way expected him to be dressed like a pall bearer, since he took the first thing he looked at. But that wasn’t the case, he really looked fantastic.

Once our wedding party was taken care of, I needed to concentrate on how I wanted to decorate for our ceremony. I hung big red velvet bows at the end of the pews and made sure there were plenty of red roses arranged around the room and at the altar. I also had lots of candles around the altar, including our love themed unity candle. The church allowed me to have red and pink rose petals tossed down the aisle by our flower girl. There’s a lot of churches that frown on that tradition, but luckily ours isn’t one of them. The wedding was fantastic and the decorations were gorgeous, it was the perfect wedding ceremony.

I thought there was a lot to buy for the ceremony, but there was a lot more to get for the reception. I started with the love themed decorations and worked my way onto in love favors for our guests thank you gifts. The decorations were really quite romantic with hearts dangling from the ceiling and flowers everywhere. We had a heart shaped arch made of red and white balloons placed on the dance floor where the band was playing.

The centerpieces we had made up for the reception tables had bouquets of flowers with a little cupid sticking out of each one. The little white pearls on the place card holders really added to the love décor of the tables. I packaged the beautiful love favors in favor boxes that were very decorative. Our guests complimented us on our reception table décor and especially the little favor boxes. Our wedding table looked gorgeous too. There were crystal heart champagne flutes for our wedding toast, and an absolutely gorgeous love themed cake serving set. But the most beautiful thing on our table was our lovely three tiered wedding cake. For our cake topper I decided on these adorable little love birds. Our wedding table was exquisitely decorated, from the gorgeous crystal to our magnificent wedding cake.

Thanks to all the accessories and supplies I found online this wedding turned out to be absolutely perfect.

After my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes for our guests. Many of the guests sent us thank you’s for the great time they had at the wedding and reception and for the love party favors gifts they received. That was such a thoughtful thing to do.

They Actually Had A Guest Book Wedding To Fit My Theme

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

I looked everywhere for a themed album and wedding guest book that would go with my fairy tale themed wedding and reception. I was really becoming disgusted with my fruitless little expedtion. A friend suggested that I take a look at the wedding accessories available online. So I decided to take a look online. And you know what? Not only did I find the wedding guest book I wanted, but a lot of my other wedding accessories too.

This guestbook was just what I wanted for our fairy tale wedding. I also ordered a pen and holder that was perfect for a storybook wedding. I also found our wedding album and lots of other great fairy tale themed ideas. I had no idea there were so many great ideas for wedding décor and such a big selection of accessories available. I found items for my flower girl, ring boy and bridesmaids, and my fiance found the perfect groomsmen gifts for the guys and his best man.

I’m so glad I didn’t have to go store to store looking for these accessories. But, of course, there was the baker, caterer, photographer and the music to take car of. We also had to shop for our wedding attire, but most of what I bought for our ceremony and reception, I bought online. The accessories for our wedding, like the gorgeous guest book wedding items, didn’t cost us as much as I thought it would. There were a lot of wholesale wedding accessories we were able to get. That really helps on the wedding budget for two people just starting out.

The wedding favor suggestions were really nice and I took my time picking out just the right ones. This was our friends and family and I wanted to make sure I picked out the best in favors I could find. My fiance and I decided to split the wedding favors shopping, and I bought for the ladies and he bought for the guys. We felt that was the best way to do it. For each of our lovely lady guests, I picked out adorable wedding carriage candles that matched up with my fairytale theme. My fiance, being a man, chose some pretty cool shot glasses for the guys, even though it didn’t go with the theme, it was something they all liked.

By the way, I ordered more than one guest book for our wedding day. One was strictly for the ceremony, and the other were unique guest books. I wanted to look back on our reception and remember the guests that were able to hang around to celebrate with us. And boy, did we celebrate! We must have danced and partied half the night. With scrapbooking pages and a place for all the little keepsakes I wanted to hang onto, this wedding album I bought could hold all the memories of that day and more. I put one of our wedding invitations, monogrammed napkins and other little keepsakes in it.

The time came for us to leave for the airport and we had to leave our friends and family to start on our honeymoon. Some of our friends and family wished us well, gave their congratulations and thanked us for inviting them to our reception. I hope everyone really had a great time, I know we did.

My husband wanted to keep the destination of our honeymoon a secret until the last possible moment. I was blown away when we pulled up to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando for seven fantastic days. He wanted to give me another week of the storybook life. I not only have wedding pictures, but a whole separate album just for our honeymoon photos and I just had to get them developed as soon as we got back.

The most Beautiful Wedding Garter

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

I just started planning my wedding, when my sister volunteered her help. We did a lot of shopping for my accessories. We must have covered every shop in town. We even checked out the shops they had listed in the yellow pages. But, I wasn’t crazy about the accessories they had to offer. Even the price tags on this stuff was a concern. I had a list of all the things I needed to purchase. With very little time left, we still had a lot of work to do. So my sister decided to see if she could find any decent wedding accessories with the help of her computer. She found so many great items for our wedding, including decorations and reception supplies.

We looked at several kinds of wedding and reception ideas they had. There were several themed wedding suggestions to work with. There were fantastic wedding decorations and some very nice wedding garters to choose from. The low price certainly didn’t match up with their high quality looks. I found the perfect wedding bridal garters to choose from and some came with a free tossing cheap wedding garter. It was a little difficult picking out the ones I wanted because there were so many to choose from. You could also choose just your keepsake garters or one of the many tossing garters that were available. It wasn’t easy choosing between the lacy and satiny garters with fancy bows and embedded pearls. But the one I chose had pearls and satin ribbon roses on it. It’s simply a gorgeous set of garters.

I also got my veil, tiara and a few other bridal accessories from there. It was an exquisite veil with pearl and ribbon trim. My tiara matched my veil perfectly with little pearls encased in gold. I was surprised to find out that they also carry tiaras for birthdays and bachelorette parties. There are so many party accessories they carry, not just for weddings, but for other occasions too. You should see all the different styles of party favors there are. Along with fantastic wedding favors, you’ll find birthday, graduation and bachelorette party favors too.

Just about every accessory needed for our wedding and reception party, I found here online. The wedding decorations for our church ceremony and our reception party was better than I could hope for. The satin bows looked so lovely on each row of pews and the flowers were spectacular. Our unity candle was really beautiful and came with taper candles for each side of the altar. Everything for our wedding ceremony, including our guestbook and pen set came from there. I found a lot of wedding reception accessories too. Our wedding cake looked even more spectacular with the gorgeous cake topper I bought. There were beautiful sparkling crystal glassware on every table.

Our friends and family really seemed to like the little wedding favors I chose for them too. I found the most adorable favor boxes to package them in. They seemed to be an added decoration for our tables. There were a lot of super suggestions for wedding reception centerpieces there too. I’m just so glad I took my sister’s advice and went online to search for wedding and reception accessories, it helped me to find everything I needed and I was able to save money too. There were a lot of discount prices on several of the wedding and reception accessories.

There were a lot of nice accessories and wedding favors for a honeymoon and a destination wedding online too. A destination wedding was an option we considered, but there were have been some guests that would have not been able to attend. We were very happy with the way our wedding and reception turned out, and we had everything we needed to make it perfect.

The most wonderful wedding table decorations!

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

There is so much to buy for your wedding and reception. Invitations are the first thing on you list after you’ve decided on a date and location. There is a variety of invitations to choose from. You could buy invitations with a theme, like for an ocean side ceremony, or just beautiful traditional invitations. I chose the beach themed invitations.

In fact everything from invitations to wedding favors were of a beach theme. There were a lot of beach themed wedding decorations to choose from too. I bought quite a few of the lovely gel candles for our reception tables. I really liked the adorable seashell place card holders they had.

There were awesome beach wedding favors to pick from too. I had a hard time deciding between the gorgeous beach tea lights, or the beach themed picture frames. Since, I obviously couldn’t have both, I went with the tea lights. I just couldn’t resist them. I liked them so much, I bought two of them for my house. I even found a lot of accessories for wedding decorating ideas. Like the beautiful flower baskets and ring pillows that went so well with our theme. I even got my veil and tiara from there. In fact, I bought most of our accessories and reception supplies there. There is so much to choose from, and I was able to purchase some of the accessories at wholesale prices. Weddings can run into a lot of money, and having a place like this to shop really helps out financially.

One of the things I found so nice, is the many choices of themed wedding accessories they have. I particularly like the seasonal accessories and decoration ideas. If we were getting married in the winter, I definitely would have gone for the winter wonderland theme. The accessories and supplies for the winter wonderland wedding were exquisite. But since we were getting married in July, I went with my favorite summer theme, the beach. I have to say, it turned out fantastic. The reception was a lot of fun, and my guests were really impressed with the reception and wedding accessories I had chosen. Our wedding cake topper became a topic of discussion. Our bride and groom on the beach cake topper was really cute.

They also thought our beach themed champagne glasses were quite unique. From the cake server set to the centerpieces on all the tables, everything looked fantastic. The favor boxes I chose were especially made for a seashore reception table. I can’t believe I got all of these super accessories and supplies online. And the best part was the great prices. I was really surprised that I found all the items I did while browsing the internet and how easy and convenient it was. They also had accessories and decorations for baby showers as well and it sure would have helped me out if I would have known about it before I gave my friend her baby shower.

I knew I’d have plenty of pictures of the wedding and reception, so I purchased two of their beautiful albums. There were quite a few albums with scrapbooking pages and a special compartment for keepsakes. They have everything you can think of for your wedding and your reception.

There were so many lovely comments about our wedding decor and how nice our reception was. We all had such a wonderful time, dancing and sharing this day together. I felt a little sad when it was time for us to leave the reception. But we had to get to the airport and be on our way to Aruba for our honeymoon. I was really excited about this trip, not just because it was our honeymoon, but I’ve never been to any place like this before. I have a feeling this is the start of many years of excitement and happiness to come.

Cheap wedding party favors

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I put a lot of thought about the theme for our wedding ceremony and reception. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a beach wedding, a garden wedding or a country western wedding. Then I thought maybe I should just stick with the traditional type of ceremony and reception. Then I found out about destination weddings and that one got me thinking. A destination wedding in Vegas or maybe the gorgeous oceanside in Hawaii sounded awesome. I would probably go for the Hawaii destination. But then I thought about all the people that would be disappointed that they couldn’t be there, and I had to toss that idea in the dumpster.
There were other ideas too, like a gorgeous winter theme ceremony. But since we were getting married in the summer months, I didn’t think I should go with a snow scene. I wanted a wedding fit for a king and queen, and what better way to do that then with a storybook wedding. There were plenty of fairy tale accessories and ideas to work with for the perfect story book wedding. I also found a place to get the perfect fairy tale wedding cake for a gorgeous royal wedding. So this was final. I wanted a fairy tale wedding and reception.
I had no problem finding the perfect wedding invitations online. There were also plenty of accessories and supplies to pick out for my storybook wedding. I bought the most beautiful wedding gown I could find at the bridal shop and had my bridesmaids and little flower girl in exquisite floor length dresses, all with tiaras. All of the groomsmen and the ring boy looked so handsome in their tuxes, but the best looking one of all, was my regal prince. I could feel all eyes on me as I walked down the aisle, and half way expected them to bow to their new queen. Everything about our ceremony was exquisite. All of the gorgeous décor only added to the beauty of our ceremony. After the ceremony everyone started shouting and throwing red and white rose petals our way. Instead of a limo, we had a horse drawn carriage waiting outside.
A real castle wouldn’t haved looked as good as our reception hall with all of the fantastic accessories and decorations. I had no problem when it came to the decorations or the wonderful wedding favors I had for our guests. I even found adorable boxes for each and every wedding party favor. I was amazed at all of the themed accessories there were for our fairy tale reception. I decided on little coaches for place card holders and the gorgeous place card holders that looked just like Cinderella coach. I couldn’t have pulled this off without the wonderful accessories they have for fairytale weddings.
Everyone had a fabulous time and I received a lot of compliments on the décor. One of my guests said it was the most beautiful ceremony she’d ever been too. I know I was impressed and it was my wedding. I’m so glad that I chose this theme and found so many accessories to help me make it happen. Since this was a special day in my life, I wanted everything to be special. I made sure their cheap wedding favors were of a storybook theme, just like our wedding cake and other accessories. I felt that a momento of this special day would mean more than any other gift I could give them. A special something to remind them of sharing this very special ceremony with us.
After the honeymoon was over, there was the job of filling out thank you notes for all of our guests. There was even thank you notes available in storybook theme. I wonder if we could do this again for our anniversary?

These are some classy wedding tea favors

Monday, April 13th, 2009

At your wedding shower, wedding favors are a vital piece of the puzzle! Over the years I noticed how much wedding showers changed for the better. Today more thought has been put in the buying of the gifts for the guests. These gifts are a way to say thank you and how much you appreciate them. Today wedding favors and decorations have changed in the way you purchase them. More people are buying and planning their wedding by purchasing there items online. You can also get great wedding ideas by just browsing.

When I was planning my wedding shower I knew that weddings can be very hectic, stressful, and time consuming but also one of the happiest moments of my life. I wanted the perfect wedding favors for my guests. They had to be useful and reasonably priced. To figure out my options I decided to do some research on the web. They had a huge variety of wedding favors. You could choose wedding favors by season, wedding favors by theme, and wedding favors by type. Having so many different wedding favors to choose from was hard because I didn’t know which to pick. I knew the best wedding favors are those that are fun and functional.

In my search I came across coffee and tea favors. I knew that everyone loves coffee and tea. Lately coffee and tea favors have become one of the more popular favors. Plus there is a large selection of tea party favors and supplies to choose from. My search was almost over when I decided to go with coffee and tea favors. My guests would be impressed and at the same time I would be saving money. By giving my guests coffee and tea they would be getting a refreshing drink and a gift that they can enjoy. The party favors are a great way to make your guests feel special and is a great way to say thank you. Your guests will remember your special day and your coffee and tea favors will also add a touch of elegance. Not to mention that they will make the room smell amazing.

It was hard deciding on which coffee and tea favors to get. You don’t have to limit coffee and tea favors to coffee and tea. They have tea infusers, coffee cup candles and much more. I fell in love with all of them and that made my decision even harder on which one to choose. I then realized that all of my guests may not like coffee or tea. This made me make a decision to give out both coffee and tea favors for everyone. I would then let my guests pick their preference. This way they would not end up with a gift they did not like. My decision came to an end when I finally made up my mind to pick tea infusers for the tea lovers and coffee cup candles for the coffee lovers. This way, by giving the coffee and tea favors, I knew that my tables would look gorgeous, and at the same time would make the entire room smell of coffee and tea.

Finally it was the day of my wedding. The tables were set and all the decorations were set up. We could not believe how elegant and inviting the room looked. You felt cozy when you smelled the aroma of coffee and tea in the room. My excitement was so high on way to the reception where our friends and family were waiting. I was so happy to see the excitement on my guests faces when they did arrive. They could not get over how elegant the room looked and the coffee and tea aroma that was in the air.They were amazed at how elegant the room looked and the aroma of coffee and tea that was in the air. Choosing coffee and tea favors was a great idea.

The best wedding collection I’ve ever had!!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Ever since I started my search for a collection set, I’ve probably seen hundreds of them! I browsed through a ton of wedding accessories, all ranging from expensive to cheap in cost. But there is just so much to consider when you’re planning a wedding and reception, that there just doesn’t seem to be enough time. My sister had a great idea that would save me time and money for all of my accessories.
She suggested that I try the internet for wedding supplies and accessories. It’s a good thing I decided to check it out. I found quite a few of my accessories and supplies at prices I could afford.
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.
This was the first I’d ever heard of a collection for wedding accessories. There were unity candles included in some of the sets. There was one wedding collection set that was perfect for themed weddings. There were unique sets for beach themed weddings and gorgeous wedding sets for an Irish wedding too. But we’re having just a simple and traditional ceremony and reception. So I went with a gorgeous white satin that had lovely bows with satin edges.
The wedding accessories and reception items weren’t all that costly. I even found a lot of accessories I could get at a discount. 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. I liked the funny cake toppers the best. My fiance agreed with me that the funny topper I picked out would work great. It depicted the whimsical 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. They even had beautiful aisle runners, as well as flower arrangements and many styles of 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.
Our reception hall was filled with the accessories I bought there. 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. I thought the crystal figurines I bought for our friends and family were a perfect wedding favor. 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. I decided on a white brocade wedding album with a place for keepsakes and scrapbooking pages.] I made sure I had a lot of keepsakes to hang on to and plenty of photos too.
The albums they have online are so lovely, I bought a second one to use strictly for our honeymoon photos. We had such a great time on our honeymoon, and we took lots of pictures for my new album. My sister really knew what she was talking about. She really did know the best place to shop for wedding accessories and reception supplies.
You were a big help, sis.

I like these new Ring Bearer Pillows we got

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

When it came to the flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows and reception supplies, I took my mom’s advice and went shopping online. She said it beats running from store to store and all there is to do is check them out, order the ones I like and wait for delivery. I found everything from invitations to wedding favors, and some items at wholesale prices. Besides the invitations, I got a lot of accessories for the ceremony, at a much lower cost than I expected. I found a lot of my accessories for my bridesmaids, flower girl at a great price and there were unique ring bearer pillow wedding ideas to work with too. I was surprised there could be so many styles and designs for wedding ring pillows.

There were gorgeous table decorations available.There were elegant choices of candles and glassware to enhance my tables. They had a lot of suggestions for themed weddings and even destination weddings, with all kinds of wedding favor ideas. There everything, including favor boxes for beach, winter, garden and other themed weddings. There are beautiful accessories for beach, winter, garden and other themed ceremonies and receptions. 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.

I chose the gorgeous crystal paperweights as the thank you gifts for our friends and families. 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. I found the perfect cake topper. I think I liked the topper better than I did the cake itself. It really was an especially beautiful cake topper with a lovely butterfly and a satin bow.

Our wedding décor and wedding favors seemed to make quite an impression. Some of the guests came up and thanked me for their gifts and told me how beautiful they were. But you know what else was so great about this place, they have a lot more than cake toppers and a wedding ring bearer pillow. They have everything you need for birthdays, showers and bachelorette parties too. I didn’t know it at the time, but I found out that’s where my sister got all of her party supplies and party favors for my bridal shower she threw for me. She said mom had told her about it too.

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’ve already been checking out some of the party favors, but I’m waiting until next week to order them. By that time I’ll know if she is having a boy or a girl. Even though there are a lot of neutral colors I could use, I’d rather try to have the décor and supplies in a boy or girl theme.

I want to thank my mom for pointing me towards this easy way to shop, it saved me a lot of time and money. Filling out our thank you cards and working out all the reception arrangements was another thing I’m grateful for my mom doing for me. Thanks for all of your wonderful suggestions and all of your help, 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. I saw a lot of lovely ideas for my mom and dad’s 30th wedding anniversary. My sister and I should get together and discuss it. It won’t be long before they are celebrating their anniversary, we might as well get an early start on planning.

Bridal Fashion and Accessories!

Wednesday, April 8th, 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. I’m glad I did too, with all they had to offer there was no problem finding everything I needed to plan the perfect wedding and reception. There was everything for our wedding and reception, from invitations to party favors for our wedding guests.

We decided that a lovely theme wedding would be what we would like, and the theme we chose was 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 ordered beach invitations right away so they would be on their way to our friends and family, first thing. Everyone answered with a definite yes, and everyone seemed really excited about sharing this day with us. Now, since the invitations were taken care of, I could concentrate on finding the bridal accessories I want for my wedding. I was surprised at all the accessories they carried for weddings and receptions, and I shop online quite a bit. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. I looked at all the jewelry and found the necklace and earring set I wanted to wear with my wedding dress. It had little pearls and crystals entertwined and gave such a luxurious sparkle to my ensemble.

There was so much in the way of bridal fashion that was absolutely exquisite and the best part was, it wasn’t all that expensive. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. 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. They were all so elegant, they could have been on the cover of a bridal magazine.

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. On the reception tables there were seashells and starfish scattered about and place card holders that were adorable little sailboats. 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 the picture frames I chose were to their liking.

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. Thanks to all the supplies and bridal accessories I had to choose from, our wedding and reception was everything I had hoped it would be. For those that weren’t into seafood, we made sure we had plenty of steaks and chicken for them. We all had a wonderful time enjoying good food and good music to dance too. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

The first thing I had to do when we came home from our honeymoon was get out my wedding guest book I bought online and make out all the thank you notes for the people that shared our wedding day with us. 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.
