The wedding bells !!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

You could hear the wedding bells ring as we headed for our limo, with our guests yelling their good wishes and tossing rose petals our way. That’s how it was on our wedding day. I have to say, it was a fantastic ceremony too, and with all the help I got on accessory suggestions, it wasn’t hard to put it all together. 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. 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. A five piece wedding set that wasn’t very expensive at all.

There were a lot of other items I ordered too, like my lovely aisle runner for the church ceremony. I’m really glad we went with bell wedding. 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 to make our reception tables sparkle, so I ordered as much crystal as I could get away with, starting with crystal champagne flutes. I ordered special flutes for us that said bride and groom on them, and beautiful twisted stemmed flutes for all of our guests. Wedding bell favors 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. We gave out glass coasters as wedding favors for our friends and family. They had a lovely calla lilie design on them that was absolutely beautiful. I put the wedding favors in little silver party favor boxes that came with thank you cards for each of them. The silver favor boxes, along with all the other accessories on the tables, really added to the décor. On each reception table was a centerpiece I made up of lovely flowers and some very elegant candles.

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 decided on a beautiful heart with calla lilies and ribbon as our cake topper. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. I had to go back online where I bought our wedding album and puchase a second album for all the pictures that were taken at the wedding and reception. We have quite a few pictures of the the cake cutting and sharing of the first piece. I have pictures of our friends and family, the ring boy and flower girl on the dance floor together and our first dance as husband and wife.

I’m so glad everyone had such a wonderful time, and I received so many compliments on the decorations of the wedding and reception. Someday I’d like to have a renewal ceremony and reception for our anniversary and thank goodness, my husband agrees.

The communion favors!!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Our daughter made her first holy communion last week and we had a small party for her special day. 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. So I hit the internet in search of the right favors for her party. There were a lot of religious themed items that I chose for the tables, like these beautiful cross decorated votive candles. The teddy bears filled with candy were the communion party favors for the kids, and I picked out candies in pretty little tins for the adults. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.

The day we went shopping for her communion dress I couldn’t help but think of the day when we’ll be shopping for her wedding gown. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. Her beautiful dress and veil made her look so much like a miniature bride. I guess a wedding reception and communion party isn’t all that much different. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We tried to keep things as simple as possible but at the same time show her how proud we were of her and make this a day she’ll never forget. With all the pictures we took at her communion party, I’m so glad we decided to make the pink photo album an extra little communion gift for her. 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. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Our family and some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful afternoon with us. This party really meant a lot to our daughter and all of us had such a lovely time. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.

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 communion party 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. 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. If you are planning a bachelorette party, or a shower for a bride to be, or maybe you want to throw a baby shower for a close friend or family member, if so, this is the place to find all of your accessories. 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. You will also find great selections of themed shower accessories, special birthday party themes and a lot of more choices for the kind of party you plan to have. That’s why I’m hanging on to my online shopping site, I know I’ll be using it quite often.

The bridesmaid gifts!!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

All the wedding accessories I checked out were super. 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. My fiance had no problem finding exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts. He just went online, found these really unique shot glasses for the guys and that was it. But I must have gone over this selection of gifts a hundred times and still couldn’t make a choice.

At first I chose the jewelry boxes, then as soon as I spotted the bracelets, I’d change my mind and decide on ordering that. 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. There were many fantastic accessories I ordered for my wedding and reception with a fall theme. All the accessories had the lovely autumn colors to add to the fall motif. I chose my flower basket and ring bearer pillow that were made for the perfect fall wedding. I ordered everything I needed, including the flower basket and a gorgeous aisle runner.

For our reception there were so many great suggestions and designs for fall accessories. Not only were there lovely place card holders, but really exquisite wedding favors and boxes for packaging them in. I know our friends and family will really be impressed with their party favors we got 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. Even though my first choice would have been the fairytale topper, I chose an exquisite heart with our names added. There was a gorgeous little storybook cake topper I would have chosen if we were having a fairytale theme. I simply fell in love with the castle topper. It was truly elegant and would have made the perfect choice for a fairytale theme.

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. There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. There were cheap bridesmaid gifts 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. 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. Each of my bridesmaids were getting a silver jewelry box and a silver bracelet as my thank you gift. 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.

Thankfully, everything turned out fantastic for our wedding day. The wedding ceremony and reception was just a dream come true. I got a lot of compliments on our fall wedding décor and our guests seemed to like the wedding favors we chose for them. The groomsmen liked the shot glasses and my girls said they loved the bridesmaids gifts we had for them too. This was the best day of my life.

The wedding cake 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. It sounded like a lot of fun to have a country western themed wedding. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake knife to match every theme. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. First I ordered the lovely wedding invitations for our wedding guests. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. 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.

As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. 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. After the ceremony we didn’t leave in a limo, we left the church in a horse drawn carriage the same way Cinderella and Prince Charming did in the fairytale.

With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. I found these very exquisite castles to use as place card holders on the reception tables. I filled adorable carriage designed favor boxes with little candies for each place setting at the reception.

Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. I found the most exquisite storybook wedding cake topper for our reception at the same place I bought all our other reception supplies. Even the fairytale wedding knife they had was special with it’s lovely styled handle. The wedding knife server was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! Our wedding cake and topper were complimented by the lovely knife set next to it.

We danced our wedding dance right after the best man said a few words and toasted to our happiness. We danced to our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. With all the photos that were taken, my storybook wedding album will be filled with memories in no time. 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.

The 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. I’m an online shopaholic, so, my first course of action was to hit the web. 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. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.

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 discount bridal accessories. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. 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 an amazing bridal accessory display that was so beautiful and even reasonable in price. I ordered some things for our honeymoon too. A short wedding dress would have probably been the wiser choice, since we were getting married on the beach, but I had to have my full length dress. 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.

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. I didn’t want to give our guests some useless wedding favor that would be stuck in a drawer and forgotten, so we gave them beach themed picture frames as thank you gifts. Everyone seemed to like the gifts they received.

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. Our topper was a bride and groom taking a walk 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. We danced, ate tons of seafood, like shrimp, crab, lobster and of course we had other foods for those that didn’t like seafood. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

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.

favors for sweet sixteen!!

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.

Since it was her birthday, I let her decide what she wanted and she decided to party at the roller rink and have her friends stay overnight. I immediately got on the phone and reserved tables at the local roller rink. Then I invited all of her best girl friends. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. They offered pizza, hot dogs and soft drinks at a very reasonable price. The party was to continue at our house after the skating, so I had to get everything ready. I decorated the house with birthday accessories,laid out snacks and put my sweet 16 cookies, I made, on the tables.

The cookie cutters wasn’t the only thing I ordered online. Since I was getting by so cheap with this party, I ordered extra gifts from the selection of sweet sixteen favors for her and her friends. 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. Even though they took a lot of photos at the roller rink, they all saved some picture taking for the sleepover.

I also bought each of them little cosmetic bags with their initials on the front. With the cosmetic bags I bought manicure sets and little purse mirrors to go with it. I also sat out these adorable little favor boxes I bought online that were filled with candies for each guest. As soon as we got home, we celebrated with a sweet sixteen party with cake and ice cream and she opened all of 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. They danced for a while, then they gave each other manicures with their new sets, and of course, they did the make up thing. 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. 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. All that was left was my daughter and I, at least for a few minutes. 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. 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.

Summer wedding favor!!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to plan my outside wedding and reception. 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. The first thing on my agenda was to find that perfect place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. 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. 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. So we arranged to have a tent set up to move the ceremony into if necessary, just as a precaution.

We had canopies arranged for our reception and barring bad weather, planned to be wed under a lovely trellis. The only real decorations I needed were those for my wedding table and the guests reception tables. With the park as our main theme, I basically had to make sure I had our table settings and maybe throw in a few extra bouquets of flowers. I thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. The only way you could tell that the flowers were artificial, was by touch, they were beautiful. Planning this wedding wasn’t all that hard, but there was a little more than I expected. 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.

As far as table décor, I found so many fantastic accessories for our 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 favor. The most beautiful part of our wedding table was our cake with it’s gorgeous wedding cake topper.

I saw this cake topper when I was checking out all the wedding accessories they had to offer, and I knew this was the topper I wanted. 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. How could I ask for a better wedding keepsake than that? Everyone at the reception had something to say about how unique it was. Everything I ordered for our ceremony and reception was the best in wedding accessories, especially our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set. You wouldn’t believe all the nice accessories you can buy online.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. Plan B never had to be used, since the weather was so beautiful, and thankfully it remained that way through the whole evening. We had a wonderful DJ that I’m sure, kept the music going long after we left for our honeymoon. A lot of good things were said about our wedding ceremony and everyone said they had a fantastic time at the reception. I couldn’t have picked a better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception party. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.

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 turned on my computer and started ordering supplies online as I did for my wedding accessories. There is so many great ideas and a variety of party items to select from. 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. I managed have everything set up as baby oriented. 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 decorative accessories, which I bought online, looked really great and my guests were impressed with the way everything looked. In honor of the mother to be, I ordered a chocolate cake and of course set up a buffet with different kind of snacks and candies. I had the cake covered with pink icing and little cake decorations, in honor of my niece to be. 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.

Everyone liked the little baby bootie candles I had for baby shower party 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 found such adorable little gifts, like the picture album, baby blankets, and layette sets, that I bought for the baby. This online buying is the best thing I had ever done before: its easy,convenient and much cheaper. There was everything I needed in baby shower supplies for the perfect party, and I only had to place my order. I found the cutest little bingo game that was perfect for the party. This is where you can find really great accessories for your baby shower.

We had such a great time and everyone seemed happy with their baby shower party favor. We played games, the mother to be opened presents and we all really enjoyed ourselves. 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. Their job was to try to match the baby picture with the adult. Whichever guest had the most matches won the game. By the way, I also got the baby shower prizes from my favorite online site. There were adorable little candles, fragrant scented soaps and adorable picture frames as prizes.

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.

How did I know about this site and all the wonderful selection of items they have for baby showers and other party supplies? Well, I saw all they had when I ordered my accessories and decorations for my wedding.

They’ve got some great wedding supplies, for almost any type of wedding and reception you can imagine. 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. If I ever need party supplies again, I’ll know where to go.

Gorgeous wedding favor pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding pen set for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! There were tons of wedding themes you could choose from, as well as styles and colors of decorations and accessories. They had a lot of themes for weddings and receptions that you could choose from, that I really liked. Our wedding date is set for January, so I was thinking about having a winter wonderland ceremony and reception. When I think of a Christmas wedding ceremony, with a tree and decorations, I almost which we had chosen December as our wedding date. But the winter wonderland weddings are really spectacular too with all the lovely winter accessories available. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Now I had to get started with all my wedding plans.

They had the prettiest winter wonderland invitations for our guests. Then I went for all the winter accessories for our wedding ceremony, from flower girl basket to ring boy pillow. I was thinking I had everything for our winter wedding I could possibly need, but I found out that I had forgotten something. I forgot all about the wedding guest book and wedding pen! 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. Not only did they have a great selection of wedding albums, but some pretty nice anniversary albums too. I’ll have to remember this site so I can come back in a few years for my anniversary album.

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 were so fantastic looking. 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. I was surprised at what little we paid for such exquisite accessories.

They also had the most adorable wedding cake toppers to choose from. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. We had a gorgeous five tiered winter wedding cake with sugar snowflakes along with icy blue and red winter designs. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. Our guests were really impressed with the silver sled cake stand idea that my fiance thought of.

We had snowmen place card holders on the reception tables for all of our guests. We gave our guests little snowflake gel candles as wedding favor thank you gifts. 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 wedding 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.

Gorgeous wedding album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I started shopping for my themed accessories and supplies as soon as we were sure we were having a beach wedding. I started with 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. I looked at several dresses and gorgeous full length gowns, but really couldn’t make up my mind. The full length bridal gowns were so beautiful, but I was afraid they may be too uncomfortable for 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.

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.

With all the pictures I wanted taken of our wedding ceremony and reception, maybe I should have bought two wedding photo albums. I want pictures of everything and everyone at our wedding, all the gorgeous decorations, and our lovely reception. 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. In fact a few of the bridesmaids and groomsmen also left to change, while others just wore swim suits under their wedding attire. The guests were informed on the invitations to wear casual clothing.

Our reception was such a big success, and everyone complimented us on our gorgeous wedding accessories and how lovely all of our tables were. I bought everything for our tables at the same place I bought our lovely beach themed wedding album. The little beach chairs I found worked out perfectly as place card holders and they made great little picture frames too. 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. I chose adorable tea lights that looked just like sand castles to remind them of our beach party. There was so many terrific accessories and beach décor for our reception tables and our wedding table. They had the perfect crystal stemware, serving set for the wedding cake, wine glasses and a gorgeous beach themed cake topper.

There were a lot of nice comments made by our guests on how lovely everything looked. 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. Planning this beach wedding and reception was a lot easier than I thought it would be, with all the accessories and supplies they had. 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 sit here and relive that wonderful day by enjoying all the photos I have in our beautiful beach the wedding album.
