Lovely 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 the way our ceremony went. 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. There was everything for to pull off the perfect wedding ceremony and reception.

Everything from the lovely invitations to the fantastic party favors for our guests was in their wonderful collection of wedding supplies. The silver print was a lovely touch to our invitations. I also ordered from this fantastic choice of accesssories, the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket, which came as a set. It was a beautiful satin garnet color and included a wedding guest book, pen set and wedding garter. 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 wedding bell favor. 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. There was a marvelous selection of reception accessories to pick 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. The wedding bells favors I picked out not only helped to add the sparkle I wanted for my tables, but served as a wedding favor for each of our guests.

It was hard not to order all they had to offer in the way of accessories but I restrained myself for fear of over decorating. 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 shiny gift boxes added that extra sparkle to our guests tables. On each reception table was a centerpiece I made up of lovely flowers and some very elegant candles.

The wedding cake we had set up at the end of the reception hall was really spectacular. Three tiers of luscious chocolate and cherries with a gorgeous wedding cake topper as the crowning glory. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. 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. 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.

Lovely 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 quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. There were also candy tins that were perfect to set out on the tables for our adult guests and little teddy bear containers with candies for the children’s first communion favors. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.

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. It scares me a little to know that day will get here a lot sooner than I want it to. All she needed was a little bouquet and she would look exactly like a tiny little bride. I guess in a way when you are planning a communion party it’s a little bit like planning a wedding reception. We ordered a cake, had lots of food for everyone and even had a band. We wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. I also bought a girls pink photo album for her to have as her very own with pictures of her first holy communion day and the party with her friends and family. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. 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. We bought our daughter a very lovely gold cross and had her name put on it, and she got some very exquisite gifts from our friends and family too.

All through the party I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was practicing for the day she grows up and gets married. Someday, not too far away, we’ll be filling out invitations and picking out wedding accessories together. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. 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. They carry a lot more than communion favors and accessories for weddings. I hung onto this website because I can use their accessories and decoration selections for birthdays and graduations I’ll be planning in the future. They have accessories for baby showers, bridal showers and some great ideas for a girls night out parties. There are all kinds of themed wedding accessories too, beautiful beach wedding accessories, gorgeous winter wonderland supplies and the perfect items for a big country western wedding and reception. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. That’s why I’m hanging on to my online shopping site, I know I’ll be using it quite often.

Lovely Bridesmaid Gifts!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

All the wedding accessories I checked out were super. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. But when I was looking for the bridesmaid gifts, I couldn’t make up my mind which of the lovely items would be the best. They had a fantastic list of gifts to say thank you to my bridesmaids. My fiance chose exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts on his first look through the selection. He got them all a special little shot glass as their thank you gifts. But I have to revisit the site everyday and check them all out again to try and pick out the best one.

I’d decide on the jewelry boxes and then the lovely bracelet they have would side track me and I’d start considering that. Thank goodness it was much easier picking out our items for the ceremony and reception party. I already had what I wanted, in mind, for those accessories. They had everything I needed for my autumn wedding ceremony. All the bright vibrant colors of fall were in the accessories I chose for our fall wedding and reception. There were even flower girl baskets and ring bearer pillows that came in an autumn motif. I ordered everything from the flower basket to an aisle runner.

There reception ideas for fall accessories were really sensational. 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. I never knew glass coasters could be so lovely as the ones I chose for the wedding favors. It didn’t take much time for me to choose the wedding cake topper I liked the best. I really loved the gorgeous storybook toppers, but I chose a lovely glass heart with our names on it. There was a gorgeous little storybook cake topper I would have chosen if we were having a fairytale theme. I wouldn’t have been able to pass up the castle wedding cake topper. It was truly elegant and would have made the perfect choice for a fairytale theme.

If I had no problems choosing all my accessories and reception supplies, why did I have such a hard time picking a bridesmaids gift? I was even able to get some of our accessories at wholesale prices. There were gifts for bridesmaids 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 low and behold, I did make that decision. My final decision was to give my bridesmaids the jewelry box and the lovely bracelet. I decided my bridesmaids were getting two thank you gifts from us, the jewelry box and the bracelet. Why not, it’s not that expensive and I feel they deserve it.

I was so happy that our wedding day turned out to be so perfect. The wedding ceremony and reception was just a dream come true. Our friends and family really liked the wedding favors they received and made comments on the lovely ceremony we had. The groomsmen gifts and the bridesmaids gifts were a big hit. This day will live in my memory forever.

We got great wedding knife

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. So, now all that was left was to do was decide what theme sounded like the one I’d like to have. 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. You could find anything you needed online for a themed wedding from wedding décor to a beautiful wedding server. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.

Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. Of course the very first thing to do is get the invitations for our friends and family. Then I started choosing all of our decorations and other wedding accessories. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. First I needed to get the decorations I wanted to use in the church. We used satin bows on the end of each pew row and draped a tulle swag from row to row. There were flowers in tall vases placed around the altar and taper candles in fairy tale themed candle holders on each side of our beautiful unity candle.

As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t have dreamed a more perfect fairytale ceremony than the one I had. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. 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.

The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. 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. I really liked the wedding knife and server, so now I wanted to make everything else perfect! 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 chose our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one, as our first bride and groom dance. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. 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.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that fairytales can’t come true, it did for us.

I got Great Brides Accessories

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

When my fiance and I set the date for our wedding, I started planning and shopping for all my accessories and wedding supplies, right away. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. 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 ordered beach invitations right away so they would be on their way to our friends and family, first thing. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. Now, since the invitations were taken care of, I could concentrate on finding the bridal accessories I want for my wedding. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection of wholesale bridal accessories they had to offer. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. The wedding jewelry I found was just as gorgeous as the hair accessories I chose. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It had little pearls and crystals entertwined and gave such a luxurious sparkle to my ensemble.

The quality of the bridal fashion jewelry I saw was fabulous – and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. 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. There were satin summer dresses for my bridesmaids and my flower girl, that had a knee length hemline. 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. 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. I think they all liked the frames as much as I did.

Our wedding table was beautifully set with beach themed champagne flutes, little beach tealights and lovely beach themed candles and holders. 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. 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. We danced, ate tons of seafood, like shrimp, crab, lobster and of course we had other foods for those that didn’t like seafood. We danced to some really great tunes and enjoyed the fantastic foods that were prepared and just had one heck of a beach party. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

After we returned from our honeymoon, I had to get down to writing all the thank you notes to our guests. 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.

Beautiful sweet sixteen ideas..

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My daughter is turning sixteen and I was looking for some unique ideas for her party. A friend of mine said she went online and found a lot of accessories and party favors for her daughters party. So, I figured I’d see what they have. I couldn’t believe all the nice table accessories and party favors that were available. I found a lot of nice stuff I can use for her party. I found these cute little cookie cutters in the shape of the number 16 and use it to make cookies for the party.

Before making any plans, I got her opinion on what she wanted for her party, and it was a party at the roller rink with all the girls sleeping over. I then made reservations at the roller rink in town. Next, came the invitations for all of her closest girl friends. It was a lot cheaper than I figured it would be. They had a great package deal for birthday parties, with pizza, hot dogs and refreshments. I got the house prepared for the party that was to continue after skating. I put out the cookies I had made, along with a few other snacks, and set up birthday decorations.

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. Each of the girls got a disposable camera to take pictures of this evenings event and a pink photo album to store them in. 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.

One of the favors was a cosmetic bag that had each girls initial on the front button. Along with that I also bought compact mirrors and manicure sets that matched their bags. 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 favor and watch her open her presents. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, girlie teen movies for them to watch, so they were good to go for the evening. They turned on some of their music and danced around for a while, then they took out their manicure sets and started to work on nails, and give make overs to each other. From all the noise and laughing you knew they were having the time of their lives.

When the noise starting dwindling down they got out the bowls of popcorn and started watching their movies. 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. That was such a nice thing to ask me to join them. They actually made it through the first two movies before they started nodded off, one by one. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. Just before she closed her eyes, she let me know how much she appreciated her super birthday party.

When I got up in the morning the girls were already downstairs and had eaten, then straightened up everything from the party. 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 ideas I bought for them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

Beautiful summer weddings!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I didn’t have as many problems planning an outside wedding as I thought I would. It turns out that it was a lot cheaper in cost than it would have been to have an indoor wedding. Since we had the flowers and mother nature everywhere, I didn’t have to spend a lot of money on decorations. I checked out a lot of places to have our summer wedding and reception. Instead of having our wedding ceremony and reception on the beach or in a garden, I chose to have it in the park. I found there were several great locations that would work out perfectly for an outdoor wedding.

Since I never planned a wedding like this before, I needed all the help I could get. 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.

In our original wedding preparations, we had a lovely canopy set up for the reception and a lovely trellis for our ceremony. I only had to get decorations for my bridal table and the reception tables for our friends and family. 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. By using artificial flowers I thought we may be able to avoid any univited guests, like bees. You couldn’t tell they were artificial they were so beautiful,they looked like the real deal. The wedding was easier than I originally thought it would be, but there were a lot of things to consider. There are some spectacular summer wedding invitations, but the sun can turn your beautiful wedding cake into a gooey pool of confection.

There was a variety of accessories available for the outdoor reception. As centerpieces for our reception tables I used citronella votive candles and place them in glass globes with flowers around them, and used park bench place card holders for each guest. For each of our guests there were beautiful chrome bottle openers in lovely designed favor boxes, as a summer favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

I found it while browsing online for my other wedding accessories, and fell in love with it. They were especially customized for the bride and groom. They put our faces on our cake topper, and all I had to do was send them a photo of me and my fiance. Talk about the best wedding keepsake you can get. 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 was amazing all the super accessories you can buy online.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. 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. A lot of good things were said about our wedding ceremony and everyone said they had a fantastic time at the reception. I’m so glad I decided to go with a wedding in the park. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.

Beautiful Baby Shower Favor

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. All accessories and decorative stuff I ordered was delivered very fast, after that I started decorating for the party. I had all of my tables set up in a baby oriented décor. 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 prepared snacks for the buffet table and ordered a scrumptious chocolate cake, especially for the mother to be. Especially for my niece, I covered the cake with adorable decorations and colored it with pink icing. I had these really cute baby blocks as the cake topper. I was proud of my cake and the decorations I chose, it looked so perfect.

I found great baby shower favors ideas for all of my guests that were such adorable little baby bootie candles that came in their own decorative boxes. Decorations and accessories isn’t all they have there, I even bought quite a few baby gifts from there too. I ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. I saved money and it was so easy to buy everything I needed online. All I had to do was order what I needed for my baby shower and they had just about everything I needed. I was even able to order a baby bingo game for the party.I bought the bingo game for kids from there too. 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. One of my favorite games was filling baby bottles with a drink and giving one 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. Then each person had to try and match the baby with the adult. Whoever got the most right, wins a baby shower prize. By the way, I also got the baby shower prizes from my favorite online site. I found the cutest picture frames, candles and soaps that I decided would make the perfect little prizes for our games.

You can find so much online for baby showers, weddings and other special events. There is even accessories for graduation and birthday parties as well.

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.

You can find almost any kind of wedding acessories and reception supplies you need there. They have accessories and supplies for many themed weddings too, even for destination weddings. Doing online shopping was one of the best decision I ever made. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for party supplies.

Lovely wedding favor pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding favor pen 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. 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. Too bad we were’nt getting married in December, I think a Christmas wedding would really have been spectacular, with a big Christmas tree and lots of decorations. But the winter wonderland weddings are really spectacular too with all the lovely winter accessories available. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Next I had to get everything together for my beautiful wedding.

First I found the perfect winter wonderland wedding invitations to send to our friends and family. Next, I picked out the accessories for our ceremony, including the ring pillow and flower basket. I was sure I picked out all the accessories I had to have for our winter wedding, but that wasn’t the case. I didn’t remember the wedding 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. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. Since I was looking for the perfect guest book and pen, I decided to choose our photo album too. 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.

Next, I started going through all the reception supplies and decoration ideas they had. 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 absolutely exquitsite. The glassware, gel candles and lovely winter centerpieces I chose really made our tables look spectacular. 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. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. Our cake was five tiers high and covered in sugar snowflakes with blue and red designs of winter. We used a big silver sled design for our wedding cake stand. Everyone thought the sled cake stand was quite a unique idea, but I can’t take the credit for it, my fiance came up with that idea.

Our reception tables all had little snowmen place card holders at each table setting for 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 were the perfect winter addition to the reception tables. 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.

Right professional 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. I made sure I had plenty of extra invitations, just in case I had to rewrite some of them, and it’s a good thing I did. Now that the invitations were in the mail, it was time to find my beautiful beach wedding dress. There were so many options for beach wedding dresses and gowns, that it was a tough decision to make. The full length bridal gowns were so beautiful, but I was afraid they may be too uncomfortable for 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.

My bridesmaids looked so lovely in their haltered beach dresses of cool linen with a crocheted bodice. My handsome groom wore a sky blue linen shirt and white linen pants and his groomsmen wore white linen shirts with sand colored linen pants. Our flower girl wore an adorable little sundress and the ringboy stayed nice and cool in his little khaki shorts and white cotton shirt. Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic and the bouquets were absolutely the most beautiful arrangements I could have found.

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

Everyone thought our reception tables were so beautiful with all the beach themed wedding accessories I had found for them. There were so many other beach themed accessories to choose from, along with our gorgeous wedding album. The little beach chairs I found worked out perfectly as place card holders and they made great little picture frames too. I think our friends and family thought they were cute, I know I did. They also had beach wedding favors that I just had to have for our guests. 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. I not only bought our beach themed wedding cake topper there, but also the cake knife server set, beautiful crystal champagne glasses and lovely wine glasses too.

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. Planning this beach wedding and reception was a lot easier than I thought it would be, with all the accessories and supplies they had. The beautiful ocean whitecaps and the warm sandy beach made the perfect dream wedding and reception location.

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