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.
