Choosing From Wedding bells

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

The wedding bells rang, rose petals were being tossed and our friends and family were yelling their congratulations as we left the church for our limo ride to the reception. That’s how it was on our wedding day. 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.

Starting with the invitations and ending with the perfect little thank you gifts, they had it all. The silver print was a lovely touch to our invitations. There was a gorgeous flower girl basket and ring pillow among all the accessories that I decided to buy for our ceremony. 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. I thought that was a great 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 have this thing for shiny things, and I found a lot of crystal glassware, including beautiful champagne flutes for our reception tables. There were twisted stemmed flutes which I ordered for our guests and a special toasting flute set I ordered especially for the bride and groom for our table. 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.

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. Glass coasters was our choice of wedding favor gifts for our guests. They were specially designed with a calla lilie on each one. 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. I purchased flowers and ordered some beautiful candles to make into our centerpieces for the reception tables.

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 really fell in love with the cake topper I bought, with it’s attractive little ribbon made into a bow at the bottom of the heart with calla lilies added. The reception was fantastic, as was the wedding ceremony. We had so many photos of the wedding ceremony and reception that I went back online and ordered a second wedding photo album. We have quite a few pictures of the the cake cutting and sharing of the first piece. There were also pictures of our first dance together as man and wife, our guests on the dance floor and an adorable picture of the flower girl and ring boy dancing together.

Our friends and family told me they had a fantastic time at our reception and that they think I did a spectacular job in planning the wedding décor. Someday I’d like to have a renewal ceremony and reception for our anniversary and thank goodness, my husband agrees.

Choosing 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. So, I checked out a lot of religious shops and even book stores but still couldn’t find anything that seemed just right. So I decided to check online and see what items they may have for our communion party. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. I chose decorative tins filled with candy for the grown ups and the children received candies packaged in adorable little teddy bear containers as their holy communion favors. I decided to get each guest an extra gift and ordered religious photo frames too. I also ordered a couple extra of them for our house, to put my childrens pictures in.

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. Her beautiful dress and veil made her look so much like a miniature bride. I suppose planning a party for her communion isn’t all that different from the someday wedding reception I’ll be helping her to plan. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We didn’t want to lose the fact of the importance of this special day, but we also wanted to make this party a memorable one. 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. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Just a nice dinner to share with our friends and loved ones. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. 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 during the party I was picturing her wedding day and I could see my little girl walking down the aisle to join her husband to be. I know that day is not so far away and we will be sitting down checking out the online selection for wedding favors and accessories. 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 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. I sort of gave the site the once over and checked out some of the items they have, and there is quite a selection for all kinds of events. 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. You can plan a great bridal or baby shower, or have a fantastic girls night out party with all the super accessories and suggestions they have to offer. 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. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. I am sure this online store will come in handy many times over in my household.

Choosing from Bridesmaids Gifts!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

There was an excellent choice of wedding accessories to choose from. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. But with all they had to choose from for bridesmaid gifts, I had a hard time making a final decision. They had so many wonderful suggestion for the bridesmaids thank you gifts. Buying the groomsmen gifts didn’t seem to be half as hard for my fiance. He got them all a special little shot glass as their thank you gifts. With me, I’m on there everyday looking at the selection over and over again, trying to make a decision.

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. I’m glad it wasn’t this difficult choosing my accessories for my wedding and reception. 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. They had everything to go with the fall colors and décor I wanted. They had flower baskets and ring pillows in beautiful fall designs. I ordered everything I needed, including the flower basket and a gorgeous aisle runner.

They have some fantastic fall themed ideas for receptions that I really loved. There were place cards and holders, wedding favor boxes and some of the most beautiful wedding favor gifts I’ve ever seen. Our friends and family are going to love the favors we bought for them. Infact, I liked them so much, I ordered an extra favor for myself as a keepsake. They were some of the prettiest glass coasters you can imagine. It didn’t take much time for me to choose the wedding cake topper I liked the best. I went for the heart made of sparkling glass with which I had our names put on. There was a gorgeous little storybook cake topper I would have chosen if we were having a fairytale theme. I would have been ordering the castle topper for a storybook wedding. It was really special and would have fit right in with a storybook themed wedding.

It was so easy choosing the right accessories for our wedding ceremony and reception, so why is it so hard to pick out a cheap bridesmaid gift? I was even able to get some of our accessories at wholesale prices. Thanks to all the discount offers they had, there were many gifts for bridesmaid to choose from. After a few days I had actually made up my mind to choose between the two I liked the best. It was either going to be the lovely silver jewelry boxes or the exquisite silver bracelet. I had to make my decision, and I tried to hurry with it as fast as I could, but it took a few more days to do so. After a very long debate with myself and a couple of more trips to the wedding accessory site, I made up my mind. I decided to buy both. They were each getting a beautiful silver bracelet and a just as beautiful jewelry box to keep it in. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s not as if they cost us a fortune or anything and my girls deserve the very best.

Thankfully, everything turned out fantastic for our wedding day. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. 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 gifts and the bridesmaids gifts were a big hit. This day was everything I hoped it would be, and then some.

Best 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. All I had to do now, was decide which theme I wanted to go with. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. You could find anything you needed online for a themed wedding from wedding décor to a beautiful wedding server. Even though I found a lot of themed wedding ideas I liked, I chose the fantastic looking fairytale theme.

Once I estabished that I was going with the storybook idea, I started looking for accessories and supplies. Of course the very first thing to do is get the invitations for our friends and family. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. The decorations for the church were the first thing I wanted to get. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. 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.

I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. I couldn’t have dreamed a more perfect fairytale ceremony than the one I had. The flower girl and ring boy did a wonderful job at the wedding ceremony and really looked elegant in their wedding attire. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. 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. Another suggestion was to fill favor boxes with candies for the guests, and I chose little carriage style boxes for everyone.

All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. While shopping for our other reception supplies I found the perfect fairytale cake topper there too. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. I wanted the complete wedding cake server and knife instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. The knife set just added to the décor of our wedding cake and topper.

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. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Just before we left for our honeymoon, some of the guests thanked us for the lovely fairytale wedding favors we gave them.

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

Best Brides 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. 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. Starting with the beautiful invitations I chose, and finishing with the super wedding favors for our friends and family.

We decided that a lovely theme wedding would be what we would like, and the theme we chose was a beach theme. We’ve always lived near the water, even as kids and it has been a favorite place of ours and our friends for years.

I immediately picked out our beach wedding invitations and made sure our potential guests received them promptly. Everyone answered with a definite yes, and everyone seemed really excited about sharing this day with us. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my bridal accessories I would need. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of bridal hair. I 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. I looked at all the jewelry and found the necklace and earring set I wanted to wear with my wedding dress. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.

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

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 the picture frames I chose were to their liking.

Our wedding table was beautifully set with beach themed champagne flutes, little beach tealights and lovely beach themed candles and holders. 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. I’m so glad they had all the supplies and bridal accessories we needed to plan the perfect beach wedding and reception. 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. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.

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. 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.

Perfect 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 figured I’d see what they have. 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.

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 immediately got on the phone and reserved tables at the local roller rink. Next, came the invitations for all of her closest girl friends. It was a lot cheaper than I figured it would be. They offered pizza, hot dogs and soft drinks at a very reasonable price. At home I had everything set up for the party to continue. I put up decorations, fixed a table with a few goodies to snack on, along with the sweet 16 cookies I prepared earlier.

I ordered more than the cookie cutters when I went shopping online. Since this birthday party wasn’t costing me what I thought it would, I decided to order a few sweet sixteen favors for the girls. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. They all knew about the cameras, so they could take pictures at the roller rink, but they had no clue about the albums I bought for them. Even though they took a lot of photos at the roller rink, they all saved some picture taking for the sleepover.

Another party favor was a cosmetic bag with their first initial printed on the front. With the cosmetic bags I bought manicure sets and little purse mirrors to go with it. I bought festive little favor boxes and filled them with candies for each of the girls. As soon as we got home, we celebrated with a sweet sixteen party favor with cake and ice cream and she opened all of her presents. So, with all the other snack foods, soft drinks and the chick flicks we picked up on the way home, they were a bunch of happy campers. 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. You could tell they were all having a fantastic time.

When the noise starting dwindling down they got out the bowls of popcorn and started watching their movies. I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible and just let them have a good time, but they asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with them. I thought that was so sweet of them to ask. They actually made it through the first two movies before they started nodded off, one by one. Now it was down to just me and my daughter and she didn’t make it very long. 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. It was really sweet of the girls to do that. 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 cheap sweet sixteen favors I got them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

Perfect Summer Wedding Favors!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be to plan my outside wedding and reception. It wasn’t as expensive as an indoor wedding would have been. 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. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I found several perfect parks that would work fine for our wedding day.

I wasn’t really sure where to start, so I shopped around for some much needed suggestions. I found out you need to have a plan B, in case inclement weather unexpectly arises. A tent was suggested just in case the weather turns out badly.

In our original wedding preparations, we had a lovely canopy set up for the reception and a lovely trellis for our ceremony. I mainly concentrated on the decorations for our wedding table and the reception tables. About all I needed were a extra flowers and my table settings, thanks to the already present beauty of the park. 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. Although planning wasn’t as difficult a chore as I thought, there were quite a few things to take care of. Even though some summer wedding ideas are fantastic, the heat can totally destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

There was a variety of accessories available for the outdoor reception. Each of our guest had a park bench place card holder and the centerpieces were flowers arranged around a glass globe with citronella votive candles inside. For each of our guests there were beautiful chrome bottle openers in lovely designed favor boxes, as a summer wedding invitation. One of the most decorative things on our wedding table was our gorgeous wedding cake with the beautiful cake topper I ordered.

While shopping for my wedding accessories I saw this topper and couldn’t resist it. They do customizing for the bride and groom. 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? Our friends and family were really loved the cake topper and gave us a lot of compliments on it. Everything I ordered for our ceremony and reception was the best in wedding accessories, especially our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set. It’s unbelievable all the lovely accessories you can purchase from you computer.

Well, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was just as perfect. Thank goodness the weather stayed perfect throughout the entire ceremony and reception and we never had to put plan B into action. We had a wonderful DJ that I’m sure, kept the music going long after we left for our honeymoon. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception we had. The park turned out to be the perfect place to have our wedding and reception. If we should decide somewhere down the line to have a renewal wedding ceremony, I think I’d like to have it in the park again.

Perfect 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 is so many great ideas and a variety of party items to select from. I searched all online stores looking for baby shower favors supplies and decorations. I found great ideas there to work with. I found and ordered all everything I needed for our wedding decorations and right after I got them, I started decorating. All tables was set up with baby in mind. There were little baby buggy favor boxes filled with little candies for each of my guests, and these cute little teddy bear place card holders for each of their names. My guests complimented me on how lovley my tables looked with all the decorations and accessories. I had a buffet set up with all kinds of foods and snacks, and the cake I bought was chocolate, in honor of the mother to be, who is a chocoholic. Especially for my niece, I covered the cake with adorable decorations and colored it with pink icing. The cake topper was fantastic too,with different colored baby blocks. I must say the cake turned out perfect and the decorations were beautiful.

I found great favors for baby shower for all of my guests that were such adorable little baby bootie candles that came in their own decorative boxes. I was really impressed with the supplies I bought, and the cute little baby gifts I bought from there too. Along with a pretty little pink baby photo album, I bought baby blankets and a layette set too. This online buying is the best thing I had ever done before: its easy,convenient and much cheaper. 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 favor idea. We played a lot of games, watched our mother to be open all of her presents and just had an all around wonderful time. 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. Then everyone has to drink from the bottles until someone finishes their drink and wins the prize. 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. Online you can find so many wonderful accessories for almost any party, including graduations and birthdays.

You must wonder how I know about this site for baby showers and their great selection of 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. Getting my accessories online was one of the best ideas I ever had. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for party supplies.

Choosing Wedding Pen Set?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I thought online shopping would be a good idea to get a wedding guest book pen and other reception supplies. It was a good idea, I found all sorts of styles and decorative colors, and I also found different weddings you can choose from. I found some pretty neat ideas I liked for themed weddings and receptions, that I really liked. I thought since we were getting married in January it would be the perfect time for a beautiful winter wonderland wedding and reception party. 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 from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. 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 thought I had everything I needed for the perfect winter wonderland wedding, but I was wrong. The wedding guestbook and wedding pen completely slip my mind. Then I checked out all the winter guest books and wedding pen sets available until I found just the right one for our ceremony. There were snowflakes, hints of blue and perfect little crystals on the cover of our winter wedding guestbook. 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. I couldn’t believe all the gorgeous wedding albums you could get, there were even anniversary albums to choose from. I’ll have to remember this site so I can come back in a few years for my anniversary album.

Now I was ready to move on to the supplies and decorations I needed for our wedding reception. 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 have such beautiful wedding stemware. With all the beautiful crystal champagne flutes, the gel candles and the exceptional looking centerpieces I picked out, our reception tables were simply elegant. Another great thing about the place I got all my wedding accessories and reception supplies is that they had quite a few items at discount prices, which really helps a couple just starting out. It’s hard to believe we could get accessories so reasonably priced when they looked so very expensive.

They also had the most adorable wedding cake toppers to choose from. Our cake topper showed a bride and groom in a whimsical winter activity. Our wedding cake was a five tiered with white sugar snowflakes and winter designs of icy blue and reds. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. Our sled cake stand got a lot of compliments from our friends and family and I had to thank my fiance for that creative suggestion.

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. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. 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. I’m so glad everything turned out so perfect, and I owe it to the great help I got from online shopping. All of their decorating ideas and selections really helped me with so much of the planning.

Choosing wedding album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Once we decided on a beach wedding, I started looking for all my accessories and supplies they had in a beach motif. First things first, I bought 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. With all the selections of beautiful beach dresses and wedding gowns, I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to wear. 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.

Linen beach dresses with a crocheted halter covering was what I chose for my bridesmaids. 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. Our flower girl wore an adorable little sundress and the ringboy stayed nice and cool in his little khaki shorts and white cotton shirt. All of the wedding party looked great in their wedding attire and the flower arrangements for our bouquets were the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen.

With all the pictures I wanted taken of our wedding ceremony and reception, maybe I should have bought two personalized wedding albums. I expect photos of every person here and everything at our wedding including our reception and the beautiful beach décor. 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. Directly after the ceremony we left to change into more suitable beach wear for the reception party. Although a few of our wedding party went home to change into their beach clothes, there were some that decided to just wear their swimsuits under their wedding clothes. We told all of our guests to dress casually.

Our reception was such a big success, and everyone complimented us on our gorgeous wedding accessories and how lovely all of our tables were. The place I shopped not only had the beach wedding album I wanted, but so many more accessories to go with it. The place card holders I chose were these miniature beach chairs that can later be used as photo frames. I really liked them and I’m sure our guests did too. They also had beach wedding favors that I just had to have for our guests. The little tea lights I chose were in the shape of miniature sand castles and to help them keep the memory of our wonderful beach reception. I found everything we needed, as far as accessories and decorations, for our wedding table and our guests reception tables. Not only did I find the perfect wedding cake topper, but I also bought their beach themed crystal flutes, wine glasses, cake serving set and so much more.

A lot of our friends and family made comments about out lovely reception décor. I added some tiki torches everywhere and put gel candles on all of our guests wedding reception tables to help add a touch of atmosphere to everything. With all the accessories and supplies for the wedding and beach party reception, it made planning so much easier. The beautiful ocean whitecaps and the warm sandy beach made the perfect dream wedding and reception location.

Now I sit here and relive that wonderful day by enjoying all the photos I have in our beautiful beach leather wedding album.
