What better day for two people to marry than on Valentine’s day? We both wanted a Valentines day wedding. After we picked the church and the place for our reception, I started shopping for what they called the ‘wedding favor love.’ It didn’t take me long to find some very romantic wedding invitations for our ceremony. They were such pretty invitations with little silver hearts linked together on the front. I messed up the writing on a couple of them, I’m so glad my mom suggested I buy extra just in case.
Now that the invitations were on their way, it was time to do some major accessories shopping. I asked my mom to come along on my venture to the bridal shop for my dress and shoes. When she finally stopped tearing up after I tried on a few dresses, she was very helpful. I finally found the wedding gown I was meant to wear and it only took seven or eight shops and 25 or maybe, 30 dress styles to try on. In the meantime, my fiance picked out his tux and so did the groomsmen at the first shop they went to. Since he wasn’t too choosy about his wedding attire, I was a little worried that he’d look more like a pall bearer than a groom. I shouldn’t have been worried, he looked absolutely perfect standing at the altar.
After I took care of everything the wedding party needed, it was time to consider ceremony decorations. Since this was a valentines day wedding, there were lots of gorgeous red roses, ribbons and big velvet bows on each row of pews. The altar was covered in candle light and I found the most beautiful themed unity candle for our ceremony. The church allowed me to have red and pink rose petals tossed down the aisle by our flower girl. There’s a lot of churches that frown on that tradition, but luckily ours isn’t one of them. Everything went off without a hitch and the decorations were as perfect as our wedding ceremony.
I had many more accessories to buy for our wedding reception than I did the ceremony. Our supplies for the reception started with love theme decorations with a love theme and ended up with fall in love favors. I had beautiful red roses all around the room and hearts hanging from the ceiling. On the dance floor just in front of the band was a huge heart made of red and white balloons.
Our tables were so beautiful with all the lovely centerpieces of flowers and a little cupid in each one. Our little place card holders had beautiful little white pearls on them. I also found very decorative favor boxes for the love favors we had for our guests. Some guests were commenting on how lovely the tables were with all the flowers and the lovely favor boxes. Our wedding table looked gorgeous too. Along with our love themed cake serving set were beautiful crystal heart champagne flutes, perfect for the bride and grooms toasting. But I think our three tiered wedding cake outshined everything on our table. For our cake topper I decided on these adorable little love birds. Everything on the wedding table was perfect, starting with our sparkling crystal all the way to the three tiered wedding cake.
Shopping online for all the accessories and supplies made this wedding the perfection of glamour and elegance.
After my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes for our guests. A lot of the guests sent thank you cards saying what a great time they had, and how much they appreciated the love party favors we bought for them. I think that was very thoughtful.
