We got some great wedding bell favor

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. The wedding ceremony was so beautiful and everything turned out just like I wanted it, thanks to all the super accessories I was able to get. With all the exceptional accessories and supplies at my disposal there was no way this wedding and reception wouldn’t be a success.

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. 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.

I also picked out an aisle runner along with other accessories for our wedding. I’m really glad we went with wedding bell favor. After we were pronounced man and wife, everyone at the ceremony rang their little bells as we walked back down the aisle. I really liked the idea of the bell ringing.

I bought accessories online for our reception as well as our ceremony. There were all kinds of wonderful ideas for our wedding reception. I have this thing for shiny things, and I found a lot of crystal glassware, including beautiful champagne flutes for our reception tables. I ordered special flutes for us that said bride and groom on them, and beautiful twisted stemmed flutes for all of our guests. As an extra wedding favor for our friends and family I decided to choose wedding silver bells.

I could have bought every gorgeous item they had on their list, but I think I would have been overdoing it just a little. We gave out glass coasters as wedding favors for our friends and family. 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 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.

The wedding cake we had set up at the end of the reception hall was really spectacular. Chocolate and cherries three tiers high with a very lovely cake topper resting on top. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. The reception was fantastic, as was the wedding ceremony. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. There were several pictures of us cutting the wedding cake and feeding that first piece to each other. 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. 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.

I got some great Communion Party Favors!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to give out communion favors that would have a religious theme to them. Religious shops didn’t have exactly what I was looking for, especially in my price range. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. The teddy bears filled with candy were the first communion 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.

Shopping for her communion dress was like a rehearsal for the future. I know that before long she’ll be walking down the aisle on her wedding day. 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 wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. 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. 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. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. Just a nice dinner to share with our friends and loved ones. We all had such a wonderful time and it was a very lovely party. 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. 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. 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 communion party 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. There is even more than communions and weddings to check out too. This online shopping spot will come in handy in the future when I have to plan for birthdays, graduations and other important events. 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. There were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. 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.

We got some nice Bridesmaid Gift!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. I purchased almost all of the wedding and reception supplies from them. But when it came to the bridesmaid gifts, I just couldn’t decide on which one I wanted to order. There were so many lovely ideas for thank you gifts for the bridesmaids. Buying the groomsmen gifts didn’t seem to be half as hard for my fiance. He found some very nice shot glasses he liked and that was what he chose to buy for the guys. But I have to revisit the site everyday and check them all out again to try and pick out the best one.

I thought about ordering the beautiful jewelry boxes they have to offer, then I would see the gorgeous bracelet and start thinking about that gift. 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. I got all the bridal accessories I needed for our lovely fall themed wedding. All the bright vibrant colors of fall were in the accessories I chose for our fall wedding and reception. 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.

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. 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. I never knew glass coasters could be so lovely as the ones I chose for the wedding favors. When I chose our cake topper, it didn’t take me near as long as it did for all the other accessories. I went for the heart made of sparkling glass with which I had our names put on. If I were having a fairytale wedding though, I know exactly which topper I would have chosen. I would have been ordering the castle topper for a storybook wedding. 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 bridesmaid gift idea? They even had discount prices for a lot of accessories and gifts. You could even find gifts for bridesmaid that you could pick up at a discount. After a while I shortened my list of possiblities 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 I did finally decided on what I was going to do. 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.

Our wedding day was all I had hoped it would be. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely filled with all the romance and beauty any bride could have wanted, and we all had a wonderful time at the reception. Our friends and family really liked the wedding favors they received and made comments on the lovely ceremony we had. The guys loved the shot glasses and my bridesmaid gifts were a success too. This day will live in my memory forever.

Cheap Wedding knife set!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

A themed wedding ceremony and reception sounded like the best among several wedding ideas I checked out. 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 even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could swim, party on the beach and enjoy a lovely sunset. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. There were all kinds of accessories and supplies for themed weddings, from decorations to a gorgeous wedding cake knife. 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. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted to have a Cinderella atmosphere to the whole thing. 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. 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.

We had a beautiful wedding guestbook in the front hall of the church which our friends and family all signed when they came in. 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. 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. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. 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. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. They have everything where I bought our reception supplies, even the perfect wedding cake topper in a storybook theme for our gorgeous cake. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. The wedding knife set was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! The set made a nice addition to the wedding cake and topper decoration.

We danced our wedding dance right after the best man said a few words and toasted to our happiness. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. There were so many photographs taken at the wedding and reception, I’m so glad I bought my fairytale wedding album for all these memories. 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.

Cheap 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 a dedicated online shopper and so, of course, that’s the first place I went to find what I needed. 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. From invitations to fantastic wedding favors gifts for our guests, they had it all.

To start with we decided that we wanted to have a theme wedding and we agreed to make it a beach themed wedding and reception. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.

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. My bridal accessories were the next thing on my wedding list that I would need. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of bridal hair. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. 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 so much in the way of a bride accessory that was absolutely exquisite, and the best part was, it wasn’t all that expensive. I also bought a few items I can use while on our honeymoon. 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. They were all so elegant, they could have been on the cover of a bridal magazine.

There were tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. The wedding favors I chose were lovely photo frames with a beach design, because I thought they were so pretty and I know that’s something that they can always use. 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. 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. 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. We danced to some really great tunes and enjoyed the fantastic foods that were prepared and just had one heck of a beach party. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.

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. Whenever I want to remember my wedding day, I’ll take out my beach themed photo album and look at all the pictures we had taken.

Choosing affordable sweet sixteen

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I was planning a birthday party for my daughter, who was turning sixteen and needed some suggestions. My friend found quite a few party accessories and supplies online for her daughters celebration. So, I figured I’d see what they have. I couldn’t believe all the nice table accessories and party favors that were available. There were a lot of accessories I found that would be perfect 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 immediately got on the phone and reserved tables at the local roller rink. Then I invited all of her best girl friends. It was a lot cheaper than I figured it would be. Refreshments, pizza and hot dogs were also part of the package, and didn’t cost very much at all. I got the house prepared for the party that was to continue after skating. I put up decorations, fixed a table with a few goodies to snack on, along with the sweet 16 cookies I prepared earlier.

The cookie cutters wasn’t the only thing I ordered online. Since I saved money on the roller rink deal, I decided it would be nice to get the girls a few sweet sixteen favors. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. I gave them the cameras before we left for the roller rink, but they had no idea about the albums until later. 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.

Another party favor was a cosmetic bag with their first initial printed on the front. The cosmetic bags were just the beginning, I also bought manicure sets and purse mirrors for each of the girls. I bought festive little favor boxes and filled them with candies for each of the girls. 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 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.

When the noise starting dwindling down they got out the bowls of popcorn and started watching their movies. I wanted to give them as much space as I could and not intrude on their girl time, but I got an invitation to join them for a movie. I thought that was so sweet of them to ask. 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. Just before she closed her eyes, she let me know how much she appreciated her super birthday party.

They ate breakfast and cleaned up everything left from the birthday party before I even got out of bed. It was really sweet of the girls to do that. They hung around with my daughter for a couple of hours, then the kids started heading for home. They told me they had a super time and they thought the cheap sweet sixteen favors were really cool. It’s really neat being considered a cool mom.

Choosing a summer wedding favor?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I didn’t have as many problems planning an outside wedding as I thought I would. It wasn’t as expensive as an indoor wedding would have been. Since we had the beauty of nature all around us, it wasn’t too expensive to decorate. The first thing I had to do was to find the perfect location 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 was surprised at all the parks available for weddings.

I decided to go online and get some expert advice on how to plan the perfect outdoor wedding. 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 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. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and didn’t look artificial at all. Planning this wedding wasn’t all that hard, but there was a little more than I expected. You have to make sure your cake is safe from the summer sun, make sure you have citronella candles at your reception and that your tent has nearby rest room areas. [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 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 customized toppers for the wedding couple. After I sent them a head shot of my fiance and myself they made our bride and groom topper to look exactly like us. What a wonderful momento of our wedding day. Our friends and family were really loved the cake topper and gave us a lot of compliments on it. Our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set was just a few of the fantastic accessories I ordered for our ceremony and reception. You wouldn’t believe all the nice accessories you can buy online.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. The weather cooperated and we never had to go to plan “B” with the tents. We all loved the super DJ and the fantastic job he was doing, and if I’m right, he probably kept the music and dancing going on for quite a while after we left to go on our honeymoon. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception we had. I’m so glad I decided to go with a wedding in the park. If we celebrate one of our anniversaries with a wedding renewal, I want to have it in a gorgeous park again.

Choosing from 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. There was quite a few great suggestions to work with. I found and ordered all everything I needed for our wedding decorations and right after I got them, I started decorating. I managed have everything set up as baby oriented. My every baby guest had his own cute baby box filled wuth candies and one adorable teddy bear card holder with his name on the card. My guests complimented me on how lovley my tables looked with all the decorations and accessories. 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. 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.

Everyone liked the little baby bootie candles I had for favors for baby shower, 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 ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. One of the best things about buying online is that it’s so easy and convenient, not to mention the money I saved. They had almost everything I needed to throw a fantastic baby shower and all I had to do was order it all. There was also a game of baby bingo that I ordered for the party. Believe me there is no other place I’d rather go for my party supplies.

We had so much fun with the games and everything, and my guests seemed to like the baby shower favor I got for them. We played a lot of games, watched our mother to be open all of her presents and just had an all around wonderful time. One of my favorite games was filling baby bottles with a drink and giving one to each guest. Then everyone has to drink from the bottles until someone finishes their drink and wins the prize. Everyone gave me a picture of themselves when they were babies and I pinned all onto a 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. Some of the prizes were things like candles, scented soaps and picture frames.

You can find so much online for baby showers, weddings and other special events. 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? The reason is because this is the fantastic place I shopped for all of my wedding accessories and wedding reception supplies.

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

I got the best wedding pen set..

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I thought online shopping would be a good idea to get a wedding guest book and pen and other reception supplies. I was right – there were so many options, not just on styles and colors but on weddings as well! There were a lot of choices I was rather captured by, as far as themes for weddings and receptions. Our wedding date is set for January, so I was thinking about having a winter wonderland ceremony and reception. 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 thought I had everything I needed for the perfect winter wonderland wedding, but I was wrong. 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. 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. 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 planned to keep this in mind for future references.

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. Our reception tables were absolutely exquisite with all the crystal, candles and centerpieces I picked out. 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. I was surprised at what little we paid for such exquisite accessories.

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. 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. 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. I also chose wedding favors that were little snowflake gel candles for our guests. 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 added to the winter décor of the reception tables. The wedding pen holders 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. It really helped out a lot with the planning and decorating.

I got the best Wedding Album!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

After it was decided that we were going to have a beach wedding, I went shopping for accessories and supplies with a beach theme in mind. 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. After I got the invitations out of the way, my next step was finding the right dress for a beach wedding. With all the selections of beautiful beach dresses and wedding gowns, I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to wear. I was unsure about the two full length wedding gowns I found, I didn’t want to be uncomfortable at my beach wedding. So, even though I loved the gowns, I chose a lightweight knee length beaded satin dress with a gorgeous lace covering and spaghetti straps.

My bridesmaids looked so lovely in their haltered beach dresses of cool linen with a crocheted bodice. My fiance’s wedding attire consisted of a blue shirt and white pants made of linen, and his groomsmen were also dressed in linen, with white shirts and sandy colored 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. I found the most lovely flower bouquets for the bridesmaids and myself, and the entire wedding party looked absolutely perfect.

I kept thinking how I should have bought two albums for wedding, because I wanted lots of pictures of our wonderful beach wedding and reception. I want pictures of everything and everyone at our wedding, all the gorgeous decorations, and our lovely reception. 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. After we were pronounced husband and wife, we left for the hotel to change from our wedding attire to our beach attire. 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. 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 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. We bought them little tea lights in the shape of sand castles to represent our oceanside reception. 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. It couldn’t have been a more perfect dream wedding and reception, with the gorgeous ocean as our background and the warm sand under our feet.

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