Terrific Wedding Bell Favor!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

There was the sound of wedding bells, the tossing of rose petals, and the traditional run for the limo while friends and family cheered us on. That’s how it was on our wedding day. There was such a wonderful collection of accessories to help plan our wedding and make our ceremony so perfect. We had the best in wedding accessories and reception supplies to make it all a dream come true.

From the wedding invitations to the wedding favors for our guests, they had everything. The silver print was a lovely touch to our invitations. I found a lovely ring pillow and flower basket set that I also ordered from them. It came in a beautiful garnet, and there was also a guestbook and pen set, and a very lovely wedding garter. All five pieces of wedding accessories at a very reasonable price.

They also had an aisle runner I really liked, so I ordered that to my list of wedding supplies. 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. It was really a unique idea.

I didn’t just order things for my ceremony, I also ordered everything I needed for our reception too. 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. I chose the bride and groom toasting set for us and champagne flutes with elegant twisted stems for our friends and family. As an extra wedding favor for our friends and family I decided to choose wedding silver bells.

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. I did order some very nice wedding favors for our guests that were lovely glass table coasters. They were specially designed with a calla lilie on each one. I also chose these very elegant looking favor boxes with a little thank you tag on them, for the wedding favors. The wedding favors in their little silver boxes made our tables even more elegant. There were also some very unique centerpieces on our reception tables, made up of flowers and candles, that I bought online.

On a smaller table at the of our long table, was our fantastically designed wedding cake. A beautiful wedding topper sat on top of our chocolate cherry three tiered wedding cake. 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. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. We had so many photos of the wedding ceremony and reception that I went back online and ordered a second wedding photo album. There were so many shots of us with our wedding cake and the traditional cutting and sharing of the very first piece. There is the most adorable picture of our little flower girl dancing with the very elegant ring boy, our bride and grooms first dance together, and all of our guests having a great time on the dance floor.

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.

Terrific Communion Party Favors!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to find communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual touch to them. 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. 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 first communion favors. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. I also ordered a couple extra of them for our house, to put my childrens pictures in.

It was almost like we were looking for her wedding dress, instead of a dress for her communion. I know that before long she’ll be walking down the aisle on her wedding day. 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 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 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 she’s ready to start planning her wedding and reception, I’ll know the perfect place for her to go shopping. Not only do they have a fantastic communion favor section, but they have pretty nice wedding supplies too. She’ll have plenty of accessories and wedding favors to choose from at my favorite online shopping site. 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.

Terrific bridesmaid gifts

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. 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. With me, I’m on there everyday looking at the selection over and over again, trying to make a decision.

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. There were many fantastic accessories I ordered for my wedding and reception with a fall theme. 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. We had 200 guests and I ordered 201 wedding favors, because I liked them so much, I thought it would make a great keepsake to add with my other momentos. I never knew glass coasters could be so lovely as the ones I chose for the wedding favors. I also bought our wedding cake topper from there and had no problem picking out the one 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 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.

I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time picking out a nice bridesmaid gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. I was even able to get some of our accessories at wholesale prices. There were bridesmaid gift ideas 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. It was either going to be the lovely silver jewelry boxes or the exquisite silver bracelet. Even though I had it narrowed down to only two items, it still took me a little longer to make that final decision. But I did finally decided on what I was going to do. The conclusion to this problem was simple, I’ll give them both as wedding gifts. Each of my bridesmaids were getting a silver jewelry box and a silver bracelet as my thank you gift. I think my bridesmaids are worth the extra gift, and it wasn’t all that expensive either.

Thankfully, everything turned out fantastic for our wedding day. 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. 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 was the best day of my life.

Terrific wedding knife and server!

Monday, April 27th, 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. The country western theme seemed like it would be lots of fun. I pictured a reception party barn dance for our wedding day. Then there was the seasonal wedding themes, and since we were getting married in the summer, I thought about a beach wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. There were a lot of themed weddings and receptions to consider. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding server set to match every theme. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Once I estabished that I was going with the storybook idea, I started looking for accessories and supplies. 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 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. Our unity candle had tapered candles in storybook holders on each side of our storybook unity candle, and several flowers in vases placed around the altar.

I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. This was the most beautiful storybook wedding ceremony I could have ever wished for. 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.

The reception hall was really beautiful with all the lovely flowers everywhere and the lovely tables all set up with crystal and silver. Crystal champagne flutes with stems decorated with a fairytale design was placed on all the tables. I found these very exquisite castles to use as place card holders on the reception tables. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

Even though all of our reception tables were gorgeous, our wedding table was the most breathtaking. It was a table fit for a king and his queen. 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. I wanted the complete wedding knife set 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.

As soon as the bridal toast and the best man’s speech was over, my husband and I had our first dance as husband and wife. 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. 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.

Terrific Wedding Bridal Accessories

Monday, April 27th, 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. I’m an online shopaholic, so, my first course of action was to hit the web. 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.

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. 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 wedding bridal accessories they had to offer. The first thing ordered was the exquisite hair comb and tiara to wear on my wedding day. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. I looked at all the jewelry and found the necklace and earring set I wanted to wear with my wedding dress. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.

There was an amazing bride accessory display that was so beautiful and even reasonable in price. I ordered some things for our honeymoon too. I know that a short thin materialed dress would have been more appropriate for a beach ceremony, but I had my heart set on my full length gown. My bridesmaids and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. They all looked so lovely in their wedding attire.

There were torches around the reception area and the dance floor was lit up with little white lights we had strung around. I had sailboat place card holders and placed seashells and starfish all around the tables. 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 the picture frames I chose were to their liking.

There were tealights and candles to light up our beautifully set bridal table and lovley beach themed flutes for the wedding toast. All the supplies and accessories for our wedding reception was decorated in an oceanside motif, and so was our cake topper. 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. There was so much seafood, such as lobsters, crabs and shrimp and we also had plenty of chicken and steaks for the non seafood eaters. 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.

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

Nice sweet sixteen party favors…

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 decided to check it out. 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. There were cookie cutters I used to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 for her guests.

Since it was her birthday, I let her decide what she wanted and she decided to party at the roller rink and have her friends stay overnight. So I made the arrangements, and reserved tables with the roller rink in our neighborhood. 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. The party was to continue at our house after the skating, so I had to get everything ready. I decorated the house with birthday accessories,laid out snacks and put my sweet 16 cookies, I made, on the tables.

I ordered more than the cookie cutters when I went shopping 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. Each of the girls got a disposable camera to take pictures of this evenings event and a pink photo album to store them in. I gave them the cameras before we left for the roller rink, but they had no idea about the albums until later. 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. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. 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. They were having a lot of fun together.

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. It made me feel good that they wanted to include me. They were able to watch two of the movies we rented before eyes started closing. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. 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. 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. They told me they had a super time and they thought the cheap sweet sixteen favors were really cool. I like that my daughter and her friends now consider me to be a cool mom.

Nice 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 beauty of nature all around us, it wasn’t too expensive to decorate. The first thing on my agenda was to find that perfect place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. 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.

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

Plan “A” was setting up a gorgeous trellis for our ceremony to be performed under and canopies for the reception. The only real decorations I needed were those for my wedding table and the guests reception tables. About all I needed were a extra flowers and my table settings, thanks to the already present beauty of the park. I thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. 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. 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. The chrome bottle openers we bought for our guests were packaged in beautiful favors boxes and given out as a summer favor. The most beautiful part of our wedding table was our cake with it’s gorgeous wedding cake topper.

I saw this cake topper when I was checking out all the wedding accessories they had to offer, and I knew this was the topper I wanted. 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. Talk about the best wedding keepsake you can get. 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. 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. The DJ we hired was really exceptional and I’m sure that the music played on long after my new husband and I 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 couldn’t have picked a better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception party. If we celebrate one of our anniversaries with a wedding renewal, I want to have it in a gorgeous park again.

Nice baby shower party favors

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. Plenty of ideas and a great variety of party items can be found there. So I went online and started picking out all of the baby shower favors supplies and decorations I could find. I found many good suggestion there. 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. In front of every my little guest I putted a cute teddy bear which holded a card with there name, and every one of them had they own buggy favor box filled with candies. 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. Just for my unborn niece, I decorated the cake with pink icing and other small cake decorations. I also picked out an adorable cake topper that were little baby building 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. Decorations and accessories isn’t all they have there, I even bought quite a few baby gifts from there too. I found such adorable little gifts, like the picture album, baby blankets, and layette sets, that I bought for the baby. One of the best things about buying online is that it’s so easy and convenient, not to mention the money I saved. 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. This is where you can find really great accessories for your baby shower.

We had such a great time and everyone seemed happy with their baby shower favor idea. We played games, the mother to be opened presents and we all really enjoyed ourselves. One of my favorite games was filling baby bottles with a drink and giving one to each guest. Then when someone saids go, each person must drink from their baby bottle until it’s empty and the first one done wins the game. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Everyone then had to try to find a match of a baby photo to the adult person. The prize went to whoever had the most matches. I ordered all the prizes when I ordered my party supplies and accessories. 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. Online you can find so many wonderful accessories for almost any party, including graduations and birthdays.

Want to know how I found out about this site for baby showers and other party accessories? 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. It’s the best place to go for themed wedding accessories and supplies, even if you are planning a destination wedding. 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.

Shopping for wedding pen

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I thought online shopping would be a good idea to get a wedding pen set and other reception supplies. I was right - there were so many options, not just on styles and colors but on weddings as well! They had a lot of themes for weddings and receptions that you could choose from, that I really liked. Our wedding date is set for January, so I was thinking about having a winter wonderland ceremony and reception. When I think of a Christmas wedding ceremony, with a tree and decorations, I almost which we had chosen December as our wedding date. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Now it was time to put my plans in motion.

They had the prettiest winter wonderland invitations for our guests. Secondly, I chose our flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow and all the other accessories I needed for our wedding ceremony. I was thinking I had everything for our winter wedding I could possibly need, but I found out that I had forgotten something. I didn’t remember the wedding book and wedding pen. So, I searched through the wedding supplies and found the beautiful winter wedding guestbooks and wedding pen sets, and picked my favorite. There were snowflakes, hints of blue and perfect little crystals on the cover of our winter wedding guestbook. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. 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.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. I thought they had quite a few great winter wedding accessories but I was really surprised to find our champagne flutes with the same design on the stems as they had on our guestbook and pen. They were absolutely exquitsite. Our reception tables were absolutely exquisite with all the crystal, candles and centerpieces I picked out. If you’re like me and my fiance and you’re watching your budget, this place can really help with wholesale accessories and supplies they have to offer. As beautiful as it all was, it’s hard to believe they didn’t cost a lot more.

There were a lot of cake toppers to check out too. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. 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 guests were really impressed with the silver sled cake stand idea that my fiance thought of.

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. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and the favor pens were a hit! 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.

Shopping for 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. One thing I discovered was to be sure you always buy extra invitations, just in case you make a mistake and have yourself a do over, like I did. After I got the invitations out of the way, my next step was finding the right dress for a beach wedding. I looked at several dresses and gorgeous full length gowns, but really couldn’t make up my mind. The full length bridal gowns were so beautiful, but I was afraid they may be too uncomfortable for a 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.

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. I found the most lovely flower bouquets for the bridesmaids and myself, and the entire wedding party looked absolutely perfect.

With all the pictures I wanted taken of our wedding ceremony and reception, maybe I should have bought two wedding photo 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. After we were pronounced husband and wife, we left for the hotel to change from our wedding attire to our beach attire. 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.

Our guests seemed impressed with the wedding accessories for our reception tables that were done in a beach themed décor. I bought everything for our tables at the same place I bought our lovely beach themed wedding album. The little beach chairs I found worked out perfectly as place card holders and they made great little picture frames too. The guests seemed to like them, and I thought they were just adorable. I also found the perfect beach wedding favors for our friends and family. I chose adorable tea lights that looked just like sand castles to remind them of our beach party. 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. Putting together everything for our wedding and reception was not as hard as I thought it would be, thanks to all the help I had in finding the perfect beach wedding accessories and reception supplies online. 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.
