Spectacular 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 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. There was everything for to pull off the perfect wedding ceremony and reception.

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 also ordered from this fantastic choice of accesssories, the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket, which came as a set. It was a beautiful satin garnet color and included a wedding guest book, pen set and wedding garter. All five pieces of wedding accessories at a very reasonable price.

There were a lot of other items I ordered too, like my lovely aisle runner for the church ceremony. We wanted to have a wedding bell favor and we loved it! 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 bought accessories online for our reception as well as our ceremony. They really had quite a collection of gorgeous wedding reception accessories to choose from. I wanted to make our reception tables sparkle, so I ordered as much crystal as I could get away with, starting with crystal champagne flutes. 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. 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. 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 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. I purchased flowers and ordered some beautiful candles to make into our centerpieces for the reception tables.

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. I have pictures of our friends and family, the ring boy and flower girl on the dance floor together and our first dance as husband and wife.

I’m so glad everyone had such a wonderful time, and I received so many compliments on the decorations of the wedding and reception. Someday I’d like to have a renewal ceremony and reception for our anniversary and thank goodness, my husband agrees.

Spectacular First Communion Favors!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I wanted to give out communion favors that would have a religious theme to them. So, I checked out a lot of religious shops and even book stores but still couldn’t find anything that seemed just right. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. 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. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.

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 had a cake decorated for the occasion, hired a band and made a buffet of different foods for the guests. 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. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. This party really meant a lot to our daughter and all of us had such a lovely time. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.

I couldn’t help but feel that this was a practice run for her wedding and reception. Someday, not too far away, we’ll be filling out invitations and picking out wedding accessories together. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. Not only do they have a fantastic holly 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. 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. 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. It’s a good thing I know the perfect online shopping store, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of opportunities to use it.

Spectacular Gifts For Bridesmaid!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

All the wedding accessories I checked out were super. 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. My fiance chose exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts on his first look through the selection. He got them all a special little shot glass as their thank you gifts. 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 didn’t have this much trouble choosing my wedding accessories and reception supplies. I already had what I wanted, in mind, for those accessories. They had everything I needed for my autumn wedding ceremony. They had everything to go with the fall colors and décor I wanted. 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. You can even order beautiful favor boxes for the unique wedding favors they offer, and the place cards and holders they have are pretty exceptional too. I’m pretty sure these wedding favors I ordered for our guests will be a big hit. 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. They were such lovely little glass coasters. It didn’t take much time for me to choose the wedding cake topper I liked the best. Even though my first choice would have been the fairytale topper, I chose an exquisite heart with our names added. 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 cheap bridesmaid gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. Thanks to all the discount offers they had, there were many cheap bridesmaid gifts 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. Even though I had it narrowed down to only two items, it still took me a little longer to make that final decision. After a very long debate with myself and a couple of more trips to the wedding accessory site, I made up my mind. The conclusion to this problem was simple, I’ll give them both as wedding gifts. 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.

I was so happy that our wedding day turned out to be so perfect. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. Many of our guests told use how lovely everything was and how nice their wedding favors were. The groomsmen gifts and the bridesmaids gifts were a big hit. This day will live in my memory forever.

Spectacular brides accessories

Monday, April 27th, 2009

As soon as we set our wedding date, I got busy with my planning and shopping for everything I needed. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. 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. There was everything for our wedding and reception, from invitations to party favors for our wedding guests.

We had no problem choosing the theme we wanted for our wedding and reception, it had to be a beach theme. Our friends and us have spent many days on the beach, since we were kids, growing up here and it seemed like the perfect place for our wedding.

So the first thing I did was to order the beach themed wedding invitations and get them in the mail as soon as possible. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my bridal accessories I would need. I was surprised at all the brides accessories they carried for weddings and receptions, and I shop online quite a bit. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. I ordered a beautiful necklace and earring set that looked absolutely fantastic with my gown. It had little pearls and crystals entertwined and gave such a luxurious sparkle to my ensemble.

The quality of the bride accessory I saw was fabulous – and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. I also bought a few items I can use while on our honeymoon. 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 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. 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. Our topper was a bride and groom taking a walk 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. For those that weren’t into seafood, we made sure we had plenty of steaks and chicken for them. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

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.

Spectacular wedding cake knife

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I decided, after looking at many wedding suggestions, to have a themed ceremony and reception party. Now the decision was which theme to use. I took a look at the country western theme, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. I thought maybe we could have an old fashioned barn dance at the reception. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could swim, party on the beach and enjoy a lovely sunset. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake knife to match every theme. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.

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. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. I started with the decorations for the church ceremony. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. Tall vases filled with flowers were all around the altar, and tapered candles in fairytale holders were place on the sides of the unity candle.

As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. 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. The wedding cake 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.

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. We chose our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one, as our first bride and groom dance. After our song was over, couples filled the dance floor, for the next song. 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.

With the ceremony and reception party turning out as great as it did, I know you can have your favorite fairytale come true.

Fabolous sweet sixteen

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 was really surprised at what super favors and table decorations they had. I ran across some pretty neat ideas for her birthday celebration. I found these cute little cookie cutters in the shape of the number 16 and use it to make cookies for the party.

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. I then made reservations at the roller rink in town. I sent all of her girl friends special party invitations. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. They had a great package deal for birthday parties, with pizza, hot dogs and refreshments. 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.

The cookie cutters wasn’t the only thing I ordered online. Since I was getting by so cheap with this party, I ordered extra gifts from the selection of sweet sixteen favors for her and her friends. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. Everyone got a camera before we went to the roller rink party, but no one got an album until later that evening. Even though they took a lot of photos at the roller rink, they all saved some picture taking for the sleepover.

One of the favors was a cosmetic bag that had each girls initial on the front button. The cosmetic bags were just the beginning, I also bought manicure sets and purse mirrors for each of the girls. I also sat out these adorable little favor boxes I bought online that were filled with candies for each guest. We left the rink and went home to have her sweet sixteen party 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. After they got tired of dancing to their favorite tunes, they decided to give make overs and manicures to each other. From all the noise and laughing you knew they were having the time of their lives.

Finally, things started to quiet down and they broke out the popcorn and 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. 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. With her eyes almost closed, she told me how much she loved her birthday party and thanked me.

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. Most of the girls went home after a couple hours of hanging out with my daughter. Each of the girls said they had a great time at the party and they loved the favors for sweet sixteen I got them. It’s really neat being considered a cool mom.

Fabolous summer wedding

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Planning an outside wedding wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. 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. The first thing I had to do was to find the perfect location to have our summer wedding and reception. I could have had our wedding ceremony on the beach, with a fun filled beach party reception, or an elegant garden party, but I chose a ceremony and reception in the park. I found there were several great locations that would work out perfectly for an outdoor wedding.

Since I never planned a wedding like this before, I needed all the help I could get. 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. 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 only had to get decorations for my bridal table and the reception tables for our friends and family. 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. I decided to go with artificial flowers because I didn’t want to have our wedding to be the target of a bee swarm. 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. Even though some summer wedding invitations are fantastic, the heat can totally destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

I found quite a few terrific accessories that I could use for the reception. I had little park bench place card holders at each table setting, and little citronella votive candles in glass globes with a nice flower arrangement as our centerpieces. I found very decorative favor boxes and used them to package the chrome bottle openers we bought for our friends and family as a summer wedding favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique 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. They put our faces on our cake topper, and all I had to do was send them a photo of me and my fiance. 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. 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.

It was the perfect wedding and reception, just like I had hoped for. Plan B never had to be used, since the weather was so beautiful, and thankfully it remained that way through the whole evening. 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. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception we had. I couldn’t have picked a better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception party. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.

Fabolous baby shower 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 turned on my computer and started ordering supplies online as I did for my wedding accessories. Plenty of ideas and a great variety of party items can be found there. Then I started to search the net for baby shower favors supplies and picking out what decorations I could find there. I found great ideas there to work with. I ordered all of the accessories and decorations I needed and as soon as they were delivered, I started decorating. I managed have everything set up as baby oriented. 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 prepared snacks for the buffet table and ordered a scrumptious chocolate cake, especially for the mother to be. I had the cake covered with pink icing and little cake decorations, in honor of my niece to be. I also picked out an adorable cake topper that were little baby building blocks. It was a great looking cake, and the decorations turned out perfectly for it.

The baby bootie candles I chose as baby shower party favors were the perfect gift. Decorations and accessories isn’t all they have there, I even bought quite a few baby gifts from there too. I ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. This online buying is the best thing I had ever done before: its easy,convenient and much cheaper. There was everything I needed in baby shower supplies for the perfect party, and I only had to place my order. There was also a game of baby bingo that I ordered for the party. 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 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. 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 bought all the prizes the same place I bought all of my fantastic party accessories. There were adorable little candles, fragrant scented soaps and adorable picture frames as prizes.

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.

You must wonder how I know about this site for baby showers and their great selection of accessories? Well, I saw all they had when I ordered my accessories and decorations for my wedding.

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. Doing online shopping was one of the best decision I ever made. I’ll use this site for all of my future parties.

Wedding cake supplies and more!!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I couldn’t believe all the wedding supplies I needed to buy for my wedding ceremony and reception. Now I know why the girls at work told me to start wedding shopping asap. I didn’t think the supplies and accessories would be more work than getting the dresses, the guys tuxes and everyone elses wedding outfits. There was a lot more to planning this event than I realized. At the top of my to do list was the invitations to our country western themed wedding and reception. I started shopping for my wedding cake supplies, crossing them off the list as I go. Country themed decorations were the first thing on my reception supply list. I decided to take a friends advice and see what there was to offer online before I started going from store to store. I was amazed at what a big selection they had to offer

Who knew that if you shopped online for wedding accessories for themed weddings that there were be so many great ideas, not just for my country themed wedding, but for many others too. Everyone got a kick out of the place card holders that I bought for our reception tables. Since we were having a cookout for our wedding reception, I thought the cute little barbecue grills they had for place card holders was perfect.

For our centerpieces I took metal campfire cups and filled them with wildflowers and placed western garland around them. I found exceptional wholesale wedding supply, including the perfect western themed wedding favors for all of our guests. I also ordered bride and groom cowboy hats for us. There were unique champagne flutes for toasting the bride and groom that were also of a western theme. I also had them hang white christmas lights all around the reception area and scatter a few old western type lanterns here and there. Our wedding table was pretty cool too, with our gorgeous wedding cake and it’s western themed cake topper. With all the themed accessories and decorations for the reception and the tables, anyone could pull off the perfect western wedding. I found everything from my wedding album to my serving set, including, little cowboy hats for our tables and a gorgeous wedding guest book and pen set in a uniquely styled western theme. I got everything for my western themed wedding and reception accessories by browsing the web, and it was all so easy to do.

There were some items I did have to pick up at a store, like bales of hay, a couple of big grills, and a few odds and ends to help the theme along. Actually my fiance and his best friend picked up those items for me. They even made a super dance floor for the reception. Not only did we have the newly made dance floor, but a super country band to help us kick up our heels and a great selection of foods to eat. They grilled chicken, steaks ribs and more, and the buffet table was filled with all kinds of salads. Everyone was having such a fantastic time.

I got a lot of compliments on our western décor idea, from some of our guests. Going online to search for accessories and décor ideas really paid off. The best part was how easy and convenient it was, all I had to do was choose the accessories, order them and wait for them to be delivered right to my door. It’s so much better than running myself ragged from shop to shop trying to put it all together. And another great thing about where I got all my wedding accessories was that they have a great selection of discount wedding supplies to choose from. Before you run from place to place, take my advice and try online browsing for your supplies first.

cheap wedding pens!!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding guest pen for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! 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. Since our ceremony is in January, I thought a winter wonderland wedding and reception would be ideal. 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 a winter wedding is gorgeous too, at least all the accessories I’ve seen were. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Next I had to get everything together for my beautiful wedding.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. 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 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. Our wedding guest book had little snowflakes and hints of blue and little crystals placed on it. Along with our lovely winter themed guestbook was the winter themed wedding pens to match. Now that I had our winter wedding guestbook and pen, it was time to find the perfect 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.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. There was everything for the perfect winter wonderland wedding and I started with the crystal champagne flutes with the decorative winter themed stems, designed just like our wedding guest book and pen. They were so fantastic looking. The glassware, gel candles and lovely winter centerpieces I chose really made our tables look spectacular. 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. 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. Our cake topper showed a bride and groom in a whimsical winter activity. We had a gorgeous five tiered winter wedding cake with sugar snowflakes along with icy blue and red winter designs. We used a big silver sled design for our wedding cake stand. 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.

We had snowmen place card holders on the reception tables for all of our guests. I also chose wedding favors that were little snowflake gel candles for our guests. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. They really added to the winter décor of the reception tables. The wedding reception was a lot of fun and our friends and family seemed to like the cheap wedding pens we gave to them. The wedding ceremony and the winter reception was everything I wanted it to be, and I’m so glad I decided to give the online shopping a try. All of their decorating ideas and selections really helped me with so much of the planning.
