Themed wedding photo album?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I started shopping for my themed accessories and supplies as soon as we were sure we were having a beach wedding. First things first, I bought our beach themed wedding invitations. Since I had a couple of invitations I had to do over again, I was really glad I bought extra. With the invitations all done and on their way to our prospective guests, I could move on to picking out the beach wedding dress I wanted for our ceremony. There were so many options for beach wedding dresses and gowns, that it was a tough decision to make. The full length bridal gowns were so beautiful, but I was afraid they may be too uncomfortable for a beach wedding. I found a beautiful beaded knee length dress made of light weight materials of satin and lace, with spaghetti straps for my wedding.

Linen beach dresses with a crocheted halter covering was what I chose for my bridesmaids. 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 ring boy wore a white cotton shirt and khaki shorts, and our flower girl was so cute in a light fabric sundress. I found the most lovely flower bouquets for the bridesmaids and myself, and the entire wedding party looked absolutely perfect.

I wish now,with all the photos of our wedding being taken, that I would have bought two wedding photo albums, instead of only one. I planned to have pictures of all the fantastic decorations at our wedding and reception and photos of every guest that attended. I especially wanted photos of us taking our vows under the beautiful flowered arch and satin canopy we had put up. Directly after the ceremony we left to change into more suitable beach wear for the reception party. 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 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. I found the cutest little beach chairs as place card holders that they can use for their favorite little photo later. I think our friends and family thought they were cute, I know I did. I also found the perfect beach wedding favors for our friends and family. We bought them little tea lights in the shape of sand castles to represent our oceanside reception. I found quite a bit of accessories and decorations for our beach themed reception tables and the bride and groom table as well. 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.

There were a lot of nice comments made by our guests on how lovely everything looked. 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. Everything was like a dream come true, with the beautiful ocean waves and the warm summer sands as our wedding chapel and reception location.

Every once in a while I take out our beach themed wedding photo album and remember our special day.

Wow found Love Themed Favor

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Valentine’s day can be the perfect wedding day. My fiance and I both agreed on that day, we would get married. After we picked the church and the place for our reception, I started shopping for what they called the ‘wedding favor love.’ I had no problem finding the perfect invitations for our wedding and reception. The silver hearts linked together on the invitations looked so romantic. I’m glad I listened to my mom and bought extra wedding invitations, because while writing them out I made a few mistakes.

With the wedding invitations out of the way, I knew it was time to start on the wedding and reception supplies. My mom went with me to find the perfect wedding dress and wedding shoes. When she finally stopped tearing up after I tried on a few dresses, she was very helpful. After hitting every shop in town and checking out the many styles that were available, I found the perfect wedding dress for me. It only took the groom to be and his groomsmen one stop to find their tuxes. I half way expected him to be dressed like a pall bearer, since he took the first thing he looked at. I shouldn’t have been worried, he looked absolutely perfect standing at the altar.

After I took care of everything the wedding party needed, it was time to consider ceremony decorations. I hung big red velvet bows at the end of the pews and made sure there were plenty of red roses arranged around the room and at the altar. The altar was covered in candle light and I found the most beautiful themed unity candle for our ceremony. The church allowed me to have red and pink rose petals tossed down the aisle by our flower girl. There’s a lot of churches that frown on that tradition, but luckily ours isn’t one of them. It was the perfect wedding ceremony and our church décor was absolutely lovely.

I had many more accessories to buy for our wedding reception than I did the ceremony. Our supplies for the reception started with love theme decorations with a love theme and ended with fall in love favors. I had beautiful red roses all around the room and hearts hanging from the ceiling. On the dance floor just in front of the band was a huge heart made of red and white balloons.

The centerpieces we had made up for the reception tables had bouquets of flowers with a little cupid sticking out of each one. The little white pearls on the place card holders really added to the love décor of the tables. I also found very decorative favor boxes for the love favors we had for our guests. Some guests were commenting on how lovely the tables were with all the flowers and the lovely favor boxes. Our wedding table looked gorgeous too. There were crystal heart champagne flutes for our wedding toast, and an absolutely gorgeous love themed cake serving set. But I think our three tiered wedding cake outshined everything on our table. On top of our gorgeous cake sat a love birds cake topper. Everything on the wedding table was perfect, starting with our sparkling crystal all the way to the three tiered wedding cake.

Thanks to all the accessories and supplies I found online this wedding turned out to be absolutely perfect.

After my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes for our guests. Many of the guests sent us thank you’s for the great time they had at the wedding and reception and for the love party favors gifts they received. I think that was very thoughtful.

Found unique guest books

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

There wasn’t a bridal shop or accessories store I hadn’t checked for my wedding album and wedding guest book. I got so tired of going store to store that I almost decided to tell my fiance, I’d rather elope. A friend suggested that I take a look at the wedding accessories available online. So I decided to take a look online. And you’ll never guess. There it was, my themed wedding guest book, plus a lot of other wedding accessories I could use for my themed ceremony and reception.

This guestbook was just what I wanted for our fairy tale wedding. There was even a beautiful pen and holder that went with our theme too. I looked at several great fairy tale suggestions online, and I also found the type of wedding album I wanted. There was a lot more wedding decorating ideas than I expected and the choice of accessories was fantastic. We found so many accessories for our flower girl, ring boy and his groomsmen and best man, and I found the nicest items for my bridemaids too.

It was so nice getting all these accessories in one place. Naturally, we went to the caterers for our food, the bakery for our cake and found a photographer and entertainment. We also had to shop for our wedding attire, but most of what I bought for our ceremony and reception, I bought online. The accessories for our wedding, like the gorgeous guestbook wedding items, didn’t cost us as much as I thought it would. In fact, a lot of our wedding accessories, and decorations, we got at a discount. When you have a limited amount of money to spend on your wedding, that really helps a couple that’s just getting started.

The wedding favor suggestions were really nice and I took my time picking out just the right ones. This was our friends and family and I wanted to make sure I picked out the best in favors I could find. My fiance picked out the favors for the guys and I took care of the gifts for the women. That seemed fair, and it worked out nicely too. I chose these lovely little wedding carriage candles for each of the ladies, that went perfectly with a storybook wedding. My fiance, being a man, chose some pretty cool shot glasses for the guys, even though it didn’t go with the theme, it was something they all liked.

By the way, I ordered more than one guest book for our wedding day. One was strictly for the ceremony, and the other were unique guest books. I wanted the names of everyone that was able to stay for the reception, because some of the guests had to leave. And boy, did we celebrate! We danced so much my feet were killing me. I’m so glad I picked out the perfect wedding album for our pictures, one with scrapbooking and a special compartment for keepsakes. I put one of our wedding invitations, monogrammed napkins and other little keepsakes in it.

Leaving the reception wasn’t easy, we were having such a great time, but we had to get to the airport and start our honeymoon. Everyone said their congratulations and best wishes and complimented us on the wonderful reception as we were walking out the door. I hope everyone really had a great time, I know we did.

I had no idea where he was taking me for our honeymoon until we arrived. I was blown away when we pulled up to the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando for seven fantastic days. He wanted to give me another week of the storybook life. I not only have wedding pictures, but a whole separate album just for our honeymoon photos and I just had to get them developed as soon as we got back.

What is a Wedding Garter?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

I just started planning my wedding, when my sister volunteered her help. There was a lot of shopping done for my accessories. We went to every bridal shop in town. We even checked the yellow pages for more bridal shops to check out. But, I wasn’t crazy about the accessories they had to offer. Not to mention the high cost of everything at these bridal shops. I wrote a list on all the things that I needed to purchase. We had a lot of work ahead of us and very little time. That’s when my sister got an idea to browse the web to see what she could find as far as wedding accessories. She told me there were lots of accessories and wedding decoration ideas to check out.

We looked at several kinds of wedding and reception ideas they had. There were suggestions for all types of themed weddings. They had everything I needed, from wedding and reception décor to gorgeous lacy wedding garters. A lot of them had a very expensive look to them, and I was surprised they didn’t cost a lot more. I found a lovely bridal garters set that came with a free garter for the tossing event. There were so many styles to choose from, it wasn’t an easy decision. You could also choose just your keepsake garters or one of the many tossing garters that were available. There were all kinds of styles of lacy, decorated garters with pearls and some with little hearts. The one I chose had very small pearls and a beautiful satin ribbon with roses. They are absolutely beautiful garters.

I also got my veil, tiara and a few other bridal accessories from there. It was a beautiful veil with pearls and ribbon edging. My tiara matched my veil perfectly with little pearls encased in gold. When I picked out my tiara, I was surprised to see that you could also buy tiaras for birthdays and bachelorette parties as well. There are a lot of accessories for celebrations other than wedding ceremonies and receptions. They have a variety of party favors available too. There are favors for birthdays, girls night out parties, graduations and of course, wedding receptions.

I found almost everything I needed for our wedding ceremony and reception party. The wedding ceremony and reception decorations were really fabulous. There were beautiful flower arrangements everywhere and satin ribboned bows at the end of each pew. Our unity candle was really beautiful and came with taper candles for each side of the altar. I even found the perfect wedding guestbook and pen set for our wedding ceremony. There was plenty to choose from for our reception party too. The wedding cake topper I bought looked very impressive atop our wedding cake. I had bought lovely crystal glasses for all our reception tables.

Everyone seemed impressed by the little thank you favors I picked out. I found the most adorable favor boxes to package them in. They actually added to the décor of our reception. There were a lot of super suggestions for wedding reception centerpieces there too. By listening to my sisters idea of going online to find wedding ceremony and reception party supplies, I not only got some fantastic accessories, but saved money in the process too. There were quite a few accessories I was able to get at a discount.

They even have wedding favors and accessories for destination weddings and honeymoons. I thought about a destination wedding, but there were just too many guests that wanted to attend our wedding. We were very happy with the way our wedding and reception turned out, and we had everything we needed to make it perfect.

Choosing from Wedding Table Decoration

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

There is so much to buy for your wedding and reception. If you have your location and date for the wedding, then it’s time to get the invitations in the mail. There is all types of invitations you can use. You could buy invitations with a theme, like for an ocean side ceremony, or just beautiful traditional invitations. I decided on a beach motif for my themed wedding invitations.

I bought everything from invitations to wedding favors with an ocean side theme in mind. I also found quite a few suggestions for beach theme wedding decorations. I loved the gel candles idea and made sure I had plenty for our tables. There was also lovely little seashells that could be used as place card holders that I thought were adorable.

I liked the beach themed wedding favors they had to choose from too. I narrowed it down to the picture frames or the lovely beach theme tea lights. Since, I obviously couldn’t have both, I went with the tea lights. I just couldn’t resist them. They were so lovely, I ordered a couple extra for myself. Not only is there a lot of choices for reception décor, but there is quite a few suggestions for wedding decorating ideas also. Like the beautiful flower baskets and ring pillows that went so well with our theme. I even got my veil and tiara from there. In fact, I bought most of our accessories and reception supplies there. Not only is the selection fantastic, but the prices were pretty reasonable too. Weddings can run into a lot of money, and having a place like this to shop really helps out financially.

What’s nice too, is the fact that you can find accessories for almost any theme you can think of. I was very impressed with the seasonal themed accessories. I would have chosen the winter wonderland accessories if we were having our ceremony in the winter months. The winter wonderland accessories were so gorgeous. But, for July I chose my favorite, an ocean side theme. I have to admit, it was pretty awesome. The reception was a lot of fun, and my guests were really impressed with the reception and wedding accessories I had chosen. They particularly liked our wedding cake topper. It was a lovely cake topper of the bride and groom on the beach.

They also thought our beach themed champagne glasses were quite unique. There were so many nice accessories on our tables, from our cake serving set to the centerpieces. Our beautiful ocean side themed favor boxes really added to the table décor. I can’t believe I got all of these super accessories and supplies online. And the best part was the great prices. I was really surprised that I found all the items I did while browsing the internet and how easy and convenient it was. I wish I would have known about this when I was planning my friends baby shower, they had all kinds of accessories and decorations for that too.

I also bought myself a couple of wedding albums for all of our photos. I found two gorgeous photo albums with scrapbooking and a special place for my keepsakes inside. There is everything under the sun for a beautiful wedding and a super reception.

Someone had something nice to say about everything from our wedding decoration to the our gorgeous reception. Everyone seemed to have a great time and did lots of dancing. It was a little hard to leave such a great time with our friends and family. But it was time to start on our fabulous honeymoon. Going to a place I’ve never been before only added to the excitement of our honeymoon. This is the beginning to a whole new life.

Unique gorgeous wedding favors

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I put a lot of thought about the theme for our wedding ceremony and reception. I wasn’t sure if I wanted a beach wedding, a garden wedding or a country western wedding. Then I thought maybe I should just stick with the traditional type of ceremony and reception. Then I found out about destination weddings and that one got me thinking. How great would it be to have a ceremony and reception in Las Vegas, or maybe take it all the way to Hawaii? I would probably go for the Hawaii destination. But I had to give that plan up, too many people wouldn’t be able to travel that far.
Then I thought about a winter themed wedding. But since we were getting married in July, that just didn’t seem appropriate. So I decided to go with every young girls dream of marrying a prince, and chose to have a storybook wedding, just like in the fairy tales I read as a child. There were plenty of fairy tale accessories and ideas to work with for the perfect story book wedding. There were even special wedding cakes you could buy that fit in perfectly with the theme. So I finally made up my mind. Cinderella and Prince Charming were getting married.
I went online and found fairy tale invitations that I could send out. Then I started choosing my wedding and reception accessories and supplies. I picked out floor length dresses for the girls in my wedding party, and found an exquisite gown for myself. All of the groomsmen and the ring boy looked so handsome in their tuxes, but the best looking one of all, was my regal prince. When I walked down the aisle towards my husband to be I really felt like I was royalty. Everything about our ceremony was exquisite. All of the gorgeous décor only added to the beauty of our ceremony. Rose petals were falling all around us as we were leaving the church. We were driven to the reception in a horse drawn carriage, just like royalty.
A real castle wouldn’t haved looked as good as our reception hall with all of the fantastic accessories and decorations. I was able to find all the accessories I needed for this special themed wedding and some very lovely wedding favors for our friends and family. I had every wedding reception favor done up in storybook themed favor boxes. I can’t believe all the accessories I was able to get for my fairy tale reception. I decided on little coaches for place card holders and the gorgeous place card holders that looked just like Cinderella coach. They had everything imaginable for a storybook wedding and reception.
Everyone had a fabulous time and I received a lot of compliments on the décor. One of my guests said it was the most beautiful ceremony she’d ever been too. I know I was impressed and it was my wedding. I’m so glad that I chose this theme and found so many accessories to help me make it happen. I wanted today to be as special for our guests as it was for me and my new husband. Everything at our reception was in a fairytale theme, even our cake, so I wanted themed wedding favor ideas too. I felt that a momento of this special day would mean more than any other gift I could give them. Something that could hold the memory of today for them as well as for us.
As soon as we returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes I needed to mail out. Would you believe I even found fairytale thank you notes for everyone? I wouldn’t mind having a fairytale anniversary renewal ceremony.

Monday, April 13th, 2009

At your wedding shower, wedding favors are a vital piece of the puzzle! Over the years I noticed how much wedding showers changed for the better. The gifts for the guest has more thought put into it. At your shower you appreciate your guest and want to say thank you by giving them gifts. Today wedding favors and decorations have changed in the way you purchase them. Online purchases for your wedding is what most people are doing today. By browsing the web you can get awesome wedding ideas.

Weddings can be the most happiest time in your life and on the other hand be stressful and hetic. I also wanted my guests to have a gift that they could use. I would plan my wedding once I found the right wedding favors. I decided to do some research on the web to see what my options were. I found a variety of wedding favors. I saw wedding favors by season, wedding favors by theme, and wedding favors by type. They have a huge variety of wedding favors to choose and it is hard to decide which one is the best. The best wedding favors are the ones that are fun and functional.

During my search I came across coffee and tea favors. You know that coffee and tea favors are very simple, elegant and affordable. Also coffee and tea favors are becoming more and more popular. Tea party favors and supplies has a large selection to choose from. I chose coffee and tea favors and knew my search would end soon. I would be saving money and impressing my guests at the same time. By giving my guests coffee and tea they would be getting a refreshing drink and a gift that they can enjoy. By giving coffee and tea favors is a great way to say thank you to your guests and they will know how special they are. Your special day will be remembered by your guests and your shower will have a touch of elegance. Coffee and tea favors will give the room that special amazing smell.

I had to decide on which favors to get, coffee favors or tea favors. You don’t have to limit tea shower favors to coffee and tea. They have tea infusers, coffee cup candles and much more. Choosing the right one was getting difficult and was hard to make a choice because I fell in love with all of them. I thought to myself that all of my guests may not like tea or may not like coffee. So I decided to get both coffee favors and tea favors. My guests would be able to pick what they liked the best. This way they would not end up with a gift they did not like. My decision came to an end when I finally made up my mind to pick tea infusers for the tea lovers and coffee cup candles for the coffee lovers. I knew that not only will they make the tables look gorgeous, but they will also make the entire room smell of coffee and tea scents.

Finally it was the day of my wedding. The tables were set and all the decorations were set up. When the room was finished it looked so elegant and also inviting. You felt cozy when you smelled the aroma of coffee and tea in the room. I was so excited and could not wait to see all my friends and family at the reception. I was so happy to see the excitement on my guests faces when they did arrive. All my guest said that my shower looked elegant and how the room smelled of coffee and tea. My decision on coffee and tea favors was an excellent choice.

Great Wedding Collections!….

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

I must have looked at hundreds of wedding accessories and hundreds of different prices. I browsed through a ton of wedding accessories, all ranging from expensive to cheap in cost. But there is just so much to consider when you’re planning a wedding and reception, that there just doesn’t seem to be enough time. My sister had a great idea that would save me time and money for all of my accessories.
Her suggestion was for me to try shopping online for my supplies and the wedding accessories I needed. It’s a good thing I decided to check it out. I found quite a few of my accessories and supplies at prices I could afford.
I found wedding collections with so many beautiful wedding items. The collection set I picked out had so many great items, like my gorgeous bridal garter and handkerchief, ring pillow and flower basket, and a beautifully styled guest book and pen holder.
This was the first I’d ever heard of a collection for wedding accessories. There were unity candles included in some of the sets. There were also many different themes for the wedding collection set. They had Irish wedding sets and some really exceptional beach themed sets. But our wedding is going to be a traditional wedding. So I decided on the satin collection set with adorable bows that had satin all around the edges.
Most of the accessories and reception supplies I looked at were pretty reasonably priced. In fact, there were quite a few items available at discount prices. If you have a low budget to follow for your wedding, this can be very helpful.
There were even some fantastic wedding cake toppers to choose from. I liked the funny cake toppers the best. When I showed him the cake topper I wanted, my fiance said he liked the idea of having a funny topper for our cake. It depicted the whimsical side of marriage. I was able to get everything from our cake topper to our wedding favors online. They had everything I needed from toppers to favors, right there online. I was really surprised that I could get everything from wedding cake toppers to adorable wedding favor gifts, for our friends and family, on my computer.
I found plenty of bridal accessories for the ceremony. They even had beautiful aisle runners, as well as flower arrangements and many styles of candles. They also had the veil and tiara I wanted. There was also beautiful white confetti that I bought for the guests to use when the ceremony is over.
Our reception hall was filled with the accessories I bought there. The crystal champagne flute and glassware sparkled on all the tables, and the flower arrangements made excellent centerpieces. I bought picture frame place card holders that they can later put a memorable photo in. As wedding favors I chose special crystal figurines I thought everyone would like. All in all, I think it was a fabulous reception.
Some of our guests were impressed with the décor I had chosen for the reception, and particularly like the lovely guest book and pen set I ordered. When I told them all I got with the wedding collection, and what a great price it was, they were really surprised. There was a guest whose daughter is getting married in a couple of months and she’s gonna tell her about this place.
Along with all the other fabulous wedding accessories I bought for our ceremony and reception, I also bought a gorgeous wedding album. It was a large white brocade with scrapbook pages and a special place for keepsakes.] I had lots of pictures to fill the pages and plenty of keepsakes too.
The albums they have to choose from are really exquisite and I decided I wanted an extra one for our honeymoon pictures too. We had such a great time on our honeymoon, and we took lots of pictures for my new album. I’m so glad my sister gave me her suggestion. She led me to the perfect wedding accessory and reception supply store, ever.
Your advice is greatly appreciated, sis.

Unique ring bearer pillow!!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

When it came to the flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows and reception supplies, I took my mom’s advice and went shopping online. I really enjoyed the convenience of shopping online and having all my supplies delivered to my door, saved me the trouble of running all over town. I found everything from invitations to wedding favors, and some items at wholesale prices. Our invitations weren’t the only thing I saved money on, I also saved on other accessories too. I saved money on all the tiaras I needed for myself, bridesmaids and my flower girl, plus a lot of other accessories, like flower girl basket, rose petals and I also found terrific ring bearer pillow wedding suggestions. I was amazed at all the different styles of wedding ring pillows.

I couldn’t believe the lovely centerpieces and champagne flutes there were for the guests, with special bride and groom flutes too. There were elegant choices of candles and glassware to enhance my tables. There was such an assortment of themed wedding and destination wedding ideas, and a great selection of wedding favors too. There everything, including favor boxes for beach, winter, garden and other themed weddings. There are beautiful accessories for beach, winter, garden and other themed ceremonies and receptions. If I were having a Vegas theme reception I could have gotten the cute little novelty favors they have for it, like keychains, photo books and more.

The crystal paperweights I bought made the perfect little thank you gifts for our guests. Athough the favors were an added touch of elegance all on their own, I packaged them in exquisite little favor boxes. I found the perfect cake topper. The cake topper was the most exquisite part of our wedding cake. The butterfly with the beautiful satin bow really made an exquisite wedding cake topper.

Everyone seemed impressed with the décor and their wedding favors. Some of the guests came up and thanked me for their gifts and told me how beautiful they were. What I really liked about this place I shopped was the fact they have more than just cake toppers and a wedding ring bearer pillow. There were all kinds of supplies and great ideas for birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers, and girls night out parties too. I didn’t know it at the time, but I found out that’s where my sister got all of her party supplies and party favors for my bridal shower she threw for me. It was all courtesy of mom’s suggestion.

In about three and a half weeks I’m giving my sister a baby shower and I already know where I’m getting the decorations, favors and other party supplies from. I already know what supplies and favors I want to order, but I have to do that until some time next week. That’s when we get to find out if I’ll have a little niece or a little nephew. Then I can order the favors in pink or blue, even though there are other neutral colors I could choose.

I want to thank my mom for pointing me towards this easy way to shop, it saved me a lot of time and money. Filling out our thank you cards and working out all the reception arrangements was another thing I’m grateful for my mom doing for me. You’re really a life saver mom. I promise I’ll keep this place in mind when it’s time for our anniversary parties. They had some very nice ideas for anniversaries, like decorations, cake toppers and even favor gifts for guests. There were some very excellent selections for mom and dad’s 30th anniversary. Me and my sister should look at the possibilities together. Their 30th isn’t that far away, no use waiting until the last minute.

Bridal Fashion and Accessories!

Wednesday, April 8th, 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. There were accessories and reception supplies that would help me to plan the most fantastic wedding and reception party ever, all on my computer. Starting with the beautiful invitations I chose, and finishing with the super wedding favors for our friends and family.

We had no problem choosing the theme we wanted for our wedding and reception, it had to be a beach theme. 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. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection they had to offer. 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 looked at all the jewelry and found the necklace and earring set I wanted to wear with my wedding dress. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.

Great selection of bridal fashion supplies and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. I also bought a few items I can use while on our honeymoon. Even though we were getting married on the beach, I insisted on a floor length wedding dress. There were satin summer dresses for my bridesmaids and my flower girl, that had a knee length hemline. Everyone of them looked stunning and my flower girl was so adorable.

There were tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. I had sailboat place card holders and placed seashells and starfish all around the tables. I didn’t want to give our guests some useless wedding favor that would be stuck in a drawer and forgotten, so we gave them beach themed picture frames as thank you gifts. Everyone seemed to like the gifts they received.

Our wedding table was beautifully set with beach themed champagne flutes, little beach tealights and lovely beach themed candles and holders. 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. For those that weren’t into seafood, we made sure we had plenty of steaks and chicken for them. We danced to some really great tunes and enjoyed the fantastic foods that were prepared and just had one heck of a beach party. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

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. My beach themed picture album has all the memories within its beautiful covers for me to enjoy anytime I want to look back on our special beach wedding and reception.
