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.
