Awesome wedding bells

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. There was such a wonderful collection of accessories to help plan our wedding and make our ceremony so perfect. There was everything for to pull off the perfect wedding ceremony and reception.

Starting with the invitations and ending with the perfect little thank you gifts, they had it all. 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 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.

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 wedding bell decoration. 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.

The accessories for our wedding ceremony wasn’t all I ordered, I also got our supplies for our reception there too. There was a marvelous selection of reception accessories to pick from. I wanted our reception tables to shine with elegance, so the first thing I ordered were the crystal toasting flutes. I chose the bride and groom toasting set for us and champagne flutes with elegant twisted stems for our friends and family. Wedding bell favors really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a nice gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.

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. Glass coasters was our choice of wedding favor gifts for our guests. They had a lovely calla lilie design on them that was absolutely beautiful. I put the wedding favors in little silver party favor boxes that came with thank you cards for each of them. The shiny gift boxes added that extra sparkle to our guests tables. 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. Chocolate and cherries three tiers high with a very lovely cake topper resting on top. I decided on a beautiful heart with calla lilies and ribbon as our cake topper. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding and reception. I had to go back online where I bought our wedding album and puchase a second album for all the pictures that were taken at the wedding and reception. We have quite a few pictures of the the cake cutting and sharing of the 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.

Awesome First Communion Party 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. Religious shops didn’t have exactly what I was looking for, especially in my price range. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. There were a lot of religious themed items that I chose for the tables, like these beautiful cross decorated votive candles. The teddy bears filled with candy were the first holy communion favors for the kids, and I picked out candies in pretty little tins for the adults. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.

The day we went shopping for her communion dress I couldn’t help but think of the day when we’ll be shopping for her wedding gown. It scares me a little to know that day will get here a lot sooner than I want it to. Her beautiful dress and veil made her look so much like a miniature bride. I suppose planning a party for her communion isn’t all that different from the someday wedding reception I’ll be helping her to plan. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. 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. 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.

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. At least when it does come to that, I’ll know where to send her for her wedding supplies and accessories for her reception. They have so much to offer in the first communion favor section and it’s the best place to shop, there is also whole line of wedding accessories. I know she’ll be able to find just about any kind of wedding accessories and favors she needs for her wedding day. They carry a lot more than communion favors and accessories for weddings. In fact, I saved this particular site to my desktop, because there are also quite a few suggestions for birthdays and graduations. They have accessories for baby showers, bridal showers and some great ideas for a girls night out parties. There were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. You will also find great selections of themed shower accessories, special birthday party themes and a lot of more choices for the kind of party you plan to have. 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.

Awesome Bridesmaid Gifts!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

There was an excellent choice of wedding accessories to choose from. I purchased almost all of the wedding and reception supplies from them. But when I was looking for the bridesmaid gifts, I couldn’t make up my mind which of the lovely items would be the best. They had a fantastic list of gifts to say thank you to my bridesmaids. My fiance chose exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts on his first look through the selection. He found some very nice shot glasses he liked and that was what he chose to buy for the guys. But I have to revisit the site everyday and check them all out again to try and pick out the best one.

I thought about ordering the beautiful jewelry boxes they have to offer, then I would see the gorgeous bracelet and start thinking about that gift. I didn’t have this much trouble choosing my wedding accessories and reception supplies. I knew exactly what I wanted for those items. I got all the bridal accessories I needed for our lovely fall themed wedding. All the bright vibrant colors of fall were in the accessories I chose for our fall wedding and reception. I chose my flower basket and ring bearer pillow that were made for the perfect fall wedding. I ordered everything I needed, including the flower basket and a gorgeous aisle runner.

They have some fantastic fall themed ideas for receptions that I really loved. 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. But I also ordered one for me as a little momento of our special wedding day. They were such lovely little glass coasters. When I chose our cake topper, it didn’t take me near as long as it did for all the other accessories. I went for the heart made of sparkling glass with which I had our names put on. If I were having a fairytale wedding though, I know exactly which topper I would have chosen. I would have been ordering the castle topper for a storybook wedding. It was really very pretty and would be perfect for a storybook reception.

It was so easy choosing the right accessories for our wedding ceremony and reception, so why is it so hard to pick out a unique bridesmaid gift? There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. You could even find gifts for bridesmaids that you could pick up at a discount. After a while I shortened my list of possiblities down to two. It was either going to be the lovely silver jewelry boxes or the exquisite silver bracelet. So now the debate was on with just the two gifts to choose from, and that took another week or so. After a very long debate with myself and a couple of more trips to the wedding accessory site, I made up my mind. I decided to buy both. They were each getting a beautiful silver bracelet and a just as beautiful jewelry box to keep it in. I think my bridesmaids are worth the extra gift, and it wasn’t all that expensive either.

Our wedding day was all I had hoped it would be. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun. 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 guys loved the shot glasses and my bridesmaid gifts were a success too. This day will live in my memory forever.

Great ideas for Wedding Cake Knife

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. 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 even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. There were so many themed ceremonies and reception parties to choose from. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding server 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. First I ordered the lovely wedding invitations for our wedding guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted everything to look as Cinderella like as possible. 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. There were flowers in tall vases placed around the altar and taper candles in fairy tale themed candle holders on each side of our beautiful unity candle.

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.

With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. 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. Another suggestion was to fill favor boxes with candies for the guests, and I chose little carriage style boxes for everyone.

All the reception tables looked elegant, but the wedding table of the bride and groom outshined them all. It gave the appearance of royalty to the reception. Our cake of five gorgeous tiers, with a fairytale wedding topper, sat at the end of our wedding table on a smaller table. While shopping for our other reception supplies I found the perfect fairytale cake topper there too. There was even a storybook wedding knife with lovely designs on the handle. The wedding cake server and knife was so lovely, I wanted to buy more things that matched! The set made a nice addition to the wedding cake and topper decoration.

After we were toasted with our lovely crystal champagne flutes, it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together as man and wife. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Other couples came up to dance as soon as the next song began. 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. Our guests let us know how much they appreciated the storybook wedding favors we had for each of them.

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

Great ideas for Bridal Accessories!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I started looking for all the accessories and supplies I needed for our wedding day, just as soon as we set the date. I’m a dedicated online shopper and so, of course, that’s the first place I went to find what I needed. I’m glad I did too, with all they had to offer there was no problem finding everything I needed to plan the perfect wedding and reception. From invitations to fantastic wedding favors gifts for our guests, they had it all.

We decided that a lovely theme wedding would be what we would like, and the theme we chose was a beach theme. We’ve always lived near the water, even as kids and it has been a favorite place of ours and our friends for years.

So the first thing I did was to order the beach themed wedding invitations and get them in the mail as soon as possible. There were no no’s in the RSVP’S, and they all seemed to be really looking forward to our wedding day. My bridal accessories were the next thing on my wedding list that I would need. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of discount bridal accessories. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It had little pearls and crystals entertwined and gave such a luxurious sparkle to my ensemble.

The quality of the bridal fashion jewelry I saw was fabulous – and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. A short wedding dress would have probably been the wiser choice, since we were getting married on the beach, but I had to have my full length dress. My bridesmaids and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. They were all so elegant, they could have been on the cover of a bridal magazine.

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. 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.

On the bride and groom table were our toasting flutes, lovely candles in their beach theme holders and lots of lovely tealights. 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. With all the items and bridal accessories they had available, it was easy to make this wedding and reception a total success. 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. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.

The first thing I had to do when we came home from our honeymoon was get out my wedding guest book I bought online and make out all the thank you notes for the people that shared our wedding day with us. That was a day I’ll always remember and I’ll have lots of photos in my beach wedding album to look at and relive again and again.

Great idea for sweet sixteen favors

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I was planning a birthday party for my daughter, who was turning sixteen and needed some suggestions. I was told by my friend that a good place for accessories was online where she got the supplies for her daughters party. So, I figured I’d see what they have. I was really surprised at what super favors and table decorations they had. I found a lot of nice stuff I can use for her party. I found these cute little cookie cutters in the shape of the number 16 and use it to make cookies for the party.

Before making any plans, I got her opinion on what she wanted for her party, and it was a party at the roller rink with all the girls sleeping over. So I made the arrangements, and reserved tables with the roller rink in our neighborhood. Then I invited all of her best girl friends. It didn’t cost as much as I thought it would. 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 put up decorations, fixed a table with a few goodies to snack on, along with the sweet 16 cookies I prepared earlier.

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. They all took a few pictures at the rink and wanted to save some film for the slumber party they were having afterwards.

Another party favor was a cosmetic bag with their first initial printed on the front. Along with that I also bought compact mirrors and manicure sets that matched their bags. I also sat out these adorable little favor boxes I bought online that were filled with candies for each guest. At home, her sweet sixteen idea and presents awaited, and we took care of that as soon as we got there. 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 danced for a while, then they gave each other manicures with their new sets, and of course, they did the make up thing. They were having a lot of fun together.

Finally, things started to quiet down and they broke out the popcorn and movies. I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible and just let them have a good time, but they asked me if I wanted to watch a movie with them. That was such a nice thing to ask me to join them. After the second movie, one by one, they started falling asleep. 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. I thought that was very thoughtful of them to do that for me. Most of the girls went home after a couple hours of hanging out with my daughter. As they were leaving, the girls thanked me for the wonderful time they had and all of the sweet 16 favors I bought for them. I like that my daughter and her friends now consider me to be a cool mom.

Great idea for summer wedding

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. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I was surprised at all the parks available for weddings.

I decided to go online and get some expert advice on how to plan the perfect outdoor wedding. If you’re going to have your ceremony outside, it’s a good idea to have an alternative plan just in case the weather turns on you. 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. Planning this wedding wasn’t all that hard, but there was a little more than I expected. There are some spectacular summer wedding ideas, but the sun can turn your beautiful wedding cake into a gooey pool of confection.

I found quite a few terrific accessories that I could use for the reception. As centerpieces for our reception tables I used citronella votive candles and place them in glass globes with flowers around them, and used park bench place card holders for each guest. The chrome bottle openers we bought for our guests were packaged in beautiful favors boxes and given out as a summer wedding invitation. 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 do customizing for the bride and groom. 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. All of our guests were so impressed with our topper, they couldn’t stop talking about it. All the wonderful accessories I ordered for our reception and wedding ceremony came from the same place, including our champagne flutes and silver cake set. You wouldn’t believe all the nice accessories you can buy online.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. The weather cooperated and we never had to go to plan “B” with the tents. We all loved the super DJ and the fantastic job he was doing, and if I’m right, he probably kept the music and dancing going on for quite a while after we left to go on our honeymoon. There were many good comments about our beautiful wedding ceremony and fun filled reception party we had. I couldn’t have picked a better place than the park for our wedding ceremony and reception party. If we should decide somewhere down the line to have a renewal wedding ceremony, I think I’d like to have it in the park again.

Dire Need of a Baby Shower Favor Idea…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I went right to my computer and started ordering from the same place I bought all the bridal shower decorations and favors from. I ordered everything from the same place I bought bridal favors, through my computer. There is so many great ideas and a variety of party items to select from. Then I started to search the net for baby shower favors supplies and picking out what decorations I could find there. There was quite a few great suggestions to work with. I found and ordered all everything I needed for our wedding decorations and right after I got them, I started decorating. I had all of my tables set up in a baby oriented décor. 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. The decorative accessories, which I bought online, looked really great and my guests were impressed with the way everything looked. 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.

Everyone liked the little baby bootie candles I had for cheap baby shower favors, and they thought the little favor boxes they came in were adorable too. I was really impressed with the supplies I bought, and the cute little baby gifts I bought from there too. I ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. One of the best things about buying online is that it’s so easy and convenient, not to mention the money I saved. They had almost everything I needed to throw a fantastic baby shower and all I had to do was order it all. 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 party favor. We played games, the mother to be opened presents and we all really enjoyed ourselves. One of the best games we played required filling baby bottles with something to drink. The winner of this bottle game is the player to empty her baby bottle first. 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. Whoever got the most right, wins a baby shower prize. I bought all the prizes the same place I bought all of my fantastic party accessories. Some of the prizes were things like candles, scented soaps and picture frames.

They have some very nice ideas for inexpensive little gifts for everything from weddings to baby showers. They also had accessories and supplies for graduation and birthday parties too.

Want to know how I found out about this site for baby showers and other party accessories? I know because this is the same site I bought all of my wedding accessories and decorations from.

You can find almost any kind of wedding acessories and reception supplies you need there. If you are looking for supplies and accessories for a destination wedding, or any themed ceremony, you can find it there. Doing online shopping was one of the best decision I ever made. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for party supplies.

Wonderful wedding pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Going online seemed like a good idea to find a wedding favor pen and other supplies. I was right – there were so many options, not just on styles and colors but on weddings as well! There were a lot of choices I was rather captured by, as far as themes for weddings and receptions. I thought since we were getting married in January it would be the perfect time for a beautiful winter wonderland wedding and reception party. At first, I kinda wished we were getting married in early December so we could have a Christmas wedding, with a big tree and everything Christmasy. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Next I had to get everything together for my beautiful wedding.

First I found the perfect winter wonderland wedding invitations to send to our friends and family. Next, I picked out the accessories for our ceremony, including the ring pillow and flower basket. I thought I had everything I needed for the perfect winter wonderland wedding, but I was wrong. I forgot all about the wedding guest book and wedding pen! Then I checked out all the winter guest books and wedding pen sets available until I found just the right one for our ceremony. Our wedding guest book had little snowflakes and hints of blue and little crystals placed on it. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. Now that I had our winter wedding guestbook and pen, it was time to find the perfect wedding photo album. Not only did they have a great selection of wedding albums, but some pretty nice anniversary albums too. I planned to keep this in mind for future references.

It was time now, to check out ideas for decorating our reception and getting our supplies. They had it all as far as winter wonderland wedding supplies, and the first thing I bought for the reception were the champagne flutes, designed to match our wedding guest book and pen. They 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 cake was five tiers high and covered in sugar snowflakes with blue and red designs of winter. We used a big silver sled design for our wedding cake stand. Our sled cake stand got a lot of compliments from our friends and family and I had to thank my fiance for that creative suggestion.

We had snowmen place card holders on the reception tables for all of our guests. There were also snowflake gel candles for everyones wedding favors gift. One of my favorite decorative accessories was the snowflake favor boxes we packaged their gifts in. They really made the tables look so festive. The wedding reception was a lot of fun and our friends and family seemed to like the personalized wedding pens we gave to them. I’m so glad everything turned out so perfect, and I owe it to the great help I got from online shopping. It really helped out a lot with the planning and decorating.

Wonderful wedding album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Once we decided on a beach wedding, I started looking for all my accessories and supplies they had in a beach motif. The first thing to get was the invitations for our beach themed wedding. 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. 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. 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. I picked out a gorgeous spaghetti strapped dress made of satin and lace with beautiful little beads scattered around it, in a knee length.

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. Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic and the bouquets were absolutely the most beautiful arrangements I could have found.

I wish now,with all the photos of our wedding being taken, that I would have bought two albums for wedding, instead of only one. 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. Although a few of our wedding party went home to change into their beach clothes, there were some that decided to just wear their swimsuits under their wedding clothes. We told all of our guests to dress casually.

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 place card holders I chose were these miniature beach chairs that can later be used as photo frames. I think our friends and family thought they were cute, I know I did. They also had beach wedding favors that I just had to have for our guests. I chose adorable tea lights that looked just like sand castles to remind them of our beach party. There was so many terrific accessories and beach décor for our reception tables and our wedding table. I not only bought our beach themed wedding cake topper there, but also the cake knife server set, beautiful crystal champagne glasses and lovely wine glasses too.

A lot of our friends and family made comments about out lovely reception décor. Adding to the oceanside atmosphere were lots of gel candles I bought from them to put on our reception tables, and a few tiki torches were placed around the area. 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.

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