Lewd Wedding

   I love crystal everything. My house is filled with every bit of crystal I can find. From crystal glassware to crystal figurines, and I made sure there was plenty of crystal on all of my wedding reception tables. I think it just makes everything sparkle and adds a touch of elegance to any occasion. I worked so hard at planning the perfect wedding ceremony and reception. This was going to be one of the most important days of my life and I wanted it all. I wanted our wedding and reception to be as elegant as a royal wedding, and one that people would talk about for a long time to come.

   The words simple and plain have never been in my vocabulary before and I certainly wasn’t about to add them in now. I bought the most gorgeous wedding gown I could find with a long flowing veil and tiara. All of my bridesmaids, maid of honor and even my flower girl had long satiny dresses and tiaras. The bouquets were perfect too, and my bouquet was made up of red and white roses, which are my favorite. The groomsmen looked so sophisticated and handsome as they escorted the bridesmaids down the aisle. Our little ring boy looked like a miniature groom as he carried the rings on his pillow and walked so carefully as if he were carrying the crown jewels in his hands. The best man looked very sharp too, but of course, the best looking of them all was my adorable husband to be.

   The wedding was wonderful and filled with a lot of teary eyes, including mine, as we said our vows to each other. After the priest pronounced us husband and wife, and we started to walk back down the aisle, my little flower girl got a little confused and jumped up in front of us and began throwing what was left of the silk rose petals onto the aisle. We let her go, no one had the heart to tell her she was done with her part in the ceremony. Actually we all got a big kick out of it, and it made her feel so special.

   My reception tables looked so fantastic, that even I was surprised at the gorgeous décor. Along with our wedding cake were our crystal champagne toasting flutes, and a very special silver cake serving set. The centerpieces were beautiful crystal bubble bowls with a gorgeous bouquet in each one. There were bottles of champagne for all the guests and of course they each had their own champagne toasting flute to raise to the bride and groom. At each place setting were place cards in silver place card holders and decorative little boxes that held a thank you gift for our friends and family that chose to share this very important occasion with us. In each one of those favor boxes were,( you guessed it ) elegant crystal champagne favors. I just have no control. But everyone liked their thank you gifts and we all had a fantastic time dancing, laughing and just enjoying each others company.

   After the bouquet and garter toss it was getting time for me and my brand new husband to head out for our honeymoon. We spent a whole week in one of the places I’ve always wanted to visit, Athens Greece. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Now we’re back home, and I’ve already started saving money for our second honeymoon. This time we are going to Spain. I love being married.

   I never thought of a serving set being available in so many different styles and themes. I guess I thought they all looked a like, maybe some more fancier than others, but I never thought about them coming in so many themes. I’m having a beach wedding and there are a lot of beach themed accessories and supplies I found that are more than perfect for my ceremony and reception.

   Our wedding invitations were so elegant with pearlized starfish and beautiful printing telling all about our beautiful beach wedding and reception. I found so many items that were perfect for our oceanside ceremony and beach party. My whole reception had beach themed items from our lovely beach cake topper with the beachcomber bride and groom, to the lovely little tealights that lined all the reception tables. We had champagne flutes with stems that were sand colored with tiny little seashells decoratively wrapped around them, gorgeous centerpieces and beach themed placecard holders that also served as little picture frames with a seashell design. They were really quite lovely, I even ordered a couple of them for myself.

   Everything at our reception was decorated especially for a beautiful ocean side wedding. I was pretty sure I could find a lot of beach themed accessories and decorations, since beach weddings have become so popular these days. But I must admit I was surprised to find wedding cake serving sets that were so perfect for this type of reception.

   I was sure getting married by the water would be wonderfully romantic, but I had no idea just how much. Standing under the beautiful satin canopy, speaking our vows, with the blue of the ocean in the background was more than any bride could hope for. The pictures that the photographer took were fantastic, but they could never do it justice. It was a breath taking scene that will stay in my memory forever.

   After the ceremony we cut our beautiful cake with our gorgeous wedding cake serving set, and everyone toasted the bride and groom.  Then the real party began. We had our bride and grooms first dance right there on the beach, barefoot in the warm sand, with the waves crashing behind us. It was so romantic. After a while, everyone was kicking off their sandles and flip flops and joined us on our sandy dance floor. We had such a great time dancing, laughing and even singing songs at a couple of bonfires we had going. I just knew this was a wedding reception no one would forget.

   As wedding favors we gave out gorgeous little crystal sailboats as thank you gifts and keepsakes of our beach themed wedding and reception. I kept one of those for myself too. A girl has to have mementos of such an important occasion, and I have lots of them for my memory box. I started with one of our beach invitations, some of the accessories for our tables and now one of the wedding favors. I intend to have lots of memories of my special day to look at whenever I want.

   We had a more than fantastic honeymoon too. We went to Dublin, Ireland where my husbands ancestors are from. Talk about one of the most beautiful places on earth, this is it. What gorgeous countryside, and the people are so friendly. We had a wonderful week in the land of the leprechuans, but now that we’re back I have to find another big box for all the souvenirs I have from our honeymoon. What can I say, I’m a pack rat.

   After the kids are grown and out on their own with families of their own, wouldn’t it be nice to have a way to store all the fond memories you have of them growing up? The day you brought them home from the hospital, that first tooth, the kindergarten graduation, all these moments and many more are memories you want to hold on to.  That’s why memory books are so great. They make wonderful baby and wedding shower gifts too. There is all different styles and types of books for almost any important occasion, and the great part is you can also order refills if you need to add more pages.

  There are memory guest books for parties and wedding showers that are absolutely exquisite in design. When I had my baby showers I kept all the beautiful books that was given to me. I have a pink memory book from the shower for my first born, and two blue ones from the birth of my sons. Their names and date of births are written on the front. It has a list of all the names of the people that attended the showers and what gifts they gave the babies. I’ve also recorded so many important memories in these books and every once in a while I take them out and just go through them and remember all the wonderful things I shared with my little ones. Baby memory books are something every mother should have. They can give you years of enjoyment.

   I also have books from my wedding shower and wedding reception. All the girls that attended my shower is listed in one of these pages. Every shower gift I got is also recorded in there along with every memorable moment of my party.  The one I got for my wedding reception had a lovely ivory satin covering on it with a attractive love knot made with satin ribbon. I know there are many different styles you can buy, from sophisticated and elegant to themed books, like Celtic, western and even memory books for seasonal weddings.

  I know how much my books mean to me, so when my sister had her bridal shower I bought her a beautiful brocade monogrammed book, with over 200 pages for her to fill in. I had so many to choose from to buy for her, that it was a hard decision to make. I almost bought one with Italian lace on the cover, but I really fell in love with the brocade and I liked the fact that I could get it with her initials embroidered in. Since I had decided to buy this wedding book, I figured I might as well get a head start on her baby shower, I’m sure she’ll have one someday. So, I checked out all the baby books too, and found some adorable choices to pick from. Since this occasion is far into the future, there’s no way of knowing if she will have a girl or boy, I decided to buy one of each. I know that sounds a little crazy and slightly premature, but I couldn’t resist them. They are so adorable, and I wanted to make sure that when the time comes, I’m prepared. Besides, if she only has one child, I’m sure I can find someone who’s having a baby that I can give it to as a gift.

   So, remember if you are looking for something to give a mother to be or a bride to be, baby and wedding memory books make great gifts.

     I just started planning my wedding. This was the happiest time of my life. There was a lot of planning to do and I knew I needed some help in the planning. My sister offered to help me with the planning of my wedding. I was so glad and relieved that she offered to help me plan my wedding. We had a lot of work ahead of us and very little time. Not to mention also the high cost of everything. I wrote a list on all the things that I needed to purchase. As we were going through the list we would compare prices and that helped in saving money. We did a lot of searching for items and got a lot accomplished. During our search when we were looking at wedding garters, my sister offered to make them instead of me purchasing them. I thought what a great idea. Plus I knew it would be better because it was made by her and I knew she would put a lot of love in it while she was making them.

     Our first thing was to decide what look we wanted. I did not want cheap garters. I wanted elegant and sexy looking garters. I did some research and what a hard decision that was. There are so many gorgeous styles out there. I had to make up my mind on the style of the wedding garters because time was running out and she had to have the time to make them. We finally decided on the garter that was my keepsake to be wider and the one that I was going to toss would be smaller in width. My wedding garter would be made out of chiffon and satin with also a satin bow and jewelry in the shape of two hearts. The other wedding garter that is used for the toss will be the same but in a smaller width.

     Now it was time to find the right color and to match it to my wedding dress. That was a task in its self. This took some time because of all the different colors of white. We finally found the right color of white to match my wedding dress. Now we had to find the right color in the ribbon. Again there were so many colors of white and it took some time to get a perfect match. Our next step was to find the jewelry that had two hearts. This took some time finding. We looked in craft stores and could not find them. Then we looked online and finally after some time we did find them.

     Now all are searching and purchasing was done and it was time to sew the wedding garters. My sister took the measurements of my leg to get a perfect fit. She was finished in no time. I could not wait to see them. She made me wait until she was done sewing them before I could see them.  The time arrived, my bridal garter was finished and so was the other garter that you toss. I was so excited that I could not wait to try it on. When I finally saw them and tried them on, I could not believe how gorgeous and elegant they looked. I had a hard time taking them off.

     I am so glad that my sister helped me plan my wedding and most importantly how she took the time and made my wedding garters. My keepsake garter will remind me of the love she put in it. It will always be a memory in how she helped me plan my special day.

   I found wedding favors, groomsmen gifts, bridesmaid gifts and so much more at prices we could actually afford. With all the wedding ceremony accessories and wedding reception supplies that we needed to buy, we were really concerned that we wouldn’t be able to pull this off financially. Wedding attire for the ceremony wasn’t exactly cheap, although we did get decent prices for everything. Then you’ve got to consider the décor of the ceremony and reception, all the rentals on tables and chairs, music, food and our gorgeous wedding cake and that’s just to name a few of the wedding items we still had to get.

   Lucky for us, a friend of mine at work told me about a place where I could get most of my supplies wholesale.  She said they carried a great selection of wedding accessories and reception supplies at discount prices.  So we decided to check it out.  She was right on the mark, we found so many things on our list and it didn’t cost us a fortune. There were a lot of wedding favor gifts to choose from along with beautifully designed favor boxes and hang tags. They even have themed favors and boxes that were more than affordable.  My fiance found exactly what he wanted to give all his guys in the wedding party and even a very special gift for his best man. I looked through quite a selection of great cheap bridesmaid gift ideas that I knew everyone of my girls would appreciate.  They were so tastefully designed and just perfect for my bridesmaids and my maid of honor. There were even childrens gifts for the flower girl and ring boy, and the best part is they were extremely affordable.

   Since they had such great deals in wedding accessories and reception supplies, we decided to get everything we needed from there. The wedding cake toppers were gorgeous and some had a whimsical side to them, to help get your reception off to a good start.  That’s the one we chose, we wanted our reception to be combined with love and laughter, and it was. Everyone got a kick out of the funny cake topper that crowned our beautiful wedding cake.

   They had everything from reception decorations to crystal champagne flutes and some very exquisite wine glasses too. Our wedding reception tables shined with crystal and silver and all had lovely unique centerpieces on each one.  The place card holders were so adorable and probably could have been used as wedding favors, but since we saved so much money on everything, we decided to get everyone a separate wedding favor and they could have the place card holders as an extra keepsake of our wedding.

   I thought about getting the girls in my wedding party a lovely necklace, but after looking at all the unique bridesmaid gifts I decided on something a little different. I had each of their names engraved on them and each of them seemed very happy with their little gift. I’m so glad we found this place. It not only saved us a lot of money, but it also helped to make our reception a big success.  There are so many ideas for wedding receptions there, and all of them are pretty fantastic.

   Everyone had a wonderful time at the reception and I not only sent out thank you cards for all the super wedding gifts our friends and families gave us, but I also received cards from our guests, thanking us for the terrific time they had at our reception and the fabulous gifts we gave them. I know where I’m shopping for our anniversary party supplies one year from now.
