Curious about Wedding Bells Favors…

April 28th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

You could hear the remarkable wedding bells ring as we headed for our limo, with our guests yelling their good wishes and tossing rose petals our way. That’s how it was on our wedding day. 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. On the front of our invitations was silver printing which added to the elegance of the card. There was a gorgeous flower girl basket and ring pillow among all the accessories that I decided to buy for our ceremony. It came in a beautiful garnet, and there was also a guestbook and pen set, and a very lovely wedding garter. Five items bought as a group, that cost a lot less than you would think.

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 the wedding bell. 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 didn’t just order things for my ceremony, I also ordered everything I needed for our reception too. There were all kinds of wonderful ideas for our wedding reception. 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. I ordered special flutes for us that said bride and groom on them, and beautiful twisted stemmed flutes for all of our guests. Wedding silver bells really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a astonishing gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.

There were so many lovely accessories, that I really wanted to buy them all, but that would have been going a little overboard on the décor. 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 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. Three tiers of luscious chocolate and cherries with a gorgeous wedding cake topper as the crowning glory. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. The reception was fantastic, as was the wedding ceremony. 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. There were several pictures of us cutting the wedding cake and feeding that first piece to each other. 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. Someday I’d like to have a renewal ceremony and reception for our anniversary and thank goodness, my husband agrees.

Top-Notch First Holy Communion Favors!

April 28th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to find a astonishing communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual touch 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 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 party favors. I found the most remarkable little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.

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. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. 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. We had a cake decorated for the occasion, hired a band and made a buffet of different foods for the guests. 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. Like I said before we wanted to keep things as simple as possible and not go overboard, so me and some of the other moms made the food, and the only thing I ordered for it was the cake. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. Her father and I had her name engraved on a beautiful gold cross we ordered for her, and there were many wonderful communion gifts she received from our guests, too.

All through the party I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was practicing for the day she grows up and gets married. She’s growing up so fast and before you know it I will be helping her plan her wedding day and picking out reception accessories with her, for real. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and communion party favor, right here on my computer. She’ll have plenty of accessories and wedding favors to choose from at my favorite online shopping site. They carry a lot more than communion favors and accessories for weddings. 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 are all kinds of themed wedding accessories too, beautiful beach wedding accessories, gorgeous winter wonderland supplies and the perfect items for a big country western wedding and reception. 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. That’s why I’m hanging on to my online shopping site, I know I’ll be using it quite often.

The Best Bridesmaid Gift I’ve Ever Seen!

April 28th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

All the wedding accessories I checked out were super. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. But with all they had to choose from for bridesmaid gifts, I had a hard time making a final decision. They had a fantastic list of gifts to say thank you to my bridesmaids. My fiance had no problem finding exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts. 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’d decide on the jewelry boxes and then the lovely bracelet they have would side track me and I’d start considering that. I’m glad it wasn’t this difficult choosing my accessories for my wedding and reception. My mind was already made up on the supplies and accessories. There were many fantastic accessories I ordered for my wedding and reception with a fall theme. They had everything to go with the fall colors and décor I wanted. They had flower baskets and ring pillows in beautiful fall designs. Not only did I order all of my accessories for the reception, but I sent for my flower girl basket and added on a beautiful aisle runner as well.

There reception ideas for fall accessories were really sensational. Not only were there lovely place card holders, but really exquisite wedding favors and boxes for packaging them in. Our friends and family are going to love the favors we bought for them. 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. When I chose our cake topper, it didn’t take me near as long as it did for all the other accessories. 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 simply fell in love with the castle topper. It was truly elegant and would have made the perfect choice for a fairytale theme.

It was so easy choosing the right accessories for our wedding ceremony and reception, so why is it so hard to pick out a astonishing bridesmaids gift? There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. There were remarkable bridesmaid gift ideas that looked expensive, but was very reasonably priced. 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. I had to make my decision, and I tried to hurry with it as fast as I could, but it took a few more days to do so. But low and behold, I did make that decision. My final decision was to give my bridesmaids the jewelry box and the lovely bracelet. Each of my bridesmaids were getting a silver jewelry box and a silver bracelet as my thank you gift. Why not, it’s not that expensive and I feel they deserve it.

Thankfully, everything turned out fantastic for our wedding day. 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 liked the shot glasses and my girls said they loved the bridesmaids gifts we had for them too. This was the best day of my life.

Our Wedding Knife Server Matched Our Theme!

April 26th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

I looked at a lot of wedding options before I decided I wanted to have a themed wedding and reception. So, now all that was left was to do was decide what theme sounded like the one I’d like to have. The country western theme seemed like it would be lots of fun. I even considered having a barn dance for our reception party. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could swim, party on the beach and enjoy a lovely sunset. There were a lot of themed weddings and receptions to consider. There were all kinds of accessories and supplies for themed weddings, from decorations to a astonishing wedding server. Even though I found a lot of themed wedding ideas I liked, I chose the fantastic looking fairytale theme.

Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. Of course the very first thing to do is get the invitations for our friends and family. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. The decorations for the church were the first thing I wanted to get. We used satin bows on the end of each pew row and draped a tulle swag from row to row. Our unity candle had tapered candles in storybook holders on each side of our storybook unity candle, and several flowers in vases placed around the altar.

As our guests entered the church they signed their names in our fairytale themed guestbook, which was absolutely gorgeous. This was the most beautiful storybook wedding ceremony I could have ever wished for. The flower girl and ring boy did a wonderful job at the wedding ceremony and really looked elegant in their wedding attire. 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. Little castle place card holders were placed at every guests table. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

Even though all of our reception tables were gorgeous, our wedding table was the most breathtaking. It had all the elegance of a king and queen. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. I found the most exquisite storybook wedding cake topper for our reception at the same place I bought all our other reception supplies. There was even a storybook wedding knife with remarkable designs on the handle. I wanted the complete wedding knife set instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. Our wedding cake and topper were complimented by the lovely knife set next to it.

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. Our favorite song is by all for one and is “ I Swear” and that’s the one we danced to. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. With all the photos that were taken, my storybook wedding album will be filled with memories in no time. Just before we left for our honeymoon, some of the guests thanked us for the lovely fairytale wedding favors we gave them.

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

The Best Bridal Accessory

April 26th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

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. 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. We’ve always lived near the water, even as kids and it has been a favorite place of ours and our friends for years.

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. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my bridal accessories I would need. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of brides accessories. The first thing ordered was the astonishing hair comb and tiara to wear on my wedding day. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.

The quality of the bride accessory 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. 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.

There were torches around the reception area and the dance floor was lit up with little white lights we had strung around. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. As wedding favors I wanted to give them something special from the seaside collection, so I chose the beach themed photo frames for each of them. I think they all liked the frames as much as I did.

On the bride and groom table were our toasting flutes, lovely candles in their beach theme holders and lots of lovely tealights. Everything at our wedding reception came with a beach theme décor, including our fantastic wedding 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. 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. We all had a wonderful time enjoying good food and good music to dance too. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

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. 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.

Sweet sixteen ideas for Your daughter!

April 21st, 2009 butcher909 No comments

I was planning a birthday party for my daughter, who was turning sixteen soon and needed some suggestions. My friend found quite a few party accessories and supplies online for her daughters celebration. 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 was able to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 as one of the snacks for her party with the cookie cutters I ordered.

I talked to my daughter and got her views on what type of party she wanted to have, and she decided on a roller skating and slumber birthday party. I then made reservations at the roller rink in town. Then I invited all of her best girl friends. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. They offered pizza, hot dogs and soft drinks at a very reasonable price. At home I had everything set up for the party to continue. I put out the cookies I had made, along with a few other snacks, and set up birthday decorations.

I ordered more than the cookie cutters when I went shopping online. Since this birthday party wasn’t costing me what I thought it would, I decided to order a few sweet sixteen favors for the girls. Each of the girls got a disposable camera to take pictures of this evenings event and a pink photo album to store them in. They all knew about the cameras, so they could take pictures at the roller rink, but they had no clue about the albums I bought for them. I’m glad they only took a few pictures at the skating rink, so they would be able to take pictures of the sleepover too.

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 bought festive little favor boxes and filled them with candies for each of the girls. We left the rink and went home to have her sweet sixteen favor and watch her open her presents. 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. You could tell they were all having a fantastic time.

After they tired themselves out, they decided to put on a movie and grab the popcorn. 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. I thought that was so sweet of them to ask. After the second movie, one by one, they started falling asleep. Now it was down to just me and my daughter and she didn’t make it very long. Just before she closed her eyes, she let me know how much she appreciated her super birthday party.

When I got up in the morning the girls were already downstairs and had eaten, then straightened up everything from the party. 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 astonishing  sweet 16 favors I bought for them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

The right summer wedding ideas!

April 21st, 2009 butcher909 No comments

Planning an outside wedding wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. In fact, it didn’t cost as much as an indoor wedding would have cost us. Since we had the flowers and mother nature everywhere, I didn’t have to spend a lot of money on decorations. The first thing on my agenda was to find that astonishing  place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. 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 several perfect parks that would work fine for our wedding day.

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 thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and didn’t look artificial at all. Although planning wasn’t as difficult a chore as I thought, there were quite a few things to take care of. Even though some summer wedding invitations are remarkable, the heat can totally destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

There was a variety of accessories available for the outdoor 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 favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

I found it while browsing online for my other wedding accessories, and fell in love with it. 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. What a wonderful momento of our wedding day. Our friends and family were really loved the cake topper and gave us a lot of compliments on 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.

Well, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was just as perfect. 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. The park turned out to be the perfect place to have our wedding and reception. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.

Ideas baby shower favors

April 21st, 2009 butcher909 No comments

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. Plenty of ideas and a great variety of party items can be found there. So I went online and started picking out all of the astonishing baby shower favors supplies and decorations I could find. I found many good suggestion there. I found and ordered all everything I needed for our wedding decorations and right after I got them, I started decorating. All tables was set up with baby in mind. 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. Just for my unborn niece, I decorated the cake with pink icing and other small cake decorations. The cake topper was fantastic too,with different colored baby blocks. It was a great looking cake, and the decorations turned out perfectly for it.

The baby bootie candles I chose as cheap baby shower favors were the best gift. I not only found all the decorations and accessories I needed, but I found some adorable baby gifts too. Along with a pretty little pink baby photo album, I bought baby blankets and a layette set too. I saved money and it was so easy to buy everything I needed online. They had almost everything I needed to throw a fantastic baby shower and all I had to do was order it all. I found the cutest little bingo game that was perfect for the party. This is where you can find really great accessories for your baby shower.

My baby shower party turned out to be a great success and all my guests seemed impressed with their baby shower party favor. We played a lot of games, watched our mother to be open all of her presents and just had an all around wonderful time. One of my favorite games was filling baby bottles with a drink and giving one to each guest. Then when someone saids go, each person must drink from their baby bottle until it’s empty and the first one done wins the game. 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. Whoever got the most right, wins a baby shower prize. I ordered all the prizes when I ordered my party supplies and 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. There is even accessories for graduation and birthday parties as well.

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. They have accessories and supplies for many themed weddings too, even for destination weddings. Doing online shopping was one of the best decision I ever made. I’ll use this site for all of my future parties.

A great Wedding Guest Book Pen?

April 20th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

I decided to go online to find a astonishing wedding guest pen for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! There were tons of wedding themes you could choose from, as well as styles and colors of decorations and accessories. I found some pretty neat ideas I liked for themed weddings and receptions, that I really liked. Since our ceremony is in January, I thought a winter wonderland wedding and reception would be ideal. When I think of a Christmas wedding ceremony, with a tree and decorations, I almost which we had chosen December as our wedding date. But from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. A winter wedding was the one I chose. Now it was time to put my plans in motion.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. Next, I picked out the accessories for our ceremony, including the ring pillow and flower basket. I was sure I picked out all the accessories I had to have for our winter wedding, but that wasn’t the case. I didn’t remember the wedding 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. There were snowflakes, hints of blue and perfect little crystals on the cover of our winter wedding guestbook. Along with our lovely winter themed guestbook was the winter themed wedding pens to match. Since I was looking for the perfect guest book and pen, I decided to choose our photo album too. Not only did they have a great selection of wedding albums, but some pretty nice anniversary albums too. I could use this selection in a few years too.

Now I was ready to move on to the supplies and decorations I needed for our wedding reception. I thought they had quite a few great winter wedding accessories but I was really surprised to find our champagne flutes with the same design on the stems as they had on our guestbook and pen. They were so fantastic looking. With all the beautiful crystal champagne flutes, the gel candles and the exceptional looking centerpieces I picked out, our reception tables were simply elegant. Another great thing about the place I got all my wedding accessories and reception supplies is that they had quite a few items at discount prices, which really helps a couple just starting out. 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. Our cake topper showed a bride and groom in a whimsical winter activity. Our wedding cake was a five tiered with white sugar snowflakes and winter designs of icy blue and reds. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. 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.

On our the reception tables for our friends and family I had chosen these adorable little snowmen place card holders. I also chose wedding favors that were little snowflake gel candles for our guests. One of my favorite decorative accessories was the snowflake favor boxes we packaged their gifts in. They really made the tables look so festive. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and the personalized wedding pens were remarkable! 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. It gave me a lot of help for planning the décor.

Great Albums For a Wedding!

April 20th, 2009 butcher909 No comments

Once we decided on a beach wedding, I started looking for all my accessories and supplies they had in a beach motif. First things first, I bought our beach themed wedding invitations. 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. Now that the invitations were in the mail, it was time to find my beautiful beach wedding dress. There were so many options for beach wedding dresses and gowns, that it was a tough decision to make. I was unsure about the two full length wedding gowns I found, I didn’t want to be uncomfortable at my 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.

My bridesmaids looked so lovely in their haltered beach dresses of cool linen with a crocheted bodice. My handsome groom wore a sky blue linen shirt and white linen pants and his groomsmen wore white linen shirts with sand colored linen pants. Our flower girl wore an adorable little sundress and the ringboy stayed nice and cool in his little khaki shorts and white cotton shirt. Everyone in the wedding party looked fantastic and the bouquets were absolutely the most beautiful arrangements I could have found.

I kept thinking how I should have bought two albums for wedding, because I wanted lots of pictures of our astonishing beach wedding and reception. 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. When the ceremony was over, my new husband and I went to our hotel room to change into some more comfortable beach outfits. 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. The place card holders I chose were these miniature beach chairs that can later be used as photo frames. The guests seemed to like them, and I thought they were just adorable. The beach wedding favors I chose for our guests made the perfect little thank you gifts. We bought them little tea lights in the shape of sand castles to represent our oceanside reception. 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.

There were a lot of nice comments made by our guests on how lovely everything looked. To help add to the atmosphere, I also bought some of their beautiful gel candles and placed them on all the tables, along with a few tiki torches here and there. With all the accessories and supplies for the wedding and beach party reception, it made planning so much easier. The beautiful ocean whitecaps and the warm sandy beach made the perfect dream wedding and reception location.

Now I sit here and relive that unforgettable day by enjoying all the photos I have in our beautiful beach leather wedding photo album.
