Super Wedding Bell Favors…

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

You could hear the wedding bells ring as we headed for our limo, with our guests yelling their good wishes and tossing rose petals our way. That was the type of wedding ceremony we had. I have to say, it was a fantastic ceremony too, and with all the help I got on accessory suggestions, it wasn’t hard to put it all together. There was everything for to pull off the perfect wedding ceremony and reception.

From the wedding invitations to the wedding favors for our guests, they had everything. The silver print was a lovely touch to our invitations. There was a gorgeous flower girl basket and ring pillow among all the accessories that I decided to buy for our ceremony. It was actually more than the basket and pillow, it also had my wedding garter, guest book and pen set, in a gorgeous rich garnet. 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. The process of selecting wedding bell was really a great one. After we were pronounced man and wife, everyone at the ceremony rang their little bells as we walked back down the aisle. I really liked the idea of the bell ringing.

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 to make our reception tables sparkle, so I ordered as much crystal as I could get away with, starting with crystal champagne flutes. I chose the bride and groom toasting set for us and champagne flutes with elegant twisted stems for our friends and family. As an extra wedding favor for our friends and family I decided to choose wedding silver bells.

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 put the wedding favors in little silver party favor boxes that came with thank you cards for each of them. The silver favor boxes, along with all the other accessories on the tables, really added to the décor. There were also some very unique centerpieces on our reception tables, made up of flowers and candles, that I bought online.

The wedding cake we had set up at the end of the reception hall was really spectacular. 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. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. There were so many shots of us with our wedding cake and the traditional cutting and sharing of the very first piece. There were also pictures of our first dance together as man and wife, our guests on the dance floor and an adorable picture of the flower girl and ring boy dancing together.

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.

Super Communion Party Favors!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to give out communion favors that would have a religious theme to them. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. 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 communion party favors. I decided to get each guest an extra gift and ordered religious photo frames too. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.

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 guess in a way when you are planning a communion party it’s a little bit like planning a wedding reception. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We didn’t want to lose the fact of the importance of this special day, but we also wanted to make this party a memorable one. We had lots of pictures taken at the party and we bought her a beautiful pink album for storing the memories of her communion day. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Just a nice dinner to share with our friends and loved ones. This party really meant a lot to our daughter and all of us had such a lovely time. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.

All during the party I was picturing her wedding day and I could see my little girl walking down the aisle to join her husband to be. 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 she’s ready to start planning her wedding and reception, I’ll know the perfect place for her to go shopping. Not only do they have a fantastic communion favor section, but they have pretty nice wedding supplies too. She’ll have plenty of accessories and wedding favors to choose from at my favorite online shopping site. I sort of gave the site the once over and checked out some of the items they have, and there is quite a selection for all kinds of events. I hung onto this website because I can use their accessories and decoration selections for birthdays and graduations I’ll be planning in the future. They have accessories for baby showers, bridal showers and some great ideas for a girls night out parties. 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.

Super nice Bridesmaids Gift

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. I bought most of my wedding supplies and reception decorations there. But with all they had to choose from for bridesmaid gifts, I had a hard time making a final decision. There were so many lovely ideas for thank you gifts for the bridesmaids. My fiance had no problem finding exactly what he wanted for his groomsmen gifts. He found some very nice shot glasses he liked and that was what he chose to buy for the guys. But I must have gone over this selection of gifts a hundred times and still couldn’t make a choice.

At first I chose the jewelry boxes, then as soon as I spotted the bracelets, I’d change my mind and decide on ordering that. I’m glad it wasn’t this difficult choosing my accessories for my wedding and reception. I already had what I wanted, in mind, for those accessories. There were many fantastic accessories I ordered for my wedding and reception with a fall theme. All the accessories had the lovely autumn colors to add to the fall motif. I chose my flower basket and ring bearer pillow that were made for the perfect fall wedding. 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. There were place cards and holders, wedding favor boxes and some of the most beautiful wedding favor gifts I’ve ever seen. 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. I never knew glass coasters could be so lovely as the ones I chose for the wedding favors. I also bought our wedding cake topper from there and had no problem picking out the one I liked the best. Even though my first choice would have been the fairytale topper, I chose an exquisite heart with our names added. If a storybook were to be our wedding theme, there was one storybook topper I would definitely have used. 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.

If I had no problems choosing all my accessories and reception supplies, why did I have such a hard time picking a cheap bridesmaid gift? There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. You could even find gifts for bridesmaid that you could pick up at a discount. After about a week of going back and forth with all the gifts available, I narrowed it down to two. It was a toss up between the gorgeous jewelry boxes or the bracelets. So now the debate was on with just the two gifts to choose from, and that took another week or so. But I did finally decided on what I was going to do. 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.

I was so happy that our wedding day turned out to be so perfect. The wedding ceremony and reception was just a dream come true. Our friends and family really liked the wedding favors they received and made comments on the lovely ceremony we had. The guys loved the shot glasses and my bridesmaid gifts were a success too. This day will live in my memory forever.

Super Wedding Cake Knife

Monday, April 27th, 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. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. 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 gorgeous wedding server. With all the themed wedding suggestions they had, I decided to go with the gorgeous fairytale wedding.

Once I estabished that I was going with the storybook idea, I started looking for accessories and supplies. The first thing I bought was the wedding invitations for our guests. Next, it was time to choose the wedding decorations and accessories I wanted for our ceremony and reception. I wanted to have a Cinderella atmosphere to the whole thing. The decorations for the church were the first thing I wanted to get. Tulle swags were draped from each row of pews with a bow of satin pinned on each end. 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.

I also had a unique fairytale wedding guestbook for everyone to sign when they entered the church. Our fairytale wedding ceremony was everything I had hoped for and more. The flower girl was so cute, and the ring boy looked very handsome as they perfectly performed their duties 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.

All the tables at the reception were sparkling with crystal and silver and the entire reception hall was lavishly decorated with flowers. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. The place card holders on the guests tables were adorable little castles. I also got the idea to purchase little carriage favor boxes and fill them with candies for each guest at their tables.

Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. It was a table fit for a king and his queen. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. 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. I wanted the complete wedding knife and server instead of just a plain knife because I wanted it to be special. The knife set just added to the décor of our wedding cake and topper.

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. We danced to our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. 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. Just before we left for our honeymoon, some of the guests thanked us for the lovely fairytale wedding favors we gave them.

Don’t ever let someone tell you that fairytales can’t come true, it did for us.

Super Brides Accessories

Monday, April 27th, 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 an online shopaholic, so, my first course of action was to hit the web. With all the great accessories and reception supplies I found online, it was easy to find what I needed for our wedding. 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. 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. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my bridal accessories I would need. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection of wholesale bridal accessories they had to offer. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. The wedding jewelry I found was just as gorgeous as the hair accessories I chose. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.

The quality of the bridal fashion jewelry I saw was fabulous – 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. 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 tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. 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. Everyone seemed to like the gifts they received.

There were tealights and candles to light up our beautifully set bridal table and lovley beach themed flutes for the wedding toast. 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. 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. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

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.

Special sweet sixteen favors…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My daughter is turning sixteen and I was looking for some unique ideas for her party. 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 decided to check it out. It was surprising to find so many ideas for party supplies for the tables and little gifts. There were a lot of accessories I found that would be perfect for her party. There were cookie cutters I used to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 for her guests.

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. I sent all of her girl friends special party invitations. 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. I got the house prepared for the party that was to continue after skating. 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 I was getting by so cheap with this party, I ordered extra gifts from the selection of sweet sixteen favors for her and her friends. I ordered some adorable pink photo albums for all the girls, and disposable cameras for them to take pictures of the party. I gave them the cameras before we left for the roller rink, but they had no idea about the albums until later. Even though they took a lot of photos at the roller rink, they all saved some picture taking for the sleepover.

Another party favor was a cosmetic bag with their first initial printed on the front. With the cosmetic bags I bought manicure sets and little purse mirrors to go with it. 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 party favor and presents awaited, and we took care of that as soon as we got there. There were plenty of snacks and drinks, girlie teen movies for them to watch, so they were good to go for the evening. 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.

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. They actually made it through the first two movies before they started nodded off, one by one. 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.

They ate breakfast and cleaned up everything left from the birthday party before I even got out of bed. It was really sweet of the girls to do that. 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 sixteen ideas I bought for them. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

Special Summer Wedding !!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I didn’t have as many problems planning an outside wedding as I thought I would. In fact, it didn’t cost as much as an indoor wedding would have cost us. Having the natural beauty of the outdoors saved us a lot of money on decorations. I checked out a lot of places to have our summer wedding and reception. Instead of having our wedding ceremony and reception on the beach or in a garden, I chose to have it 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. When you plan to be married in the great outdoors, it seems you have to have a backup plan just in case the weather turns from sunny to pouring buckets. 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. I mainly concentrated on the decorations for our wedding table and the reception tables. With the park as our main theme, I basically had to make sure I had our table settings and maybe throw in a few extra bouquets of flowers. I decided to go with artificial flowers because I didn’t want to have our wedding to be the target of a bee swarm. The only way you could tell that the flowers were artificial, was by touch, they were beautiful. 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 themes are fantastic, the heat can totally destroy your gorgeous wedding cake.

As far as table décor, I found so many fantastic accessories for our reception. Each of our guest had a park bench place card holder and the centerpieces were flowers arranged around a glass globe with citronella votive candles inside. 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 wedding favor. For our wedding table, of course, was our fabulous wedding cake with a very unique wedding cake topper.

While shopping for my wedding accessories I saw this topper and couldn’t resist it. They were customized toppers for the wedding couple. All I had to do was send in a head shot picture of me and my fiance and they custom made a bride and groom cake topper with our faces. 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. Everything I ordered for our ceremony and reception was the best in wedding accessories, especially our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set. It was amazing all the super accessories you can buy online.

It was the perfect wedding and reception, just like I had hoped for. Plan B never had to be used, since the weather was so beautiful, and thankfully it remained that way through the whole evening. The DJ we hired was really exceptional and I’m sure that the music played on long after my new husband and I left for our honeymoon. A lot of good things were said about our wedding ceremony and everyone said they had a fantastic time at the reception. 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.

Special Baby Shower Favor Ideas

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 turned on my computer and started ordering supplies online as I did for my wedding accessories. There you can find so many party items and great ideas if you are planning a party. Then I started to search the net for baby shower favors supplies and picking out what decorations I could find there. 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. 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 had a buffet set up with all kinds of foods and snacks, and the cake I bought was chocolate, in honor of the mother to be, who is a chocoholic. I had the cake covered with pink icing and little cake decorations, in honor of my niece to be. The cake topper was fantastic too,with different colored baby blocks. I was proud of my cake and the decorations I chose, it looked so perfect.

The baby bootie candles I chose as baby shower favors ideas were the perfect 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. One of the best things about buying online is that it’s so easy and convenient, not to mention the money I saved. There was everything I needed in baby shower supplies for the perfect party, and I only had to place my order. 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.

We had such a great time and everyone seemed happy with their baby shower favor idea. We had a lot of laughs together as we watched her open all the baby gifts and played silly games. One of the best games we played required filling baby bottles with something to drink. Then everyone has to drink from the bottles until someone finishes their drink and wins the prize. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Their job was to try to match the baby picture with the adult. 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.

There was a fantastic selection to choose from, for everything you need from weddings to baby showers. There is even accessories for graduation and birthday parties as well.

How did I know about this site and all the wonderful selection of items they have for baby showers and other party supplies? 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.

Terrific wedding pens

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Going online seemed like a good idea to find a wedding pen set and other supplies. It was a good idea, I found all sorts of styles and decorative colors, and I also found different weddings you can choose from. There were a lot of choices I was rather captured by, as far as themes for weddings and receptions. Our wedding date is set for January, so I was thinking about having a winter wonderland ceremony and reception. 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 a winter wedding is gorgeous too, at least all the accessories I’ve seen were. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Now I had to get started with all my wedding plans.

They had the prettiest winter wonderland invitations for our guests. Secondly, I chose our flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow and all the other accessories I needed for our wedding ceremony. I was thinking I had everything for our winter wedding I could possibly need, but I found out that I had forgotten something. I didn’t remember the wedding book and wedding pen. So, I searched through the wedding supplies and found the beautiful winter wedding guestbooks and wedding pen sets, and picked my favorite. The guest book was designed with snowflakes and a little blue thrown in with sparkling little crystals. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. 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 planned to keep this in mind for future references.

Next, I started going through all the reception supplies and decoration ideas they had. 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 so fantastic looking. The glassware, gel candles and lovely winter centerpieces I chose really made our tables look spectacular. We were also able to get quite a few accessories and supplies at a discount and save money on our wedding expenses, which really helped us out. As beautiful as it all was, it’s hard to believe they didn’t cost a lot more.

They also had the most adorable wedding cake toppers to choose from. We had a beautiful cake topper with a bride and groom enjoying the winter season. 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.

We had snowmen place card holders on the reception tables for all of our guests. We gave our guests little snowflake gel candles as wedding favor thank you gifts. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. They really made the tables look so festive. The wedding pens went over surprisingly well, and everyone really had a wonderful time at the reception. 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.

Terrific wedding photo albums

Monday, April 20th, 2009

After it was decided that we were going to have a beach wedding, I went shopping for accessories and supplies with a beach theme in mind. First things first, I bought our beach themed wedding invitations. I made sure I had plenty of extra invitations, just in case I had to rewrite some of them, and it’s a good thing I did. Now that the invitations were in the mail, it was time to find my beautiful beach wedding dress. With all the selections of beautiful beach dresses and wedding gowns, I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to wear. I was unsure about the two full length wedding gowns I found, I didn’t want to be uncomfortable at my beach wedding. So, even though I loved the gowns, I chose a lightweight knee length beaded satin dress with a gorgeous lace covering and spaghetti straps.

My bridesmaids looked so lovely in their haltered beach dresses of cool linen with a crocheted bodice. 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.

With all the pictures I wanted taken of our wedding ceremony and reception, maybe I should have bought two wedding photo albums. 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. 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 little beach chairs I found worked out perfectly as place card holders and they made great little picture frames too. I really liked them and I’m sure our guests did too. 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. I found everything we needed, as far as accessories and decorations, for our wedding table and our guests reception tables. They had the perfect crystal stemware, serving set for the wedding cake, wine glasses and a gorgeous beach themed cake topper.

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. 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. It couldn’t have been a more perfect dream wedding and reception, with the gorgeous ocean as our background and the warm sand under our feet.

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