Perfect Wedding Bell

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 how it was on our wedding day. 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. I also ordered from this fantastic choice of accesssories, the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket, which came as a set. It was a beautiful satin garnet color and included a wedding guest book, pen set and wedding garter. Five items bought as a group, that cost a lot less than you would think.

There were a lot of other items I ordered too, like my lovely aisle runner for the church ceremony. The process of selecting wedding bell decoration 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 thought that was a great idea.

I bought accessories online for our reception as well as our ceremony. 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 ordered special flutes for us that said bride and groom on them, and beautiful twisted stemmed flutes for all of our guests. The wedding bell favors I picked out not only helped to add the sparkle I wanted for my tables, but served as a wedding favor for each of our guests.

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. I did order some very nice wedding favors for our guests that were lovely glass table coasters. Each set of coasters had a special calla lilie design. I put the wedding favors in little silver party favor boxes that came with thank you cards for each of them. The wedding favors in their little silver boxes made our tables even more elegant. On each reception table was a centerpiece I made up of lovely flowers and some very elegant candles.

At the end of the reception hall was our wedding cake on a special little table. Three tiers of luscious chocolate and cherries with a gorgeous wedding cake topper as the crowning glory. I decided on a beautiful heart with calla lilies and ribbon as our cake topper. The reception was fantastic, as was the wedding ceremony. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. There were several pictures of us cutting the wedding cake and feeding that first piece to each other. I have pictures of our friends and family, the ring boy and flower girl on the dance floor together and our first dance as husband and wife.

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 plan on having another wedding ceremony and reception for our anniversary one year and I was so glad to hear that my wonderful husband thinks that’s a fantastic idea.

Perfect communion favor…

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Our daughter made her first holy communion last week and we had a small party for her special day. I planned on giving our guests lovely communion favors to mark this special party. Religious shops didn’t have exactly what I was looking for, especially in my price range. So I hit the internet in search of the right favors for her party. 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. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. 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. All she needed was a little bouquet and she would look exactly like a tiny little bride. I guess a wedding reception and communion party isn’t all that much different. We ordered a cake, had lots of food for everyone and even had a band. 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. 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. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. Our family and some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful afternoon with us. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. 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.

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. Someday, not too far away, we’ll be filling out invitations and picking out wedding accessories together. 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 first communion favor section, but they have pretty nice wedding supplies too. There is quite a selection of wedding supplies and decorations for both ceremony and reception. 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. You can plan a great bridal or baby shower, or have a fantastic girls night out party with all the super accessories and suggestions they have to offer. You can choose from many themed ceremonies and receptions like oceanside weddings, or seasonal ones like winter wonderland and my particular favorite, western themed receptions. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. That’s why I’m hanging on to my online shopping site, I know I’ll be using it quite often.

Perfect bridesmaid gifts

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

There was an excellent choice of wedding accessories to choose from. They supplied me with most of my wedding and reception décor. But when it came to the bridesmaid gifts, I just couldn’t decide on which one I wanted to order. They had so many wonderful suggestion for the bridesmaids thank you gifts. 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. With me, I’m on there everyday looking at the selection over and over again, trying to make a decision.

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 didn’t have this much trouble choosing my wedding accessories and reception supplies. I knew exactly what I wanted for those items. There were many fantastic accessories I ordered for my wedding and reception with a fall theme. 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. Not only were there lovely place card holders, but really exquisite wedding favors and boxes for packaging them in. I know our friends and family will really be impressed with their party favors we got for them. Infact, I liked them so much, I ordered an extra favor for myself as a keepsake. They were some of the prettiest glass coasters you can imagine. 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. There was a gorgeous little storybook cake topper I would have chosen if we were having a fairytale theme. I would have been ordering the castle topper for a storybook wedding. It was truly elegant and would have made the perfect choice for a fairytale theme.

I couldn’t understand why I was having such a hard time picking out a nice bridesmaid gift, when it was so easy to choose my wedding and reception supplies. There were some very nice deals on some of these gifts as well as the accessories. Thanks to all the discount offers they had, there were many cheap bridesmaid gifts to choose from. 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. Even though I had it narrowed down to only two items, it still took me a little longer to make that final decision. But low and behold, I did make that decision. 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 wedding ceremony and reception was just a dream come true. 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 groomsmen liked the shot glasses and my girls said they loved the bridesmaids gifts we had for them too. This day was everything I hoped it would be, and then some.

Unique wedding knife server!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

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 pictured a reception party barn dance for our wedding day. A beach wedding sounded nice for our summer wedding. We could party and swim until the sun sets on the beautiful blue water. There were a lot of themed weddings and receptions to consider. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding server set to match every theme. Even though I found a lot of themed wedding ideas I liked, I chose the fantastic looking fairytale theme.

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. After that I went on to the wedding décor and the other accessories I would need. I wanted a wedding fit for Cinderella. I started with the decorations for the church ceremony. 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.

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 and ring boy did a wonderful job at the wedding ceremony and really looked elegant in their wedding attire. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

All the tables at the reception were sparkling with crystal and silver and the entire reception hall was lavishly decorated with flowers. Every table in the reception hall had gorgeous crystal champagne flutes with decorated stems to go with our storybook theme. 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.

Despite the beauty of our reception tables, I think the bride and groom table was definitely the center of attention. 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. I found the most exquisite storybook wedding cake topper for our reception at the same place I bought all our other reception supplies. I saw a gorgeous wedding knife in a storybook theme with a very decorative handle. I really liked the wedding cake knife set, so now I wanted to make everything else perfect! 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. After our song was over, couples filled the dance floor, for the next song. With all the photos that were taken, my storybook wedding album will be filled with memories in no time. 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.

Unique Bridal Hair Accessory

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. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. 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 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. Now, since the invitations were taken care of, I could concentrate on finding the bridal accessories I want for my wedding. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection of wedding bridal accessories they had to offer. The first thing ordered was the exquisite 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. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.

There was so much in the way of a bridal fashion jewelry that was absolutely exquisite, and the best part was, it wasn’t all that expensive. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. 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.

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. 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. For those that weren’t into seafood, we made sure we had plenty of steaks and chicken for them. We danced to some really great tunes and enjoyed the fantastic foods that were prepared and just had one heck of a beach party. If it wasn’t for going on our honeymoon, I never would have left our terrific beach party.

After we returned from our honeymoon, I had to get down to writing all the thank you notes to our guests. My beach themed picture album has all the memories within its beautiful covers for me to enjoy anytime I want to look back on our special beach wedding and reception.

Gorgeous cheap sweet sixteen favors..

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

My daughter is turning sixteen and I was looking for some unique ideas for her party. A friend of mine said she went online and found a lot of accessories and party favors for her daughters party. So, I decided to check it out. I couldn’t believe all the nice table accessories and party favors that were available. I found a lot of nice stuff I can use for her party. There were cookie cutters I used to make cookies in the shape of the number 16 for her guests.

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. I then made reservations at the roller rink in town. 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. At home I had everything set up for the party to continue. I put up decorations, fixed a table with a few goodies to snack on, along with the sweet 16 cookies I prepared earlier.

The cookie cutters wasn’t the only thing I ordered 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. 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. 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. Along with that I also bought compact mirrors and manicure sets that matched their bags. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. At home, her sweet sixteen idea and presents awaited, and we took care of that as soon as we got there. We picked up movies on the way home for the girls and I made sure they had plenty of snacks and drinks, so they were all set for the night. They turned on some of their music and danced around for a while, then they took out their manicure sets and started to work on nails, and give make overs to each other. They were having a lot of fun together.

Finally, things started to quiet down and they broke out the popcorn and movies. I wanted to give them as much space as I could and not intrude on their girl time, but I got an invitation to join them for a movie. It made me feel good that they wanted to include me. After the second movie, one by one, they started falling asleep. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. But before she passed out, she thanked me for giving her such a great party.

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. They shared a couple of more hours together and then some of the girls had left for home. They told me they had a super time and they thought the favors for sweet sixteen were really cool. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

Gorgeous summer wedding ideas!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Planning an outside wedding wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. It wasn’t as expensive as an indoor wedding would have been. Since we had the flowers and mother nature everywhere, I didn’t have to spend 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. 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.

We had canopies arranged for our reception and barring bad weather, planned to be wed under a lovely trellis. 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. You couldn’t tell they were artificial they were so beautiful,they looked like the real deal. The wedding was easier than I originally thought it would be, but there were a lot of things to consider. You want to make sure you have plenty of citronella candles scattered about, and that the rest rooms are within walking distance, and make sure your frosting on your cake doesn’t melt in the heat.

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. For each of our guests there were beautiful chrome bottle openers in lovely designed favor boxes, as a summer wedding theme. One of the most decorative things on our wedding table was our gorgeous wedding cake with the beautiful cake topper I ordered.

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. 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. How could I ask for a better wedding keepsake than that? 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. The weather cooperated and we never had to go to plan “B” with the tents. 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. Everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony and super reception we had. I’m so glad I decided to go with a wedding in the park. I’d love to do this again and have a wedding renewal in the park, maybe for an anniversary, someday.

Gorgeous Baby Shower Favor…

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. Plenty of ideas and a great variety of party items can be found there. 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. 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. 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. Especially for my niece, I covered the cake with adorable decorations and colored it with pink icing. I had these really cute baby blocks as the cake topper. 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. I ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. This online buying is the best thing I had ever done before: its easy,convenient and much cheaper. All I had to do was order what I needed for my baby shower and they had just about everything I needed. I found the cutest little bingo game that was perfect for the party. There is just so many great selections for a baby shower.

My baby shower party turned out to be a great success and all my guests seemed impressed with their baby shower favor idea. 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. 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. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Then each person had to try and match the baby with the adult. The prize went to whoever had the most matches. 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.

There was a fantastic selection to choose from, for everything you need 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? The reason is because this is the fantastic place I shopped for all of my wedding accessories and wedding reception supplies.

They’ve got some great wedding supplies, for almost any type of wedding and reception you can imagine. 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. If I ever need party supplies again, I’ll know where to go.

Best wedding pen

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I decided to go online to find a wedding guest book pen for my wedding reception, and it turned out to be a great decision! It was a good idea, I found all sorts of styles and decorative colors, and I also found different weddings you can choose from. They had a lot of themes for weddings and receptions that you could choose from, that I really liked. 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 from all the themed wedding accessories I’ve seen, a winter wedding is beautiful too. So, a winter wedding it was to be. Now I had to get started with all my wedding plans.

I found the best invitations for a winter wonderland wedding. Then I went for all the winter accessories for our wedding ceremony, from flower girl basket to ring boy pillow. I thought I had everything I needed for the perfect winter wonderland wedding, but I was wrong. I didn’t remember the wedding book and wedding pen. So, back through the wedding accessories I went and checked out all the winter wedding guest books and wedding pen sets they had, and found the perfect one for us. There were snowflakes, hints of blue and perfect little crystals on the cover of our winter wedding guestbook. There were also the wedding pens to match with our guestbook. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. I couldn’t believe all the gorgeous wedding albums you could get, there were even anniversary albums to choose from. I could use this selection in a few years too.

Next, I started going through all the reception supplies and decoration ideas they had. There was everything for the perfect winter wonderland wedding and I started with the crystal champagne flutes with the decorative winter themed stems, designed just like our wedding guest book and pen. They have such beautiful wedding stemware. With all the beautiful crystal champagne flutes, the gel candles and the exceptional looking centerpieces I picked out, our reception tables were simply elegant. 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 cake was five tiers high and covered in sugar snowflakes with blue and red designs of winter. Our choice of a wedding cake stand was a big silver sled. Our guests were really impressed with the silver sled cake stand idea that my fiance thought of.

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. But what I thought was a really decorative addition to the tables were the snowflake favor boxes their wedding favors came in. They were the perfect winter addition to the reception tables. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and the personalized wedding pens were a hit! Thanks to shopping online, I had everything I needed to pull off a successful wedding ceremony and reception. It gave me a lot of help for planning the décor.

Best wedding album

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I started shopping for my themed accessories and supplies as soon as we were sure we were having a beach wedding. First things first, I bought our beach themed wedding invitations. Since I had a couple of invitations I had to do over again, I was really glad I bought extra. 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. The full length bridal gowns were so beautiful, but I was afraid they may be too uncomfortable for a beach wedding. I found a beautiful beaded knee length dress made of light weight materials of satin and lace, with spaghetti straps for my wedding.

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 sundress our flower girl wore looked so adorable on her and our ring boy looked so cute in his little khaki shorts and white shirt. I found the most lovely flower bouquets for the bridesmaids and myself, and the entire wedding party looked absolutely perfect.

With all the pictures I wanted taken of our wedding ceremony and reception, maybe I should have bought two wedding albums. I planned to have pictures of all the fantastic decorations at our wedding and reception and photos of every guest that attended. 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. The guests were informed on the invitations to wear casual clothing.

Everyone thought our reception tables were so beautiful with all the beach themed wedding accessories I had found for them. The place I shopped not only had the beach wedding album I wanted, but so many more accessories to go with it. I found the cutest little beach chairs as place card holders that they can use for their favorite little photo later. I really liked them and I’m sure our guests did too. I also found the perfect beach wedding favors for our friends and family. 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. 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. Everything was like a dream come true, with the beautiful ocean waves and the warm summer sands as our wedding chapel and reception location.

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