Coolest Wedding Bell Decoration!

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’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.

From the wedding invitations to the wedding favors for our guests, they had everything. On the front of our invitations was silver printing which added to the elegance of the card. I found a lovely ring pillow and flower basket set that I also ordered from them. It came in a beautiful garnet, and there was also a guestbook and pen set, and a very lovely wedding garter. All five pieces of wedding accessories at a very reasonable price.

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. 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 bought accessories online for our reception as well as our ceremony. They really had quite a collection of gorgeous wedding reception accessories to choose from. I have this thing for shiny things, and I found a lot of crystal glassware, including beautiful champagne flutes for our reception tables. I chose the bride and groom toasting set for us and champagne flutes with elegant twisted stems for our friends and family. Bell weddings really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a nice gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.

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. Glass coasters was our choice of wedding favor gifts for our guests. 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.

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. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. We had so many photos of the wedding ceremony and reception that I went back online and ordered a second wedding photo album. 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.

The compliments I got from our guests on our wedding décor was really nice, but it really made me feel good to know that they all had such a great time. I told my husband that I would really like to do this again someday for one of our anniversaries, and he agreed that it’s a good idea.

Coolest communion party favor…

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to find communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual touch 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. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. There were also candy tins that were perfect to set out on the tables for our adult guests and little teddy bear containers with candies for the children’s communion party favors. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.

The day we went shopping for her communion dress I couldn’t help but think of the day when we’ll be shopping for her wedding gown. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. All she needed was a little bouquet and she would look exactly like a tiny little bride. 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. With all the pictures we took at her communion party, I’m so glad we decided to make the pink photo album an extra little communion gift for her. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. 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. We all had such a wonderful time and it was a very lovely party. 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 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. At least when it does come to that, I’ll know where to send her for her wedding supplies and accessories for her reception. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and holly communion favor, right here on my computer. There is quite a selection of wedding supplies and decorations for both ceremony and reception. They carry a lot more than communion favors and accessories for weddings. 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. 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 were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. It’s a good thing I know the perfect online shopping store, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of opportunities to use it.

Coolest bridesmaid gifts

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Everything I looked at as far as wedding accessories were fantastic. I purchased almost all of the wedding and reception supplies from them. But when I was looking for the bridesmaid gifts, I couldn’t make up my mind which of the lovely items would be the best. They had a fantastic list of gifts to say thank you to my bridesmaids. My fiance 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’m glad it wasn’t this difficult choosing my accessories for my wedding and reception. I knew exactly what I wanted for those items. They had everything I needed for my autumn wedding ceremony. 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. I’m pretty sure these wedding favors I ordered for our guests will be a big hit. Infact, I liked them so much, I ordered an extra favor for myself as a keepsake. 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. I went for the heart made of sparkling glass with which I had our names put on. If I were having a fairytale wedding though, I know exactly which topper I would have chosen. I simply fell in love with the castle topper. It was really special and would have fit right in with a storybook themed wedding.

It was so easy choosing the right accessories for our wedding ceremony and reception, so why is it so hard to pick out a bridesmaid gift? I was even able to get some of our accessories at wholesale prices. There were bridesmaids gifts 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. The conclusion to this problem was simple, I’ll give them both as wedding gifts. They were each getting a beautiful silver bracelet and a just as beautiful jewelry box to keep it in. Why not, it’s not that expensive and I feel they deserve it.

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 gifts and the bridesmaids gifts were a big hit. This day was everything I hoped it would be, and then some.

Cool 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. It sounded like a lot of fun to have a country western themed wedding. I pictured a reception party barn dance for our wedding day. We were having our wedding during the hot summer months, so a beach themed wedding sounded pretty great. We could have a great time, swimming, partying on shore and watching a gorgeous sunset in the background. It was a never ending list of possibilities for themed weddings and receptions. And they had every accessory online from decorations to a wedding cake server to match every theme. All the themed suggestions were quite unique, but it was the fairytale theme that I liked the best.

Now it was time to look for the fairytale themed accessories and supplies I needed for the theme I chose. First I ordered the lovely wedding invitations for our wedding guests. 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. 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. This was the most beautiful storybook wedding ceremony I could have ever wished for. Our little ring boy and flower girl were adorable and did such a super job at the ceremony. We took a carriage ride to the reception, just like Cinderella and her Prince left their ceremony.

With flowers everywhere and crystal and silver shining on the tables the entire reception hall was so elegant. All the tables had crystal champagne flutes with storybook designed stems. The place card holders on the guests tables were adorable little castles. I filled adorable carriage designed favor boxes with little candies for each place setting at the reception.

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. At the end of our wedding table, was the wedding cake table, with our beautiful five tier cake and gorgeous storybook topper. They have everything where I bought our reception supplies, even the perfect wedding cake topper in a storybook theme for our gorgeous cake. There was even a storybook wedding knife with lovely designs on the handle. I really liked the wedding knife and server, 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. We chose our favorite song, “I Swear” by all for one, as our first bride and groom dance. Once we were done with our wedding dance, the other couples joined us on the dance floor. I’m glad I bought the gorgeous fairytale photo album to store my wedding pictures in, because I’m going to have quite a few of them to treasure. Many of our friends and family commented on what lovely storybook favors we had given them as gifts.

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

Cool Bridal 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. Since I love to shop online, I decided that was as good a place to start as any. There were accessories and reception supplies that would help me to plan the most fantastic wedding and reception party ever, all on my computer. From invitations to fantastic wedding favors gifts for our guests, they had it all.

We decided that a lovely theme wedding would be what we would like, and the theme we chose was a beach theme. Our friends and us have spent many days on the beach, since we were kids, growing up here and it seemed like the perfect place for our wedding.

I ordered beach invitations right away so they would be on their way to our friends and family, first thing. 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. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of brides accessories. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. 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 and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. 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. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. The wedding favors I chose were lovely photo frames with a beach design, because I thought they were so pretty and I know that’s something that they can always use. 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. Our wedding cake topper was especially designed for a beach wedding just as all our other accessories for our reception. We had a cake topper of a young couple holding each other as they walked along the beach. Thanks to all the supplies and bridal accessories I had to choose from, our wedding and reception was everything I had hoped it would be. 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.

I got some affordable favors for sweet sixteen..

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I needed some fresh ideas for my daughters sixteenth birthday 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. It was surprising to find so many ideas for party supplies for the tables and little gifts. 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.

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. So I made the arrangements, and reserved tables with the roller rink in our neighborhood. Next, came the invitations for all of her closest 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 out the cookies I had made, along with a few other snacks, and set up birthday decorations.

The cookie cutters wasn’t the only thing I ordered online. Since I saved money on the roller rink deal, I decided it would be nice to get the girls a few sweet sixteen favors. Each of the girls got a disposable camera to take pictures of this evenings event and a pink photo album to store them in. Everyone got a camera before we went to the roller rink party, but no one got an album until later that evening. They all took a few pictures at the rink and wanted to save some film for the slumber party they were having afterwards.

One of the favors was a cosmetic bag that had each girls initial on the front button. The cosmetic bags were just the beginning, I also bought manicure sets and purse mirrors for each of the girls. Each of the girls also received a very decorative favor box filled with candies. We left the rink and went home to have her sweet sixteen favor and watch her open her presents. 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 danced for a while, then they gave each other manicures with their new sets, and of course, they did the make up thing. They were having a lot of fun together.

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. It made me feel good that they wanted to include me. They actually made it through the first two movies before they started nodded off, one by one. Soon, the only ones awake were me and my daughter, but she didn’t last much longer. With her eyes almost closed, she told me how much she loved her birthday party and thanked me.

The next morning the girls were up before I was and had already had their breakfast and cleaned up from last nights festivities. It was really sweet of the girls to do that. 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 sweet 16 favors were really cool. So, I guess that makes me a cool mom, hey?

I got this Summer Wedding Ideas!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I didn’t have as many problems planning an outside wedding as I thought I would. It turns out that it was a lot cheaper in cost than it would have been to have an indoor wedding. Having the natural beauty of the outdoors saved us a lot of money on decorations. The first thing on my agenda was to find that perfect place to hold our summer wedding and reception party. I thought about a super beach wedding and reception, or maybe have it in a gorgeous garden, but I decided to have our ceremony and reception in the park. I was surprised at all the parks available for weddings.

I wasn’t really sure where to start, so I shopped around for some much needed suggestions. 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.

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 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 thought artificial flowers would be best, since we didn’t want a bee invasion ruining our ceremony. 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. 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.

As far as table décor, I found so many fantastic accessories for our 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. The chrome bottle openers we bought for our guests were packaged in beautiful favors boxes and given out as a summer wedding theme. 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 do customizing for the bride and groom. After I sent them a head shot of my fiance and myself they made our bride and groom topper to look exactly like us. Talk about the best wedding keepsake you can get. All of our guests were so impressed with our topper, they couldn’t stop talking about it. Our crystal champagne flutes and silver cake serving set was just a few of the fantastic accessories I ordered for our ceremony and reception. It was amazing all the super accessories you can buy online.

Everything at the wedding and reception were fantastic. Thank goodness the weather stayed perfect throughout the entire ceremony and reception and we never had to put plan B into action. 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. 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.

I got this lovely 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. There is so many great ideas and a variety of party items to select from. So I went online and started picking out all of the baby shower favors supplies and decorations I could find. There was quite a few great suggestions to work with. I ordered all of the accessories and decorations I needed and as soon as they were delivered, I started decorating. I had all of my tables set up in a baby oriented décor. 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. I must say the cake turned out perfect and the decorations were beautiful.

I found great favors for baby shower for all of my guests that were such adorable little baby bootie candles that came in their own decorative boxes. Decorations and accessories isn’t all they have there, I even bought quite a few baby gifts from there too. I ordered a pink baby photo album, baby blankets and an adorable pink layette set. I saved money and it was so easy to buy everything I needed online. All I had to do was order what I needed for my baby shower and they had just about everything I needed. I was even able to order a baby bingo game for the party.I bought the bingo game for kids from there too. This is where you can find really great accessories for your baby shower.

We had such a great time and everyone seemed happy with their baby shower favor idea. 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. I pinned everyones baby picture on my board. Everyone then had to try to find a match of a baby photo to the adult person. Whoever got the most right, wins a baby shower prize. I bought all the prizes the same place I bought all of my fantastic party accessories. Some of the prizes were things like candles, scented soaps and picture frames.

You can find so much online for baby showers, weddings and other special events. They also had accessories and supplies for graduation and birthday parties too.

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.

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. Shopping online was one of the smartest thing I could have done. I’ll use this site for all of my future parties.

Nice wedding guest book and pen..

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I thought online shopping would be a good idea to get a wedding guest book and pen and other reception supplies. 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. Too bad we were’nt getting married in December, I think a Christmas wedding would really have been spectacular, with a big Christmas tree and lots of decorations. But a winter wedding is gorgeous too, at least all the accessories I’ve seen were. So, I decided it was definitely a winter wedding. Next I had to get everything together for my beautiful wedding.

First I found the perfect winter wonderland wedding invitations to send to our friends and family. Next, I picked out the accessories for our ceremony, including the ring pillow and flower basket. I 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, 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. They also had the wedding pens that went perfectly with this gorgeous winter guestbook. While I was on the search for our guest book and pen, I also decided to find our wedding photo album. There were a lot of wedding albums to choose from, but what really surprised me was all the anniversary albums they had available. I’ll have to remember this site so I can come back in a few years for my anniversary album.

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 absolutely exquitsite. 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. I was surprised at what little we paid for such exquisite accessories.

There were a lot of cake toppers to check out too. It was the perfect wedding topper for the bride and groom and the joys of the winter season. Our wedding cake was a five tiered with white sugar snowflakes and winter designs of icy blue and reds. We used a big silver sled design for our wedding cake stand. 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 were the perfect winter addition to the reception tables. Everyone seemed to be having a great time and the wedding pens were a hit! 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.

Nice 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. I started with 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. After I got the invitations out of the way, my next step was finding the right dress for a beach wedding. With all the selections of beautiful beach dresses and wedding gowns, I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to wear. I fell in love with two of the floor length gowns, but wasn’t quite sure if it would be uncomfortable to wear to a 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.

Linen beach dresses with a crocheted halter covering was what I chose for my bridesmaids. All the groomsmen wore linen white shirts and sand colored pants and my husband, to be looked so handsome in his blue linen shirt and white 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. All of the wedding party looked great in their wedding attire and the flower arrangements for our bouquets were the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen.

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. Pictures of our satin canopy and flowered arch where we stood to take our vows was a definite must. After we were pronounced husband and wife, we left for the hotel to change from our wedding attire to our beach attire. In fact a few of the bridesmaids and groomsmen also left to change, while others just wore swim suits under their wedding attire. 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. There were so many other beach themed accessories to choose from, along with our gorgeous wedding album. The little beach chairs I found worked out perfectly as place card holders and they made great little picture frames too. The guests seemed to like them, and I thought they were just adorable. I also found the perfect beach wedding favors for our friends and family. 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. Not only did I find the perfect wedding cake topper, but I also bought their beach themed crystal flutes, wine glasses, cake serving set and so much more.

Some of the guests were commenting on the gorgeous décor of our reception tables. I added some tiki torches everywhere and put gel candles on all of our guests wedding reception tables to help add a touch of atmosphere to everything. 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 wedding photo album.
