What better way to say how much you love each other than to plan a beautiful wedding in the month of February, the month of love? It seemed like a great idea me, so I opted to have my wedding day decorated with the emblem of love all over our wedding ceremony and reception. I started it off with the loveliest tiara that I ran across online. The invitations I selected were just one of many supplies that I needed to buy for the wedding theme. The cards we used as wedding invitations had a pair of hearts on the front of them, both silver. The only thing I really had to do was write in the information, like the place and the date, and the rest was already filled out in beautiful calligraphy when we got them.
But that was only the beginning, after I mailed out the invitations I had to start planning the décor and ordering the supplies I would need. I selected a red velvet set of ribbons and bows that I would put on the end of and string between the church pews. The altar was beautifully decorated, with wonderful candle holders and candles, including our unity candle which was adorned with a heart made of red roses. There were also red and pink roses to help with the décor of the wedding site and red and white roses in my bridal bouquet. We had doves let out of cages as my groom and I departed from the church building, and it was one extra touch that I thought was just majestic.
The wedding apparel that would be worn by those who were going to be in the wedding had already been selected. As a flower girl basket, I decided to go with a gorgeous white satin with lovely lace and satin bows on each side. For the ring boy to carry down the aisle I ordered a gorgeous white double hearts wedding pillow with the two gold hearts entwined, and a white satin ribbon for the rings. My bridal tiara was a pretty good match for the one that I picked out for the flower girl to wear in the ceremony. She wore a pretty pink dress, made for a flower girl, and she did such a wonderful job as a flower girl and looked so brilliant that I thought she did look like royalty. So did the ring boy, he was quite elegant in his little tuxedo with a red boutonniere in his lapel. He carried the ring pillow like a pro and kept in step with the rest of the wedding party. I was so proud of both of them.
The reception tables for our wonderful hearts wedding reception was really picturesque with lovely centerpieces and candles on every table. I knew a heart wedding would be gorgeously romantic, but I never realized just how much until the day of our wedding. I received so many comments on how lovely everything looked and how much they appreciated their wedding favors with little hearts on them. One lady told me that this was the most romantic wedding she had ever attended and the decor was exquisite. I’m so glad everything turned out the way I had always hoped for on my wedding day. I’ll never foget the day we said I do, especially with all the pictures I have for our heart wedding photo album.
