There is a long list of things to get when planning a wedding and reception. Invitations are the first thing on you list after you’ve decided on a date and location. There is a variety of invitations to choose from. You could buy invitations with a theme, like for an ocean side ceremony, or just beautiful traditional invitations. I decided on a beach motif for my themed wedding invitations.
I bought everything from invitations to wedding favors with an ocean side theme in mind. They had a big list of wedding decorations. I feel in love with the gel candles idea and made sure I had plenty for our tables. I thought the little seashell place card holders I bought were such a unique idea.
I liked the beach themed wedding favors they had to choose from too. I narrowed it down to the picture frames or the lovely beach theme tea lights. Since, I obviously couldn’t have both, I went with the tea lights. I just couldn’t resist them. I even bought two extra so I could have some on my shelf at home. There were a lot of options for wedding table decorations too. You should see the lovely assortment of flower girl baskets and ring pillows I found. I bought my veil and tiara at the same place, too. In fact, I bought most of our accessories and reception supplies there. Not only is the selection fantastic, but the prices were pretty reasonable too. As expensive as weddings are, every little savings can help a lot.
What’s really great is there are so many different themed oriented accessories to choose from. I was very impressed with the seasonal themed accessories. If we were getting married in the winter, I definitely would have gone for the winter wonderland theme. The winter wonderland accessories were so gorgeous. But, for July I chose my favorite, an ocean side theme. I have to say, it turned out fantastic. We all had a great time and our guests commented on what a wonderful reception and wedding accessories we had. Our wedding cake topper became a topic of discussion. It was a lovely cake topper of the bride and groom on the beach.
They thought our champagne glasses were quite special too. There were so many nice accessories on our tables, from our cake serving set to the centerpieces. I also was able to find some very beautiful favor boxes, perfect for an ocean side reception. I can’t believe I got all of these super accessories and supplies online. And the best part was the great prices. Finding my accessories and supplies while browsing the web was a lot easier and much more convenient than I expected. If I would have seen all the wonderful accessories and party supplies they had, I would have ordered them for my friends baby shower that I gave.
I knew I’d have plenty of pictures of the wedding and reception, so I purchased two of their beautiful albums. There were quite a few albums with scrapbooking pages and a special compartment for keepsakes. There is everything under the sun for a beautiful wedding and a super reception.
A lot of our guests complimented me on our reception decorations and our wedding decor. There was a lot of couples kicking up their heels on the dance floor and having a great time. It was a little hard to leave such a great time with our friends and family. But it was time to start on our fabulous honeymoon. I was really excited about this trip, not just because it was our honeymoon, but I’ve never been to any place like this before. I have a feeling this is the start of many years of excitement and happiness to come.
