As soon as we had a definite date for the wedding, I sat down in front of my computer and did a little online shopping for my bridal accessories. I couldn’t believe all the fantastic wedding items for ceremonies and receptions they had. They didn’t cost half as much as I expected them to cost and the quality and style was so in the perfect bridal fashion of any bride today. I really fell in love with the bridal hair accessories they had available. There were gorgeous hair combs and tiaras, and choosing the mone for me was a decision I’d have to think on for a while, besides I had other things I had to take care of first.
To start with we decided that we wanted to have a theme wedding and we agreed to make it a beach themed wedding and reception. 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. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. Now, since the invitations were taken care of, I could concentrate on ordering the personal accessories I wanted for my wedding. I was surprised at all the accessories they carried for weddings and receptions, and I shop online quite a bit. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.
Great selection of bridal supplies and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. A short wedding dress would have probably been the wiser choice, since we were getting married on the beach, but I had to have my full length dress. My bridesmaids and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. They were all so elegant, they could have been on the cover of a bridal magazine.
There were torches around the reception area and the dance floor was lit up with little white lights we had strung around. On the reception tables there were seashells and starfish scattered about and place card holders that were adorable little sailboats. 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. I think the picture frames I chose were to their liking.
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. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. 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. We all had a wonderful time enjoying good food and good music to dance too. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.
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.
