As soon as we set our wedding date, I got busy with my planning and shopping for everything I needed. I’m a dedicated online shopper and so, of course, that’s the first place I went to find what I needed. I’m glad I did too, with all they had to offer there was no problem finding everything I needed to plan the perfect wedding and reception. From invitations to fantastic wedding favors gifts for our guests, they had it all.
We had no problem choosing the theme we wanted for our wedding and reception, it had to be 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.
I immediately picked out our beach wedding invitations and made sure our potential guests received them promptly. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. My bridal accessories were the next thing on my wedding list that I would need. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a wonderful selection of discount bridal accessories they had to offer. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. The wedding jewelry I found was just as gorgeous as the hair accessories I chose. I ordered a beautiful necklace and earring set that looked absolutely fantastic with my gown. It had little pearls and crystals entertwined and gave such a luxurious sparkle to my ensemble.
There was an amazing bridal fashion display that was so beautiful and even reasonable in price. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. I know that a short thin materialed dress would have been more appropriate for a beach ceremony, but I had my heart set on my full length gown. My bridesmaids and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. Everyone of them looked stunning and my flower girl was so adorable.
There were tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. On the reception tables there were seashells and starfish scattered about and place card holders that were adorable little sailboats. As wedding favors I wanted to give them something special from the seaside collection, so I chose the beach themed photo frames for each of them. Everyone seemed to like the gifts they received.
Our wedding table was beautifully set with beach themed champagne flutes, little beach tealights and lovely beach themed candles and holders. All the supplies and accessories for our wedding reception was decorated in an oceanside motif, and so was our cake topper. We had a cake topper of a young couple holding each other as they walked 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. We danced, ate tons of seafood, like shrimp, crab, lobster and of course we had other foods for those that didn’t like seafood. We danced to some really great tunes and enjoyed the fantastic foods that were prepared and just had one heck of a beach party. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.
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.
