Wedding Party Supplies Were Better Than I Expected!

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I knew there were a lot of wedding supplies needed when planning a wedding and reception, but I never realized just how much. Now I know why the girls at work told me to start wedding shopping asap. I had no idea taking care of all our dresses and the guys tuxes would be easier than the rest. I found out there is much more to planning the wedding than just the attire. At the top of my to do list was the invitations to our country western themed wedding and reception. With my wedding cake supplies list in hand, I’d take it one item at a time, and then mark it off. First off, I needed to find the right decorations for our country themed reception. I decided to take a friends advice and see what there was to offer online before I started going from store to store. It worked out better than I thought it would, there were quite a few selections to choose from.

There were a lot of decorations for all sorts of themed weddings as well as my country themed accessories, right there online. Our tables looked so fantastic with the cute little place card holders I picked out. The little barbecue grills were the ideal place card holders for a reception that was having a cookout too.

The wildflowers in metal campfire cups with western garland made perfect country type centerpieces. I found exceptional wedding favor supplies, including the perfect western themed wedding favors for all of our guests. In the wedding accessories selection were some super cowboys hats for the bride and groom that I ordered. There were unique champagne flutes for toasting the bride and groom that were also of a western theme. Around the reception tables we had strung white christmas lights and hung old fashioned lanterns everywhere. Our beautiful wedding cake with the old west cake topper really added to our bridal table. With all the themed accessories and decorations for the reception and the tables, anyone could pull off the perfect western wedding. There was tiny cowboy hats for the tables, a gorgeous cake serving set, a wedding guest book and pen set, and a western style wedding album, which I dearly loved. It was so easy to get everything I needed for wedding and reception accessories when it was right there on my computer.

Obviously I couldn’t get the bales of hay, large barbecue grills and a few other things like that online, so I did have to do a little store shopping. Well, I guess I should say, my fiance and his friend did that shopping. They also built a dance floor that we could all enjoy. Not only did we have the newly made dance floor, but a super country band to help us kick up our heels and a great selection of foods to eat. They grilled chicken, steaks ribs and more, and the buffet table was filled with all kinds of salads. Everyone really enjoyed themselves.

A few of our friends and family commented on how great our western decorations were. Going online to search for accessories and décor ideas really paid off. The convenience of sitting at home and shopping, then ordering my choices,and just waiting for delivery was the best part of all. It really beats running all over the city looking for what I need for my wedding and reception. I also did pretty good in the overall cost of my accessories since they have such a terrific selection of discount wedding supplies to pick from. Take my suggestion and browse online for your wedding and reception supplies.

Wedding Supplies Can Really Mount Up

Monday, January 26th, 2009

   At least the cost can! With so much to plan for and pay for with a wedding and reception, you can use all the help you can get. I never dreamed that our ceremony and reception would cost so much. We even thought about taking out a loan, just to get married.  Then there was the option of elopement, but we pushed that idea aside right away. We both wanted our big wedding with all of our friends and family around us. So, that meant finding another solution to the expense. We tried cutting down the guest list, but we both have big families so that was next to impossible.  There was maybe only ten people out of 300 that we could have crossed off our list. So, that wasn’t much of a savings.

   We thought about cutting a few corners, like no bridesmaids or groomsmen, just a maid of honor and a best man.  But everyone was looking forward to being in our wedding party, and we couldn’t disappoint them. Besides they were close friends and we wanted them to be in our ceremony.  So, we figured we would just be in debt up to our eyeballs until we celebrated our golden anniversary. We had to figure out a way to get our wedding supplies without owing the country.

   So, I started scanning the internet to see what kind of deals there may be out there for couples that don’t want to skimp on their wedding and reception, but don’t really have a lot of money to spend, and I found it.  There was everything from wedding decorations to wedding favors available at very affordable prices.  Even prices we could afford on our budget. I got the decorations, glassware for my reception tables, invitations, and more, all at a discount. Everything I needed for a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. I was able to buy each of my bridesmaids and flower girl some very nice gifts, and he found what he needed for his groomsmen and ring boy too. There were even adorable wedding favors for each of our friends and families attending the reception. We got everything from a wedding guest book to centerpieces without breaking the bank. We were able to get all the wedding party supplies needed to have the ceremony and reception we wanted.

   The best part  was, even thought these wedding supplies weren’t expensive, they looked expensive, and no one could tell the difference.  Everything was top notch and gorgeous. They all got a kick out of our wedding cake topper, which was one that depicted the humorous side of marriage, and it started our reception off with a few laughs. The whole evening was fantastic.  Lots of laughing, toasting with my beautiful champagne flutes and lots and lots of food.  People were snapping pictures all night long with the little disposable cameras we were able to afford. It was quite a night.

   We got a great deal on the wedding favors for everyone too, and I had them all done up in wedding favor boxes that were so colorful and festive that it actually added to the décor of my tables. I couldn’t have dreamed up a more perfect wedding ceremony and reception. Everything was as we wanted it to be. Thank goodness I ran across the variety of wholesale wedding supplies to help us with the expenses.

   I know in this day and age most people have three or four marriages in their life time, but for us, we only want to do this once. I’m just happy we could do it up right.
