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. With all the great accessories and reception supplies I found online, it was easy to find what I needed for our wedding. There was everything for our wedding and reception, from invitations to party favors for our wedding guests.
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 ordered beach invitations right away so they would be on their way to our friends and family, first thing. There were no no’s in the RSVP’S, and they all seemed to be really looking forward to our wedding day. My bridal accessories were the next thing on my wedding list that I would need. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of brides accessories. The first thing ordered was the exquisite hair comb and tiara to wear on my wedding day. Not only did I find the perfect hair accessories, but my wedding jewelry too. I ordered a beautiful necklace and earring set that looked absolutely fantastic with my gown. The pearls and crystals on the necklace set really added to the elegance of my wedding dress.
There was an amazing bridal fashion jewelry display that was so beautiful and even reasonable in price. I also bought a few items I can use while on our honeymoon. Even though we were getting married on the beach, I insisted on a floor length wedding 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 tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. I had sailboat place card holders and placed seashells and starfish all around the tables. 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 they all liked the frames as much as I did.
On the bride and groom table were our toasting flutes, lovely candles in their beach theme holders and lots of lovely tealights. Everything at our wedding reception came with a beach theme décor, including our fantastic wedding cake topper. 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. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.
The first thing I had to do when we came home from our honeymoon was get out my wedding guest book I bought online and make out all the thank you notes for the people that shared our wedding day with us. That was a day I’ll always remember and I’ll have lots of photos in my beach wedding album to look at and relive again and again.
