We planned a lovely little garden wedding and reception at my Aunts lovely country home in Connecticut. She has a huge gardent that would be perfect for a wedding ceremony with all the beautiful landscaping she has had done, it is a garden paradise. There is plenty of room for all the guests and reception tables that will be needed. There is even enough room for a band and the large patio she has was just the right size for a dance floor. She was such a big help in the planning, she helped me to find the best glass favors for our guests thank you gifts. She picked out exquisite looking champagne glass wedding favors and wine glass favors that will not only made great gifts, but looked fantastic on our reception tables. There were also a lot of wedding accessories to check out.
For a surprisingly low price, I picked up a matching set with a garter for the wedding, a basket for the flower girl, a pillow for the ring bearer, and a sign in book and pen for the guests. There was an enormous selection of wedding apparel available, including things like the combs for the wedding and the sparkling tiara that I picked out. The items I bought for the reception dinner were all ordered over the net; all I had to do was sit and wait for them to show up at my door. That sure saved wear and tear on my nerves and my legs, not to mention all the money I saved by ordering a few of the discount accessories. Two miniature people that were spitting images of my fiance and I were made special just for us as a wedding cake topper. It was a really neat cake topper, and it’s so precious that I know I’ll be saving it forever. We picked out crystal-handled cake serving utensils that had the bride and groom engraved in them, and they went spendidly with our champagne flutes that had a similar look to them. We picked out champagne glass wedding favors as an added thank you for our family and good friends and of course the wine glasses my Aunt picked out also.They really did make the table settings look so much more classy than you could ever imagine. The champagne and wine glasses were really a super idea.The reception tables also had tiny, lovely place card holders. They were made of glass and the form of a bunch of grapes, and in the middle was a place for the card to sit. They really added lustre to the reception tables.
The glass favors they have, I discovered as I browsed through their inventory, aren’t just for weddings. For example, there are items for bridal showers and baby showers. Some very attractive examples included ones with baby designs, like shoes and strollers. Someday I hope to have a baby shower given for me and I hope they know about this online store I use. I was not limited by the selection, and I got some awesome deals. Not having to spend those few extra bucks can be very important when you’re first married.

Is there any more effective way to express your love than to get married with a wedding in the same month as Valentine’s Day? It seemed like a great idea me, so I opted to have my wedding day decorated with the emblem of love all over our wedding ceremony and reception. I started it off with the loveliest tiara that I ran across online. The invitationsI selected were just one of many supplies that I needed to buy for the wedding theme. I mailed out small cards that had two silver-colored hearts on the front of them for our invitations. It was really elegant looking and the inside was preprinted, so all I had to do was fill in the blanks with all the necessary information of who, when and where.
Inviting people, of course, was just the first phase, so I went right from that onto setting up the overall look and feel of the wedding, and then gathering together the supplies and accessories to make it work. I bought large scarlet bows made of velvet to put on the church pews with a ribbon that would run from one pew to the next. At the altar were candelabras and our beautiful unity candle with the heart of little roses on the front. There were also red and pink roses to help with the décor of the wedding site and red and white roses in my bridal bouquet. We had doves let out of cages as my groom and I departed from the church building, and it was one extra touch that I thought was just majestic.
Everyone had their wedding attire taken care of, including our little flower girl and ring boy. The basket for the flower girl was going to be adorned with white satin, with lace and bows on each side. There was a white double hearts wedding themed pillow with a pair of gold hearts on it that we got for our ring boy to use, along with a white ribbon made of satin for the rings. I had a mini tiara for the flower girl to wear in her hair that looked very much like the one I ordered for myself. She did look like a little princess in her lovely little pink flower girl dress, and she did such a super job in the ceremony. So did the ring boy, he was quite elegant in his little tuxedo with a red boutonniere in his lapel. He carried the ring pillow like a pro and kept in step with the rest of the wedding party. I was so proud of both of them.
The centerpieces we had made up for the reception dinner had tiny hearts intermixed with roses that were white, pink, and red. On each of the reception tables were little two hearts wedding candles to set the romantic mood of the theme I had chosen, and at each setting was the nicest place card holder I could find. I ordered beautiful little silver bells with a heart shaped handle that make a very lovely keepsake from our wedding day for each of our guests. Every layer of our wedding cake was adorned with small red and pink roses, and the bottom section had tiny hearts running all the way around it. On top sat our very special keepsake hearts wedding cake topper made of white porcelain, which looked so elegant with all the other cake decorations.
The hearts wedding turned out to be a fantastic idea with all the lovely heart weddings accessories and decorations our reception hall as well as our ceremony site was superb. This turned out so perfect, that I think we may just have a renewal heart wedding for our 25th wedding anniversary.

As soon as we decided to set a date for our wedding day, I had to start checking out all the bridal accessories they had online. I love to shop online and do it all the time, so I thought I’d see what there is in bridal fashion on the wedding sites that are available. I’m so glad I took a look because there were so many nice items, like the lovely bridal hair accessories and the wedding packages that had five to eight piece wedding sets at special prices.
We decided that a lovely theme wedding would be what we would like, and the theme we chose was a beach theme. Our friends and us have spent many days on the beach, since we were kids, growing up here and it seemed like the perfect place for our wedding.
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 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 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 tiara I chose. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together, too. 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. 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 torches around the reception area and the dance floor was lit up with little white lights we had strung around. I had sailboat place card holders and placed seashells and starfish all around the tables. 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. I think they all liked the frames as much as I did.
There were tealights and candles to light up our beautifully set bridal table and lovley beach themed flutes for the wedding toast. All the supplies and accessories for our wedding reception was decorated in an oceanside motif, and so was our cake topper. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. 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. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.
As soon as we returned from our honeymoon I got out my beautiful beach themed wedding guest book and started writing thank you cards to our friends and family. 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.
