When my best friend informed me of a online shopping store for wedding accessories and supplies that could save us a little on the wedding expenses, I thought I’d give it a try. She spoke the truth, everything from wedding invitations to exquisite little thank you gifts for the guests that could save us quite a bit. They even carry super groomsmen gifts and bridesmaids gifts along with all the other fantastic wedding items they have to offer. Needless to say, that’s where I did all my shopping for the wedding decorations and supplies.
December was the month we planned on for our wedding date and I was determined to have a winter wonderland wedding, and with all the accessories they have to offer, I knew I’d have everything I needed to make it work. The winter wonderland wedding bulletins were perfect for our invitations. I lucked out when looking for my flower basket and ring pillow because I found a five piece wedding set that had both, plus a guestbook and pen set, and a nice leg garter to go along with it. Not only did each piece match, but the price was more than reasonable. I was reading up on wedding ceremonies and that since throwing petals as the bride and groom leave the church may not be exceptable in many churches and couples are substituting bubbles in place of petals. This online shopping site I’m on has little bottled bubbles for just that purpose, with little bubble cards for hang tags, which I placed an order for.
You’d be surprised at the marvelous accessories I bought from there. I was able to find gifts for not only my bridesmaids, flower girl and ring boy, but for everyone in our wedding party. My fiance found quite a few gift ideas for best groomsmen gifts.
He got each of them a mug as their groomsman favors, with the word groomsman printed on it. We could cross off the list of things to buy as far as a groomsmen gift, my bridesmaids and the rest of the wedding party, so I could now choose thank you gifts for the guests. I had quite a selection of winter themed gifts to pick from for our guests at the reception. The wedding favors I chose were glass winter votive candles with a wintery frosted look for everyone attending the reception. They each had little silver snowflakes as decoration. Every candle was packaged in a decorative favor box with a silver hang tag on them.
The place card holders I chose were beautiful little snow ornaments that the guests can take home as a little momento. They had it all, winter themed champagne glasses and serving set and a funny winter wedding cake topper too. Since the cake topper I chose was one with the bride and groom on skis, I decided to make it look authentic by having the baker design the top layer of our cake as a mountain of snow. The cake really turned out nice and I made sure there were lots of pictures of it for my gorgeous winter wonderland wedding album. After we cut the cake and had our toast done by my super brother in law, it was time for our bride and groom dance. I really felt like a princess in some kind of dream world while we glided across the floor, with everyone watching.
The rest of the reception was just as perfect as the beginning, and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. The men in our wedding party really liked the wedding groomsmen gifts we had for them and my bridesmaids thanked me for theirs too. We also got quite a few compliments from our wedding guests about the decorations and the lovely wedding favors they received.
