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.
So, I took care of the mailing out of all the invitations and started shopping for my bridal accessories. This online shopping site I found had wedding supplies as gorgeous as the ones you find in bridal fashion magazines, only with a much lower price tag. There was everything available from decorative aisle runners for the church to gorgeous bridal hair accessories to add a special elegance to the bride’s ensemble.
Great selection of fashionable accessories and the low cost really made this shopping worth while. I ordered some things for our honeymoon too. 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. Everyone of them looked stunning and my flower girl was so adorable.
There were torches around the reception area and the dance floor was lit up with little white lights we had strung around. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. I didn’t want to give our guests some useless wedding favor that would be stuck in a drawer and forgotten, so we gave them beach themed picture frames as thank you gifts. I think the picture frames I chose were to their liking.
On the bride and groom table were our toasting flutes, lovely candles in their beach theme holders and lots of lovely tealights. 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. There was so much seafood, such as lobsters, crabs and shrimp and we also had plenty of chicken and steaks for the non seafood eaters. 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. 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.

I Found Some Amazing Bridal Accessories!
Friday, June 5th, 2009Some Amazing Discount Bridal Accessories!
Sunday, April 26th, 2009When my fiance and I set the date for our wedding, I started planning and shopping for all my accessories and wedding supplies, right away. 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. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.
So the first thing I did was to order the beach themed wedding invitations and get them in the mail as soon as possible. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my bridal accessories I would need. Shopping online has almost become a hobby for me, but even I couldn’t believe what a divine selection of bridal hair they had to offer. I ordered the most beautiful tiara and hair comb from there. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It was so bold with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.
There was so much in the way of a bride accessory that was absolutely exquisite, and the best part was, it wasn’t all that expensive. I also bought a few items I can use while on our honeymoon. A short wedding dress would have probably been the wiser choice, since we were getting married on the beach, but I had to have my full length dress. There were satin summer dresses for my bridesmaids and my flower girl, that had a knee length hemline. They were all so elegant, they could have been on the cover of a bridal magazine.
Our reception tables were all set up on the beach with tiki torches scattered all around and lights strung up by the make shift dance floor we had. The reception tables had been decorated in an Oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. 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 the picture frames I chose were to their liking.
There were tea lights and candles to light up our beautifully set bridal table and delightful beach themed flutes for the wedding toast. Our wedding cake topper was especially designed for a beach wedding just as all our other accessories for our reception. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. Thanks to all the supplies and bridal accessories I had to choose from, our wedding and reception was everything I had hoped it would be. There was so much seafood, such as lobsters, crabs and shrimp and we also had plenty of chicken and steaks for the non seafood eaters. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.
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.
