I bought everything from invitations to wedding favors with an ocean side theme in mind. There were a lot of beach themed wedding decorations to choose from too. I bought quite a few of the lovely gel candles for our reception tables. I thought the little seashell place card holders I bought were such a special idea.

There were terrific beach wedding favors to pick from too. I had a hard time deciding between the gorgeous beach tea lights, or the beach themed picture frames. After a long debate with myself, I decided to go with the beach themed tea lights. I just couldn’t resist them. I liked them so much, I bought two of them for my house. I even found a lot of accessories for wedding table decorations. You should see the lovely assortment of flower girl baskets and ring pillows I found. I even got my veil and tiara from there. In fact, I bought most of our accessories and reception supplies there. Not only is the selection fantastic, but the prices were quite reasonable too. As expensive as weddings are, every little savings can help a lot.

What’s really great is there are so many different themed oriented accessories to choose from. I was very impressed with the seasonal themed accessories. I would have chosen the winter wonderland accessories if we were having our ceremony in the winter months. The winter wonderland accessories were so gorgeous. But, for July I chose my favorite, an ocean side theme. I have to admit, it was pretty awesome. The reception was a lot of fun, and my guests were really impressed with the reception and wedding accessories I had chosen. They particularly liked our wedding cake topper. It was a lovely cake topper of the bride and groom on the beach.

They thought our champagne glasses were quite special too. Everything looked perfect, from our wedding cake server set to our lovely centerpieces I had for everyones table. Our beautiful ocean side themed favor boxes really added to the table décor. I was totally surprised that I was able to find so many choices of beach themed accessories and reception supplies by going online. And the prices were so affordable. Finding my accessories and supplies while browsing the web was a lot easier and much more convenient than I expected. If I would have seen all the wonderful accessories and party supplies they had, I would have ordered them for my friends baby shower that I gave.

I knew I’d have plenty of pictures of the wedding and reception, so I purchased two of their beautiful albums. I found two gorgeous photo albums with scrapbooking and a special place for my keepsakes inside. Anything you need for your wedding and your reception, they’ve got it.

A lot of our guests complimented me on our reception decorations and our wedding decor. We all had such a wonderful time, dancing and sharing this day together. I was having so much fun with all our guests, I hated to leave the reception. But it was time to start on our fabulous honeymoon. I was really excited about this trip, not just because it was our honeymoon, but I’ve never been to any place like this before. I have a feeling this is the start of many years of excitement and happiness to come.

  After the ceremony the newly married couple made their way down the aisle and out to their car as we tossed confetti that was given to us as we entered the church. Then they were on their way to the reception. And so were we.

   She did a fantastic job with the wedding table decorations. Each and every table was so elegantly prepared with crystal champagne flutes, wine glasses and the most adorable place card holders you’ve ever seen. I was so happy to find out we could keep them after the reception. That was a first for me. Their wedding cake was a work of art. It was a white cake with lemon filling and covered in white icing with drippings of yellow down each layer. The wedding cake decorations were beautiful, with yellow, blue and pink floral pattern circleing each layer. The wedding cake topper was made of crystal and shined as much as the rest of her bridal table.

   On the reception tables for her guests, along with the beautiful glassware and china, she had the loviest favor boxes setting right next to our place card holders. The boxes were made of porcelain and came with a personalized hang tag for each and everyone of us. The favor boxes themselves would make a wonderful keepsake all by itself. But they had given us lovely little floating candles as favors. I not only got a wedding favor I can actually get some use out of, but an added décoration for my living room shelf. It really was quite special, as was everything at her ceremony and reception.  

   On each and every reception table was a very tall vase filled with long stemed flowers that she had as the wedding center pieces. It felt as if we were all setting under a tree filled with the aromatic atmosphere of a well endowed garden. I’ve never seen such lovely flowers as these. I know she received many compliments on the beautiful reception she had planned, and they were well deserved.

   After they had their traditional bride and groom dance together, everyone was on the dance floor enjoying the terrific music the band was playing. It was a lot of fun. There was even some line dancing, which I had to get into. The party lasted three or four hours after the happy couple made their exit. With all the food and music they had, no one seemed ready to go home in a hurry.

   When I did get home that night, I put my little porcelain favor box and my beautiful floating candle on the shelf in my living room.  It looks so nice next to all the mementos of other weddings, showers and christening parties I’ve been too.  I’m getting myself quite a collection started. In four months, there’s another wedding I’m attending. It will be my own wedding and reception, and I intend to buy an extra wedding favor just for me and add that to my collection of happy moments.
