I debated a long time before deciding on what type of wedding ceremony and reception I wanted to have. I checked on three different themes, beach, garden and country western. But on the other hand there is a lot to be said for tradition. Destination weddings also sounds like a great idea. A destination wedding in Vegas or maybe the mysterious ocean side in Hawaii sounded awesome. I would probably go for the Hawaii destination. But then I thought about all the people that would be disappointed that they couldn’t be there, and I had to toss that idea in the dumpster.
There were other ideas too, like a white winter theme ceremony. But since we were getting married in July, that just didn’t seem appropriate. So I decided to go with every young girls dream of marrying a prince, and chose to have a storybook wedding, just like in the fairy tales I read as a child. I also found a place to get the perfect fairy tale wedding cake for a gorgeous royal wedding. So my decision was made. I wanted a fairy tale wedding and reception.
Through online shopping I found lovely story book invitations. Then I started choosing my wedding and reception accessories and supplies. My wedding dress was absolutely gorgeous and the bridesmaids and flower girl had beautiful dresses that were floor length. All of the groomsmen and the ring boy looked so handsome in their tuxes, but the best looking one of all, was my regal prince. I could feel all eyes on me as I walked down the aisle, and half way expected them to bow to their new queen. Our wedding ceremony was more beautiful than I could have hoped for. All of the gorgeous décor only added to the beauty of our ceremony. As we were leaving the church, everyone tossed rose petals and cheered us on. Outside we climbed into a gorgeous horse drawn carriage to take us to the reception hall.
There were accessories that helped me to make our reception appear as elegant as a king’s castle. I had no problem when it came to the decorations or the wonderful wedding favors I had for our guests. I had every wedding gift done up in storybook themed favor boxes. I can’t believe all the accessories I was able to get for my fairy tale reception. They had storybook champagne flutes and little coaches for place card holders. They had everything imaginable for a storybook wedding and reception.
Everyone had a fabulous time and I received a lot of compliments on the décor. One of our guests stated that she’d never seen such a gorgeous ceremony as ours. I have to admit, it was quite special. I’m so glad that I chose this theme and found so many accessories to help me make it happen. Since this was a special day in my life, I wanted everything to be special. I made sure their wedding party favors were of a storybook theme, just like our wedding cake and other accessories. I felt that a momento of this special day would mean more than any other gift I could give them. A special something to remind them of sharing this very special ceremony with us.
I had a lot of thank you note to take care of when we got back from our honeymoon. Believe it or not, I was able to get thank you notes with a fairytale theme. I wouldn’t mind having a fairytale anniversary renewal ceremony.

Sunday, February 8th, 2009You have everything to match up perfectly for your wedding ceremony, right? Your bridesmaids dresses compliment the brides beautiful wedding gown and the colors you’ve decided on all work together to make your ceremony absolutely gorgeous. It should be the same for your reception too. From the cake decorations to the wedding favors each item should compliment the other. If you have a theme to work with it can be a lot easier to set the perfect mood you’re going for. Once you’ve decided on the theme you want, you can find just about anything you need to make your dream wedding happen.
There are lots of choices when it comes to finding a décor that’s right for you and your fiance. There is the traditional and there are also seasonal themes you can choose from, which many couples use today. In the summer, the most popular of these are the beach weddings and receptions. There are many accessories and reception supplies you can find to turn your reception into a super beach party and your wedding ceremony into an ocean side paradise. From the altar to the favor boxes you place on your reception tables, you can find exactly what you’re looking for. Garden weddings are also very popular, with all the bridesmaids and your little flower girl in sun hats and beautiful spring colored dresses with flowers everywhere in the background.
Perhaps you’ve decided on a winter wonderland theme, with snowflakes hanging from the ceiling of your reception hall. Maybe even a christmas tree or two with the bride and grooms gifts placed decoratively underneath. There are plenty of available ideas for the perfect seasonal wedding and reception. You can even buy fake snow which you can line the window sills of the church with and place some around the altar for that perfect winter scene. Little white christmas lights also add to the ambiance.
Maybe a more down home style is what you’re looking for, like a country western affair with picnic tables, checkered table cloths and some great country cuisine. Barbecues are one suggestion for country western receptions. You may even be able to find a farm that you can rent for the occasion or perhaps you know someone that would let you use theirs. You can have hayrides, line dancing, and great foods like barbecued ribs, chicken and steaks. Metal watering cans with wildflowers as your centerpieces also adds a nice touch to the country setting. This is my favorite theme because there is just so much you can do with it, from the cake topper to the wedding favor boxes you can find everything country western for your tables.
