The wedding bells rang, rose petals were being tossed and our friends and family were yelling their congratulations as we left the church for our lovely limo ride to the reception. That’s how it was on our wedding day. I have to say, it was a an unforgettable ceremony too, and with all the help I got on accessory suggestions, it wasn’t hard to put it all together. With all the exceptional accessories and supplies at my disposal there was no way this wedding and reception wouldn’t be a success.
Starting with the invitations and ending with the perfect little thank you gifts, they had it all. Our invitations were quite lovely with the silver printing on the front. There was a gorgeous flower girl basket and ring pillow among all the accessories that I decided to buy for our ceremony. It was a beautiful satin garnet color and included a wedding guest book, pen set and wedding garter. A five piece wedding set that wasn’t very expensive at all.
I also picked out an aisle runner along with other accessories for our wedding. We wanted to have a wedding bell favor and we loved it! All the little bells were ringing at the end of the ceremony, as we made our way to the limo. I really liked the idea of the bell ringing.
I didn’t just order things for my ceremony, I also ordered everything I needed for our reception too. They really had quite a collection of gorgeous wedding reception accessories to choose from. I have this thing for shiny things, and I found a lot of crystal glassware, including beautiful champagne flutes for our reception tables. There were twisted stemmed flutes which I ordered for our guests and a special toasting flute set I ordered especially for the bride and groom for our table. Wedding bells favors really made our tables shine with elegance, and I thought it would be a nice gift for our guests as a little something extra to show our appreciation.
I could have bought every gorgeous item they had on their list, but I think I would have been overdoing it just a little. Glass coasters was our choice of wedding favor gifts for our guests. They had a lovely calla lilie design on them that was absolutely beautiful. I also chose these very elegant looking favor boxes with a little thank you tag on them, for the wedding favors. The shiny gift boxes added that extra sparkle to our guests tables. On each reception table was a centerpiece I made up of lovely flowers and some very elegant candles.
At the end of the reception hall was our wedding cake on a special little table. Chocolate and cherries three tiers high with a very lovely cake topper resting on top. Our topper was really exquisite, with calla lilies and a beautiful ribbon, tied in a bow. Everything at our reception turned out to be perfect. With all the tons of wedding pictures we had, I finally had to order another wedding album to store them all in. There were so many shots of us with our wedding cake and the traditional cutting and sharing of the very first piece. There were also pictures of our first dance together as man and wife, our guests on the dance floor and an adorable picture of the flower girl and ring boy dancing together.
Our friends and family told me they had a fantastic time at our reception and that they think I did a spectacular job in planning the wedding décor. I plan on having another wedding ceremony and reception for our anniversary one year and I was so glad to hear that my wonderful husband thinks that’s a fantastic idea.
