What better day for two people to marry than on Valentine’s day? My fiance and I both agreed on that day, we would get married. I went shopping for our ‘in love wedding favor‘ just as soon as we had all the arrangements for the church and our reception taken care of. I had no problem finding the perfect invitations for our wedding and reception. They were such pretty invitations with little silver hearts linked together on the front. I messed up the writing on a couple of them, I’m so glad my mom suggested I buy extra just in case.
With the wedding invitations out of the way, I knew it was time to start on the wedding and reception supplies. My mom and I went shopping for my bridal dress and shoes, together. Once she got past the tears at the first sight of every wedding dress I tried on, she was a big help. After several shops and about a hundred different styles of wedding dresses, I found the one I wanted. All the guys in the wedding party and the handsome groom found their tuxes on their very first try. I was praying that he wouldn’t give the appearance of a pall bearer standing at the altar, because he picked the first suit he tried on. I shouldn’t have been worried, he looked absolutely perfect standing at the altar.
After I took care of everything the wedding party needed, it was time to consider ceremony decorations. I had red roses arranged around the altar and throughout the room, with ribbon and red velvet bows hung on every pew. The altar was covered in candle light and I found the most beautiful themed unity candle for our ceremony. I was given permission for the flower girl to toss the red and pink flower petals on the aisle. Most churches won’t allow that anymore, but ours was pretty nice about it. Everything went off without a hitch and the decorations were as perfect as our wedding ceremony.
I thought there was a lot to buy for the ceremony, but there was a lot more to get for the reception. There was everything to buy from love themed reception decorations to love themed favors for our guests. I had beautiful red roses all around the room and hearts hanging from the ceiling. We had a heart shaped arch made of red and white balloons placed on the dance floor where the band was playing.
On our tables were little cupids sticking our of centerpieces of gorgeous flowers. The little white pearls on the place card holders really added to the love décor of the tables. There were some fantastic favors boxes to choose from for the love favors we bought for our friends and family. Our guests complimented us on our reception table décor and especially the little favor boxes. Our wedding table looked gorgeous too. There were crystal heart champagne flutes for our wedding toast, and an absolutely gorgeous love themed cake serving set. But I think our three tiered wedding cake outshined everything on our table. On top of our gorgeous cake sat a love birds cake topper. Our bridal table was so fantastic with the crystal glassware and the beautifully decorated wedding cake.
Shopping online for all the accessories and supplies made this wedding the perfection of glamour and elegance.
After my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes for our guests. A lot of the guests sent thank you cards saying what a great time they had, and how much they appreciated the love party favors we bought for them. That was such a thoughtful thing to do.
