Is there any more effective way to express your love than to get married with a wedding in the same month as Valentine’s Day? It seemed like a great idea me, so I opted to have my wedding day decorated with the emblem of love all over our wedding ceremony and reception. The first thing I bought was a gorgeous bridal tiara that I picked out over the Internet. There were many wonderful decorations and supplies to choose from, such as the hearts and flowers decorations I bought. I mailed out small cards that had two silver-colored hearts on the front of them for our invitations. The only thing I really had to do was write in the information, like the place and the date, and the rest was already filled out in beautiful calligraphy when we got them.
Inviting people, of course, was just the first phase, so I went right from that onto setting up the overall look and feel of the wedding, and then gathering together the supplies and accessories to make it work. I selected a red velvet set of ribbons and bows that I would put on the end of and string between the church pews. At the altar were candelabras and our beautiful unity candle with the heart of little roses on the front. On the scene at the wedding, we put many pink and red roses mixed together, in the floral bouquet that I carried. We had doves let out of cages as my groom and I departed from the church building, and it was one extra touch that I thought was just majestic.
The wedding apparel that would be worn by those who were going to be in the wedding had already been selected. I picked out a white satin basket that had bows and lace decorating it for our flower girl. There was a white double hearts wedding themed pillow with a pair of gold hearts on it that we got for our ring boy to use, along with a white ribbon made of satin for the rings. My bridal tiara was a pretty good match for the one that I picked out for the flower girl to wear in the ceremony. She did look like a little princess in her lovely little pink flower girl dress, and she did such a super job in the ceremony. With his tiny tuxedo and red boutonniere, the ring bearer boy did as good of a job and he looked just as adorable. He carried the ring pillow like a pro and kept in step with the rest of the wedding party. I was so proud of both of them.
We had lovely centerpieces on the tables with a heart wedding design that was a combination of white roses and little red hearts. To cover our tables I chose white tablecloths with red table runners, which really set off the colors of the centerpieces quite well. I tried to keep everything in a hearts wedding motif as much as possible. Even our choice of place card holders and wedding favors had a heart design to it. On top of our wedding cake we had a gorgeous white porcelain heart and little tiny roses all around the edges of the layers. It really was as spectacular as the rest of the wedding and reception. Our special day turned into one of the best heart weddings you could ever imagine. Everything at our wedding and reception was the perfect picture of a true valentines day wedding with all the hearts and flowers imaginable. I feel fortunate that I was able to use the Internet to the extent that I did because it made everything much more efficient.

Beautiful Heart Favors!
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Nice heart wedding
Saturday, May 16th, 2009The theme they chose was a heart wedding, and it was a very loving one one for them to choose. Everything that had anything to do with the wedding had a heart design, the invites and gifts and everything. The RSVP info was printed on the attractive cheap hearts favors, which each had a pair silver hearts on their covers. With the silver on them, they were rather striking. They picked out very elegant candle holders for the unity and tapered candles, and of course there were two small hearts dangling from the unity candle. The look of the altar was glorious, with brilliant flower arrangements and candle settings. Hearts were on the sides of the church pew where the wedding tulle was attached. I guess when you get married on Valentine’s Day, hearts are really a big deal. It was an incredible wedding, highlighted by a bride that was so lovely, she could have been an angel.
At the reception there were hearts and flowers everywhere you looked. All the centerpieces were bouquets of gorgeous red and white roses, with little hearts sticking out of each one, and they had little silver hearts wedding place card holders at each table setting. The wine glasses and champagne glasses made the tables sparkle. She did an awesome job of designing the place settings at the reception. They had their names and the date of the wedding inscribed on the wine glasses, and the champagne flutes were crystal. On the table that the wedding party sat at, the new couple had very special champagne glasses. It was very much like the silver hearts wedding invitation they sent out; it was a silver double hearts wedding champagne glass for each of them.
They had a little magnificent hearts wedding cake with five layers of heavenly confection. It looked as good as it tasted. The cake topper she chose, believe it or not, wasn’t a heart, but, figurines that looked exactly like the bride and groom. That cake topper was one of a kind, and it was the first time I’ve ever seen something like that. She said she bought it at a wedding website where she got all of her accessories and reception supplies. They apparently do customizing on wedding toppers, and all she had to do was send in photos of her and her fiance and they made the special cake topper couple. Something like this has to be a really super wedding keepsake.
In the end, we gave a nice silver hearts wedding to all of the guests. One gift was an adorable votive candle holder, and the other was a package of coffee, decorated differently for the ladies versus the men, that came with a heart-shaped utensil to scoop the coffee with. I thought that was really a cute idea they came up with. Come to think of it, their entire wedding day was filled with sharp ideas they had. The whole hearts genre matched Valentine’s Day, but I was still surprised at how many supplies and wedding items she found to fit that theme. In my opinion, the wedding cake topper took the cake, so to speak. That could work great on a birthday cake or maybe even a graduation cake, not just a wedding cake. She informed me that they had products for any kind of gathering you might be throwing, and she agreed to show me the website. They couldn’t have put it together any better, and all of the people who went had a smashing time there. I’m sure the bride and groom are having a great week in Mexico too. When they get back home, I’m anxious to look through their pictures with them, and hear about all the fantastic things we saw and did in Mexico. The pictures she showed me on the brochures were fantastic.
