As soon as we set the date I wanted to get a jump start on checking out the bridal accessories I may need. I wanted to stay up to date in bridal fashion, but at the same time try to stay within our agreed budget for our accessories and supplies. I found quite a bit of discount and wholesale items, including some beautiful bridal hair accessories. But before I could order or even choose anything I had to talk to my fiance and make sure he was alright with the plans we had already discussed. To start with we decided that we wanted to have a theme wedding and we agreed to make it a beach themed wedding and reception. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.
I ordered beach invitations right away so they would be on their way to our friends and family, first thing. There were no no’s in the RSVP’S, and they all seemed to be really looking forward to our wedding day. With that out of the way it was time to start looking for all of my wedding accessories I would need. I was surprised at all the accessories they carried for weddings and receptions, and I shop online quite a bit. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. I also found wedding jewelry that I really wanted to wear for my ceremony. I looked at all the jewelry and found the necklace and earring set I wanted to wear with my wedding dress. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.
There were a lot of fashionable accessories that were so beautiful and most of the items were reasonable in price. There were even a lot of honeymoon accessories available that I ordered. I know that a short thin materialed dress would have been more appropriate for a beach ceremony, but I had my heart set on my full length gown. My bridesmaids and flower girl wore knee length satin dresses with spaghetti straps to help keep them cool and comfortable. They were all so elegant, they could have been on the cover of a bridal magazine.
There were tiki torches and those little white christmas lights everywhere and a dance floor my fiance had fixed there. The reception tables had been decorated in an oceanside motif and the little sailboat place card holders was a great addition. As wedding favors I wanted to give them something special from the seaside collection, so I chose the beach themed photo frames for each of them. Everyone seemed to like the gifts they received. On the bride and groom table were our toasting flutes, lovely candles in their beach theme holders and lots of lovely tealights. Our wedding cake topper was especially designed for a beach wedding just as all our other accessories for our reception. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. With all the items and bridal accessories they had available, it was easy to make this wedding and reception a total success. We danced, ate tons of seafood, like shrimp, crab, lobster and of course we had other foods for those that didn’t like seafood. Everyone danced, ate and just had a fantastic time. It was a little sad when we had to leave for our honeymoon and everyone was still partying it up.
As soon as we returned from our honeymoon I got out my beautiful beach themed wedding guest book and started writing thank you cards to our friends and family. Whenever I want to remember my wedding day, I’ll take out my beach themed photo album and look at all the pictures we had taken.
