Its been many years since my wedding and I can't believe how much everything has changed for the better, including the decorations. It's amazing what is out there and the variety you can choose from. There were plenty of suggestions for beach weddings that I thought were very nice with little seashells, starfish and other oceanside designs. There were also some pretty clever ideas for garden and other summer and spring weddings and receptions. You could get beautiful accessories for all 4 seasons. The season that was amazing was the winter season because of all the Christmas colors and decorations you can add to your reception. Did you know that some couples actually have a winter wedding outside? To me having a wedding in the winter outside would be a beautiful site to see and yet a little way out of the norm. I think I'd rather have my winter wonderland wedding and reception, indoors, where it's warm. Maybe a ski resort would be a good place for a winter wedding, with all the fireplaces and cozy winter atmosphere.



An autumn wedding is so gorgeous and one of my favorite seasons, and has lot to offer in wedding accessories and reception supplies. Autumn is the best season for me and the best time to have a wedding, with it's colorful background as your main motif. My wedding day was so long ago that the choices we had were being married in the church or running away and getting married. Now there are so many different types of weddings you can really have your ceremony exactly the way you want to. I've heard of weddings where the location is out of state or even the country and all the friends and famliy fly to that location to have the wedding ceremony. It's like having a family elopement. There are also a variety of suggestions for everything from traditional to destination weddings that you can buy for your reception.

Soon my daughter will be getting married and I have been helping her to prepare for her country western wedding and reception. At first I thought that idea was just a little out there, but the more we got into the actual planning, the more I liked it. She found cake toppers that have a western theme to them, plus everything she needed for her bridal table, including western champagne flutes. They're really quite unique looking. She hired a country band and placed grills and hay around for the party setting. She plans to string lights and lanterns everywhere outside for her big country reception party. Also she purchased centerpieces and name card holders that are western style. They've arranged to rent a dude ranch for this event, which really surprised me, because, I didn't know you could even do that. She purchased many wedding and reception embellishments on the internet and they went with the country western style. She ordered delightful for all their friends and family and cowboy hats for the bride and groom.

It's looks like when this is finished being planned, that it will be a big family barbecue with dear friends. I know it will be a lot of fun and enjoyment for everybody. I was surprised to hear that they are going to have a barn dance in a good ole country western style. Now that I knew what to expect I decided to get all the western gear, like blue jeans, cowboy boots, and cowboy hats so I can participate in all the fun. This wedding is going to be the wedding of the year and probably won't be forgotten for a long time. Thanks to my daughters great country themed wedding, she's given me a great idea for our anniversary.
