I started looking for all the accessories and supplies I needed for our wedding day, just as soon as we set the date. I'm an online shopaholic, so, my first course of action was to hit the web. I'm glad I did too, with all they had to offer there was no problem finding everything I needed to plan the perfect wedding and reception. Starting with the beautiful invitations I chose, and finishing with the super wedding favors for our friends and family.

We had no problem choosing the theme we wanted for our wedding and reception, it had to be a beach theme. The beach has been a special place for us and our friends ever since we were kids.

I immediately picked out our beach wedding invitations and made sure our potential guests received them promptly. All the guests we invited said they would be there and that they can hardly wait to watch us walk down the aisle. Now, since the invitations were taken care of, I could concentrate on finding the bridal accessories I want for my wedding. Even though I shop online all the time, I never expected to find such a big selection of wedding accessories. I saw a gorgeous tiara and hair comb in the selection, and I just had to have them. The wedding jewelry I found was just as gorgeous as the hair accessories I chose. My wedding dress and the lovely necklace and earring set I ordered for my wedding day looked fantastic together. It was so beautiful with little pearls and glistening crystals, it looked fantastic.

There was so much in the way of bridal fashion that was absolutely exquisite and the best part was, it wasn't all that expensive. I ordered some things for our honeymoon too. 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. There were satin summer dresses for my bridesmaids and my flower girl, that had a knee length hemline. Everyone of them looked stunning and my flower girl was so adorable.

Our reception tables were all set up on the beach with tiki torches scattered all around and lights strung up by the make shift dance floor we had. On the reception tables there were seashells and starfish scattered about and place card holders that were adorable little sailboats. 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.

Our wedding table was beautifully set with beach themed champagne flutes, little beach tealights and lovely beach themed candles and holders. Everything at our wedding reception came with a beach theme d'cor, including our fantastic wedding cake topper. A man and woman taking a casual walk on the shore was the wedding cake topper I chose for our reception. Thanks to all the supplies and bridal accessories I had to choose from, our wedding and reception was everything I had hoped it would be. There was so much seafood, such as lobsters, crabs and shrimp and we also had plenty of chicken and steaks for the non seafood eaters. We all had a wonderful time enjoying good food and good music to dance too. I kinda hated to leave the party for our honeymoon, everyone was having such a great time.

After we returned from our honeymoon, I had to get down to writing all the thank you notes to our guests. That was a day I'll always remember and I'll have lots of photos in my beach wedding album to look at and relive again and again.
