In love wedding favor

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Valentine’s day can be the perfect wedding 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. The silver hearts linked together on the invitations looked so romantic. Mom’s suggestion of buying extra invitations was really a good idea since I messed up two of them while writing them out.

Now that the invitations were on their way, it was time to do some major accessories shopping. I asked my mom to come along on my venture to the bridal shop for my dress and shoes. Once she got past the tears at the first sight of every wedding dress I tried on, she was a big help. I finally found the wedding gown I was meant to wear and it only took seven or eight shops and 25 or maybe, 30 dress styles to try on. It only took the groom to be and his groomsmen one stop to find their tuxes. Since he wasn’t too choosy about his wedding attire, I was a little worried that he’d look more like a pall bearer than a groom. 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. It was the perfect wedding ceremony and our church décor was absolutely lovely.

I had many more accessories to buy for our wedding reception than I did the ceremony. I started with the love themed decorations and worked my way onto fall in love favors for our guests thank you gifts. The decorations were really quite romantic with hearts dangling from the ceiling and flowers everywhere. In front of the band was red and white balloons in the shape of a large heart, right on the dance floor.

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. I also found very decorative favor boxes for the love favors we had for our guests. Our guests complimented us on our reception table décor and especially the little favor boxes. Our bridal wedding table was really exquisite too. We were toasted with our lovely crystal heart champagne flutes and next to our wedding cake was our beautiful love cake serving set. But the most beautiful thing on our table was our lovely three tiered wedding cake. For our cake topper I decided on these adorable little love birds. Everything on the wedding table was perfect, starting with our sparkling crystal all the way to the three tiered wedding cake.

Thanks to all the accessories and supplies I found online this wedding turned out to be absolutely perfect.

After my husband and I returned from our honeymoon, I got started on all the thank you notes for our guests. Many of the guests sent us thank you’s for the great time they had at the wedding and reception and for the love party favors gifts they received. That was truly very thoughtful of them.
