The Party Thai

What better day for two people to marry than on Valentine’s 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 found the invitations I wanted in no time. They were such pretty invitations with little silver hearts linked together on the front. I messed up the writing on a couple of them, I’m so glad my mom suggested I buy extra just in case.

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. She was a big help, once she stopped crying at every gown I walked out in. After hitting every shop in town and checking out the many styles that were available, I found the perfect wedding dress for me. It only took the groom to be and his groomsmen one stop to find their tuxes. I half way expected him to be dressed like a pall bearer, since he took the first thing he looked at. But I was wrong, he did good, and he looked extremely handsome.

After I took care of everything the wedding party needed, it was time to consider ceremony decorations. I hung big red velvet bows at the end of the pews and made sure there were plenty of red roses arranged around the room and at the altar. I bought a gorgeous unity candle with a love theme and surrounded it with lots of other beautiful candles. The church allowed me to have red and pink rose petals tossed down the aisle by our flower girl. There’s a lot of churches that frown on that tradition, but luckily ours isn’t one of them. Everything went off without a hitch and the decorations were as perfect as our wedding ceremony.

Even though I did quite a bit of shopping for our wedding ceremony, there was even more to do for our reception. Our supplies for the reception started with love theme decorations with a love theme and ended with fall in love favors. The decorations were really quite exquisite with hearts dangling from the ceiling and flowers everywhere. We had a heart shaped arch made of red and white balloons placed on the dance floor where the band was playing.

Our tables were so groovy with all the lovely centerpieces of flowers and a little cupid in each one. 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  love favors we had for our guests. Our guests complimented us on our reception table décor and especially the little exquisite favor boxes. The bridal table was decorated pretty elaborately too. We were toasted with our lovely crystal heart champagne flutes and next to our wedding cake was our beautiful love cake serving set. The wedding cake was by far the most beautiful thing on our table. On top of our gorgeous cake sat a love birds cake topper. 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.

I got to the thank you notes for our guests as soon as we got back from our fabulous honeymoon. A lot of the guests sent thank you cards saying what a great time they had, and how much they appreciated the love party favors we bought for them. I think that was very thoughtful.
