What better day for two people to marry than on Valentine's day? We both agreed that Valentines day would be our wedding day. After we picked the church and the place for our reception, I started shopping for wedding invitations. I found the invitations I wanted in no time. The silver hearts linked together on the invitations looked so romantic. Im glad I listened to my mom and bought extra wedding invitations, because while writing them out I made a few mistakes.

It was time to start thinking about my wedding accessories and reception supplies, since Ive got the invitations mailed out. My mom and I went shopping for my bridal dress and shoes, together. Once she got past the tears at the first sight of every wedding dress I tried on, she was a big help. 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. Since he wasnt too choosy about his wedding attire, I was a little worried that hed look more like a pall bearer than a groom. But that wasnt the case, he really looked fantastic.

After making sure the wedding partys needs were handled, I started to work on decorations for the church ceremony. 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. You have to have permission from churches now to follow that tradition, because many of them would rather you not throw things like petals on the aisles, thankfully, that wasnt the case with our church. 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 decorations with a love theme and ended with love wedding favors. There were bouquets of red roses placed everywhere and little red hearts hung from above. On the dance floor just in front of the band was a huge heart made of red and white balloons.

On our tables were little cupids sticking our of centerpieces of gorgeous flowers. Our little place card holders had beautiful little white pearls on them. There were some fantastic favors boxes to choose from for the love favors we bought for our friends and family. Some guests were commenting on how lovely the tables were with all the flowers and the lovely favor boxes. The bridal table was decorated pretty elaborately too. There were crystal heart champagne flutes for our wedding toast, and an absolutely gorgeous love themed 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.

As soon as the honeymoon was over, I began filling out thank you cards for our friends and family. 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.
