What could be more romantic than a wedding held in the month of Februrary? It seemed like a great idea me, so I opted to have my wedding day decorated with the emblem of love all over our wedding ceremony and reception. The first thing I bought was a gorgeous bridal tiara that I picked out over the Internet. There were many wonderful decorations and supplies to choose from, such as the invitations I bought. The cards we used as wedding invitations had a pair of hearts on the front of them, both silver. The inside was very pretty to look at, and it had everything printed out in there already when we received them, so all we had to do was write in the place and time and we were all set.
But that was only the beginning, after I mailed out the invitations I had to start planning the décor and ordering the supplies I would need. I selected a red velvet set of ribbons and bows that I would put on the end of and string between the church pews. The altar was beautifully decorated, with wonderful candle holders and candles, including our unity candle which was adorned with a heart made of red roses. We used red roses all over the wedding ceremony, like in my bouquet, where they were mixed with pink roses, and throughout the church. We had doves let out of cages as my groom and I departed from the church building, and it was one extra touch that I thought was just majestic.
The wedding apparel that would be worn by those who were going to be in the wedding had already been selected. The basket for the flower girl was going to be adorned with white satin, with lace and bows on each side. The rings also had a white satin ribbon on them, with a white pillow that had a gold double hearts wedding insignia on it for our ring bearer. My flower girl was going to wear a small tiara, and it was very similar in appearance to the one I had picked out for myself. She wore a pretty pink dress, made for a flower girl, and she did such a wonderful job as a flower girl and looked so brilliant that I thought she did look like royalty. With his tiny tuxedo and red boutonniere, the ring bearer boy did as good of a job and he looked just as adorable. He carried the ring pillow like a pro and kept in step with the rest of the wedding party. I was very glad that I chose to include both of them.
Our hearts wedding was perfect and the ceremony was gorgeous with all the lovely flowers and decorations for a romantic setting. Weddings are romantic anyway, but ours was very special. Even our guests commented on the décor and my lovely bridal accessories, including our heart designed wedding guestbook that came in one of the fantastic wedding collection sets they had online. I was so glad everyone liked the crystal heart favors I selected. My sister said she was going to put her heart favor right on her bedroom dressing table, because it was so beautiful. I’m also glad I did my wedding shopping online. I don’t think I could have done any better in the bridal shops than I did on my computer.
Everything at our wedding and reception was the perfect picture of a true valentines day wedding with all the hearts and flowers imaginable. I’m just glad I had the internet to turn to, it made everything so much easier.
