We weren’t quite sure about the date we wanted to get married on, so I decided to check out al the themes they had available on the internet, first. I really liked the beach themed wedding idea, but that would mean we would have to wait even longer, and we didn’t want to do that. The winter theme wouldn’t give me enough time for planning, so we decided on a romantic hearts wedding in February. That’s the perfect month for hearts, flowers and romance. At the super online wedding store I found everything I needed including gorgeous little hearts wedding favors to give out as thank you gifts. I decided to get all of our friends and family a hearts wedding favor and one for each member of our wedding party as an extra little thank you. Inviting people, of course, was just the first phase, so I went right from that onto setting up the overall look and feel of the wedding, and then gathering together the supplies and accessories to make it work. I bought large scarlet bows made of velvet to put on the church pews with a ribbon that would run from one pew to the next. At the altar were candelabras and our beautiful unity candle with the heart of little roses on the front. There were also red and pink roses to help with the décor of the wedding site and red and white roses in my bridal bouquet. I even went as far as to have caged doves to be released as we exited the church.
We had figured out what our young ring boy and flower girl and everyone else was going to wear. As a flower girl basket, I decided to go with a gorgeous white satin with lovely lace and satin 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. So did the ring boy, he was quite elegant in his little tuxedo with a red boutonniere in his lapel. When he walked, he didn’t get out of sync with everyone else, and he bore the rings in distinguished fashion. I was very glad that I chose to include both of them.
The centerpieces we had made up for the reception dinner had tiny hearts intermixed with roses that were white, pink, and red. We placed two hearts wedding candles on each table in order to create the ambiance of romance that I wanted to achieve, and they were accompanied by the what I considered to be the best thank you gift available. The wedding favors we got our guests should be a terrific souvenir from our wedding; they had handles in the shape of a heart attached to tiny silver bells. There were frosting hearts all around the bottom layer of our wedding cake, and each layer was decked out in pink and red roses all around. Our hearts wedding cake had a white porcelain topper on it that complimented the rest of our cake décor beautifully.
Our entire wedding day called to mind love and Valentine’s Day, filled with flowers and hearts galore. I feel fortunate that I was able to use the Internet to the extent that I did because it made everything much more efficient.
