We decided on having a fantastic hearts wedding ceremony to celebrate our union, because our wedding date was right around Valentines day. It seemed like the perfect theme for our ceremony and reception. I checked out all the options there were for hearts wedding favors and accessories for both the church and the reception hall. There were a lot of selections to choose from for a lovely heart wedding décor. There were lovely unity and taper candles for a very romantic setting and even a collection set of heart wedding accessories that came together for one great low price. There were collection sets of five to eight pieces all together, like our lovely basket, ring pillow, guestbook and more.
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. On the scene at the wedding, we put many pink and red roses mixed together, in the floral bouquet that I carried. 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. I picked out a white satin basket that had bows and lace decorating it for our flower girl. There was a white double hearts wedding themed pillow with a pair of gold hearts on it that we got for our ring boy to use, along with a white ribbon made of satin for the rings. 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. He carried the ring pillow like a pro and kept in step with the rest of the wedding party. I was so proud of both of them.
The tables that our reception each had a floral arrangement of pink, red, and white roses with small hearts mixed in with them in the center of the table. I got a place card holder that was the prettiest I had ever seen for each place setting, and two hearts wedding candles that made it feel like love was in the air. I picked out small silver bells with handles in the form of a heart to give each of our guests as a present that would be a memento of our wedding. Our wedding cake was decorated with little hearts all around the bottom layer and little tiny pink and red roses trimmed each layer. 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.
