We attended a wedding and reception for a couple of friends of ours last week. It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception was simply awesome. The decorations were done very tastefully and the reception tables shined and sparkled with crystal glassware, lovely china and the centerpieces were exquisite. She did a really nice job planning this reception. They had one of the most gorgeous italian wedding favors for each of us. It was a beautiful mini crystal carousel. Even the packaging was beautiful. They were packaged in heart shaped boxes with a lining of Ivory satin and wrapped in a ribbon with a little thank you card attached. The place card holders she chose were really unique, too. They were gorgeous little crystal butterflies, resting on a mirror, with a heart shaped holder for the name cards. But I think the most impressive wedding accessory they had, sat on top of their exquisite wedding cake. It had a pearl heart for an arch, two glass hummingbirds, a porcelain rose and beautiful organza skirting. It would take your breath away. I think the wedding ceremony was beautiful, but the tables at the reception were even more so.

There is a quaint little Christmas Tree Shop that sits at the end of Elf Cottage Lane in North Pole, Indiana. It has soft and golden twinkle lights trimming the outside of the green and red cottage with beautiful robust pine trees filling the interior. The trees are live and thriving for customers that have a special love and delight at Christmas time. The trees are decorated with individually tailored lighting, bulbs and sashes that compliment their size, height and demeanor. The wonderful spirit of Christmas fills the air in the shop and customers come from near and far just to look and be consumed with the nostalgic feeling of Christmas in Merry Old England Style. There is even a special corner of the shop that has history books about traditional decorations, colors and tree types and their meaning regarding Christmas messages. Restore your spirit of the true meaning of Christmas with a special tree decorated from the heart. This shop is waiting for the child in each of us to discover its holiday charm.

I ordered a very special wedding cake topper for our beautiful three tier cake. The bride and groom were exact replicas of us. They had our faces on the figurines. It’s really pretty terrific to have a keepsake that no other bride has. This is totally a one of a kind. We were also able to get out guests thank you gifts and the holders for our name cards all personalized with our names and the date of our ceremony. There are quite a few exceptional accessories and reception supplies online.
