Traditional Wedding Supplies and Decorations

The date is set, save-the-dates have been sent, the church and reception, finalized. The next priority for the couple is to make sure that a checklist of all the necessary wedding supplies is in order. One way to tackle the wedding supplies checklist is to organize by location. Creating a separate category for wedding supplies needed for the church and the reception can help keep things straight.

If you're thinking, what's the difference? Here's a quick breakdown:

Wedding ceremony decorations and accessories include flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillows, wedding candles, unity candle, aisle runner, ceremony programs, and wedding rice. During the reception, the supplies needed for traditional weddings include wedding guestbook, wedding bells, wedding cake servers, cake toppers, toasting flutes, wedding card boxes, wedding napkins, centerpieces, place cards, and wedding favors.

Even traditional weddings have room for a little personality. Wedding supplies and décor can tie in with a wedding theme to create an unforgettable experience. A wedding guestbook can match the ring bearer pillow, aisle runner, unity candles, and programs. For example, the couple's names and wedding date can be embossed onto the programs and guest book, while the rest of the supplies and accessories can be embellished with silver ribbons to stay consistent with the theme and a silver monogram can be printed on the aisle runner, wedding napkins, and wedding favor tags.

Wedding favor tags are perfect add-ons for any wedding favors. Favor boxes can be personalized with a hang tag that has as simple a text as the names of the bride and groom or "thank you". Wedding favor tags are also useful for personalizing favors such as scented candles or a wine bottle stopper.

Some wedding supplies and accessories can double as decorations. Wedding favors like cookies in individual cellophane bags may be arranged as centerpieces. Place cards and place card holders can stand out in a table setting with the right color and design. Wedding napkins when personalized can create a splash in a typical table setting too.

Great lighting and impressive decorating schemes can be achieved by providing the right candles. Wine cork candles put in place of corks of wine bottles will delight guests with its ingenuity. Seashell tea light candles that can serve as party favors may be lighted for beach-themed weddings to create a tropical feel to a reception.
