Beach Wedding Decorations

-- Beach Wedding Decorations --

While a beach offers a stunning backdrop for a marriage ceremony, a few well placed beach wedding decorations will make your event extra special! From ceremony décor to bringing the theme straight through to your reception, you can make a beach theme come to life before your guests’ eyes!

Beach Wedding Ceremony Decorations

Where will your ceremony be held? Will it be right on the beach, or in a gazebo or pier looking over the water? Maybe you plan to marry at a church but want to maintain a beachy feel. You can bring a bit of oceanic style to your ceremony by decorating with beach wedding decorations. Consider lining the aisle with beautiful conch shells. Palm frawns can add major impact due to their size, elegance, and lovely color. Use them to decorate the aisle, create a chuppah, or simply to decorate the entryway.

Keeping Your Décor

Don’t forget to arrange to have someone bring your ceremony décor to your reception site! This can save you a lot of money; and your ceremony beach wedding decorations can seamlessly become part of the décor at your reception site!

Beach Wedding Reception Decorations

When it’s time to celebrate your union with a reception, the décor can create an ambiance that you and your guests will remember forever. If you want to have a beachy theme, this is the time to really carry it out! You will need to consider centerpieces, cocktail décor, head table décor, cake table, beach wedding cake and general food display. Each element can have it’s own beach décor added to it.

Beach Centerpieces

For centerpieces that will make your guests feel like they are dining seaside, use seashells, beachy grasses, and real sand to make the look come together. You may wish to use flowers to add a touch of elegance; if not, you can still have beautiful centerpieces! Consider sand castles, or arrange candles in some sand with seashells and stones for a natural look.

Beach Wedding Cake

Your wedding cake is the best of both worlds: it should look wonderful, and taste amazing! Take some cues from the beach and make your wedding cake have some beach elements: chocolate shapes seashells as decorations, unique beach cake toppers, such as a crystal pair of dolphins, and interestingly shaped cakes can all be used to set the tone. Decorate the table with sand dollars, starfish, conch, and stones to add to the look!

Food Presentation

If you’re having a beach-themed wedding, serving up some serious seafood is a must! Consider displaying a gorgeous seafood display, complete with lobster, shrimp, crab legs, and oysters. Use stunning ice sculptures to display the naturally beautiful shells! Yummo!

All in the Details

Creating a pulled-together themed event is all about the details. Put a bit of extra thought into each and every component of your event. Place cards can be displayed in shells, or printed with a fun fish motif. The bathrooms can be decorated with an elegant display of seashells in a tall vase. Guests can pose for pictures in front of a one-of-a-kind “under the sea” mural. Have a ball working with your beach wedding decorations, (don't forget the beach wedding dress!) and your guests will feel like they attended a marriage of a mermaid princess!
