Decorating for a beach wedding is an oceanic adventure!
While most brides opt for turquoise, water, and seashell inspired themes, you can bring virtually any idea along for a beach wedding – the stunning backdrop is already there!
Seashell, Seashell…Shells can be used in so many different ways to bring more of a sea-theme to your wedding day! Consider using large conch shells to line the aisle with – and then have them reappear at your reception as a part of your centerpieces, cake-table décor, or buffet decoration. Sea shells can be hot glued in advance to tulle to add a whimsical element to billowing curtains, and even given out in little organza bags as party gifts!
Message in a BottleAdd a romantic twist to your seaside nuptials by incorporating a “message in a bottle” theme to your day. Have a drawing of a bottle containing a scroll on your invitations, then continue the theme throughout the day. Have guests find their tables by selecting a scroll with their name on it poking out of a bottle, or have each place setting adorned with a bottle holding a rolled up menu. -- Tropical Wedding Decorations --
Colorful BeachYou’re not limited to blue and sand-color just because you are having your wedding on the beach! Any color scheme will work with this magnificent background! For a sunset ceremony, take cues from nature: rich peaches, oranges, yellows and reds will look stunning. Coral is a hot color and will be flattering on your bridesmaids as well as the perfect selection for your bridal bouquet! Even dark colors like black or navy will look beautiful on the beach, so have fun choosing a color theme that works for you! Once you’ve selected your color, you can integrate it into as many parts of your wedding as you like.
TulleTulle is a fabric made of netting that is perfect for wedding day décor. Use it to embellish an archway, drape a gazebo, or adorn your chairs. A combination of white and colored tulle is stylish and simple to work with – it is versatile, elegant, and affordable! Tie tulle to lanterns, sign posts, and entrances for an easy hit of festivity, and adorn it with flowers, seashells, and ribbons to your heart’s content! -- Tropical Wedding Decorations --
Beachy ThemeThere are so many gorgeous elements that come from the water that you can tie into your beach wedding. Sand dollars, starfish, and seashells are just a few! What about featuring a comical set of kissing fish on all your wedding stationary? Or two beach chairs set amicably together, representing you and your partner? A sandcastle, for the princess in you is a fairy-tale like touch. Your beach theme can show up everywhere: cakes, cake toppers, invitations, music, centerpieces, dresses and overall décor can all be inspired by whatever “sub-theme” you choose!
Beach CenterpiecesWhen it comes to centerpieces, the trick is to go low or go high, allowing your guests to enjoy conversation without having to look under or over an elaborate centerpiece. If you are having a beach wedding, you may want to incorporate some elements of your location in your centerpiece. Consider floating candles, a vase filled with stones or shells to hold a simple flower arrangement, or a simple arrangement of a tray filled with sand and candles. Choosing to get married on a beach is one of the most popular locations today, whether you choose an exotic beach destination or a local childhood hotspot! You can take the beach theme as far as you want, using it as simply a backdrop for your vows or as an overall theme. You may even get a little carried away – and do a modern trash-your-dress photo shoot where you end up splashing around in the waves in your gown! -- Tropical Wedding Decorations --
