Beach Theme Wedding
Bring The Beach To Your Wedding
The beach is a place where a lot of couples are choosing to
celebrate their wedding. Not everybody is fortunate enough to live
in warm and beach accessible place, or have the resources to bring
all the guests to the beach. Instead, very cleverly applied
decorations have to be employed to bring the beach theme to the
wedding.
Begin by sending your guests message-in-a-bottle style invitations
with miniature bottles filled with colorful sand and the invitation
inside.

One idea to pull off the beach theme is to buy sky blue fabric and
drape the walls of the hall with it. This will transform the walls
to the clear blue skies that line the horizon on the perfect beach
day. Hang a big, bright ‘sun’ to in one corner.
Replace all the low voltage watt bulbs in the room with bright
yellow 100-200 watt bulbs to cloak to room in a sunny glow. Hang
beach balls and kites around the room as beach theme wedding
decorations instead of using balloons.
Continue decorating your beach theme wedding by scattering a few
umbrellas around the room. Then invite the guests to sit on lawn or
beach chairs strewn through out the hall or ball room where you hold
the wedding. In some places, have beach towels, straw mats and have
the younger or more agile guest sit, or lounge on the floor. The
newly weds should sit by a white arch covered with wild flowers and
ribbons.
The food and how it is served is a major part of decorating for a
beach theme wedding. Think back to your favorite beach days and
remember what you ate. Hamburgers and hotdogs grilled by the
boardwalk? You can set up an area where there is a grill set up to
serve the same foods.
Another part of a food area can be set up with picnic foods arranged
in wicker baskets. Sandwiches, fried chicken, chowder with oyster
crackers, and shrimp cocktail are a few choices of food that will
bring the allure of the beach to a wedding. Serve the food with a
fake lobster tail nestled in between the platters of food. The
platters could be trays decorated with beach scenes.
The drinks are also a part of the beach theme wedding decor. Instead
of carbonated beverages, serve lemonade and ice tea. Chill the
drinks in a child size pool filled with ice and use sand pails as
wine coolers. Feature alcoholic drinks like Tahitian breeze, sex on
the beach, a sea breeze, and mai tai. All this could be served on
surf boards with stands on each side holding them up.
There is nothing that screams the beach like the sand. Build a
sandbox on the dance floor that can be cleaned out and removed at
the end of the night. You can buy prepackaged, bagged sand called
play sand in bulks and fill the sandbox dance floor with it. Ask the
guests to bring their favorite flip flops, or step into the sand
barefoot so they can dance the night away on the beach. The rest of
the place should be decorated with sea shells and colored sand.
The music should also have a beach theme. The Beach Boys are always
a good place to start with songs like Surfin’ USA, I Get Around, and
Kokomo. If you want to be playful, you can play Under the Sea from
the Little Mermaid.
A must have for a beach themed wedding is to
play a mood tape of ocean sounds to always have the feeling of
standing under the wide open sky, with the waves crashing behind
you.
To ensure your guests will have fond memories of your wedding, send
them home with beach theme wedding favors in the form of a plastic
shovel that has the date and the names of the happy couple written
on the handle.
