Beach Theme Wedding
Life’s A Beach, Why not your Wedding too?
Perhaps you are planning a destination wedding in Saint Croix,
or maybe you have a more modest budget and just love the islands.
Either way, beach wedding decorations can liven up a traditional
event and make your nuptials truly memorable.
Beach wedding decorations give the married couple a chance to show
their creativity and fun-loving personalities. Announce your beach
theme wedding with your invitation and keep the theme consistent
with beach wedding decorations at the event.
| For beach theme decorations, we recommend
Pinatas.com for large selection and low prices. Click on 'Theme
Party Supply', then click 'Other Popular Party Themes', and
finally click 'Beach party supplies'.. For more online merchants, please visit our
buyers guide. |
The Invitation
Make sure to integrate the beach theme wedding decorations in
your invitation. Consider sending your invite attached to a small
seashell wind chime. Small chimes can be purchased at resort
souvenir shops (or the Internet).
Use colorful ribbon to attach the
printed details of your big event. Guests can hang the invitation in
their home. Each time a breeze rolls through, your guests will be
reminded of your upcoming wedding.
Inexpensive sunglasses from the local discount store can also be
used for a non-traditional invite. Look for large plastic frames in
bright colors to grab the attention of your guests. Print the
details of the wedding and attach them to a hanging tag on the
glasses.
The Setting
If you are holding your wedding at a beach, make sure to provide
some shady areas for your guests and consider renting tents in the
event of inclimate weather.
As your guests enter the reception, have them greeted with a lei.
Have servers ready with fruity tropical drinks adorned with fruit
and paper umbrellas.
Beach theme wedding decorations should be placed throughout the
venue. Scatter sand and seashells with votive candles on cocktail
tables. Tropical fruit or glass bowls containing tropical fish can
be used as centerpieces for the dining tables. The corners of the
dance floor can be decorated with inflated beach balls.
For larger budgets, beach wedding decorations, such as palm trees,
sun umbrellas and surfboards, can be rented for the occasion.
EntertainmentConsider hiring a steel-drum band or have
your DJ select beach-appropriate tunes (think Beach Boys, Jimmy
Buffet, Reggae and Calypso). Servers and staff should be attired in
Hawaiian shirts. Hiring hula dancers would be a terrific splurge and
a great way to get mixed generations on the dance floor.
Food
For the ultimate beach theme wedding a Luau-style menu is best.
Start off with Pupu platters-- the perfect appetizer for a beach
themed wedding. These platters can contain anything from sushi to
pineapple. Pupu platters give you creative license to sample many
things on the catering menu, like conch fritters!
Roast suckling “Kalua Pig” with pineapple is the perfect main dish.
The slow cooked pork is savory and can serve large groups. Other
traditional Hawaiian dishes include: Chicken Luau, poi, poke, fried
rice and plenty of fresh fruit.
Don’t forget to add beach theme wedding decorations to the serving
trays. Tropical flowers should adorn all passed dishes. Hibiscus and
orchids are colorful choices. Preferably you’ll opt for fresh
flowers, but great silk imitations are also available.
Make sure your wedding cake designer is up to speed on the theme.
Convince your baker to use banana or coconut in the recipe to
compliment the luau menu.
Now that you’ve incorporated these wonderful beach theme wedding
decorations into your event, relax; grab a pina colada and limbo the
night away.
