How To Decorate For A Beach Wedding To Remember

Beach wedding themes are a popular trend with brides and grooms, even for the stars. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegran had their wedding on a beach in Barbados. Mariska Harigitay and Peter Herman had a Californian moonlit beach reception for their wedding.

Your beach wedding theme can be just as unique and personal as the stars with some extra attention given to your wedding decorations. For some inspiration, consider the following beach theme wedding variations.

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.


California Beach Wedding Theme


Turn up the Beach Boys, toss in a volleyball, and you can have a California beach wedding anywhere. You may not be able to exchange vows in California, but you certainly can bring a free-loving spirit and casual atmosphere to your wedding ceremony and reception.

California beach wedding colors are bright and bold, using cobalt blue, cherry red, sunny yellow, or fresh green. Your wedding ceremony can have a strong or subtle influence of the beach theme. By including casual bouquets made of sea grasses, palm fronds, and wildflowers with casual wedding party attire, you will have a memorable wedding ceremony.

For a more subtle beach influence, simply use your color choices with more traditional bouquets and dresses. Receptions are a chance to be creative with your decorations and food.

For your table centerpieces, try a casual approach with a pile of sand, small surfboards, starfish, or beach balls surrounded by votive candles. Your food can be simple as well. Small sandwiches, cut-fruit, vegetable trays, and chips would all be appropriate for this reception. And don’t forget the music. If the Beach Boys are too much, consider some background music of rolling waves.



Hawaiian Beach Wedding Theme


You may not have the fortunes of Bill Gates, but you can have his Hawaiian-like wedding. A Hawaiian beach wedding theme is for the romantics who also like a casual atmosphere.

Flowers are key to this look, as well as, tropical colors. Pick colors such as magenta, sea blue, aquamarine, or a soft yellow. In your floral arrangements, include palm fronds and exotic flowers like orchids. You may decide to have leis for your wedding party instead of bouquets and boutonnieres.

You can also have fun with reception decor. You can choose to be romantic with fresh flowers floating in a plate of water with candles. Or you could create a luau setting with Tiki torches, grass skirts around the tables, and centerpieces made of pineapples, coconuts, mangos, and papayas.


New England Beach Wedding Theme


If you prefer a sophisticated, yet still casual wedding, a New England beach theme is for you. For this wedding theme, stick with traditional colors such as navy blue, patriotic red, Kelly green, or nautical yellow.

You should also pick traditional decorations for your ceremony and reception with a few touches of the beach theme. For your bouquets and centerpieces, consider mixing a few wired seashells with your flowers.

Your reception can have a casual feel by including old-fashioned lanterns and life-preservers. Choose New England favorites for your buffet, like clam chowder, steamed muscles, and fish.


Regardless of the beach wedding theme you choose, your attention to decoration details will make it special and unique.
