New England Beach Wedding Theme
Decoration Tips For A New England Beach Wedding Theme
You may not be having your wedding in front of a beach cottage
at Martha’s Vineyard, but you can still have that sophisticated, yet
casual wedding feel by adding some New England nautical touches to
your traditional wedding decorations.
At a New England wedding, you can find roses, candles, and tulle,
as well as, seashells and lighthouses. The key to New England
wedding decor is to keep the beach motifs simple and understated.
The following ideas will help you get started.
Nautical Colors
The nautical flags of sailing ships inspire New England wedding
colors. For your decorations, pick colors like navy blue, patriotic
red, crisp white, Kelly green, or nautical yellow.
Repeat your color scheme throughout your wedding decor from
bridesmaids’ dresses to tablecloths for the greatest impact. Avoid
fabrics or ribbons that use bold prints or combine contrasting
colors, as it will look out of place for this type of wedding theme.
Wedding Invitations
Wedding invitations for a New England themed wedding can be anything
from elegant scrollwork to a simple seashell or lighthouse motif. If
you do decide to use seashells or lighthouse, keep the invitation
sophisticated by using a white on white design so your design is not
too pronounced.
For invitations created with stamps or computer publishing
software, use the highest quality of papers you can afford. The
weight and feel of fine papers will give your wedding invitations
that sophisticated New England look.
New England Wedding Ceremony Decor
A New England wedding ceremony is traditionally held in a church or
clubhouse. Work with the architecture of the room as part of your
wedding decor by using a few well-placed floral arrangements as
accent. Use candelabras decorated with traditional floral
arrangements of roses, lilies, and greenery as focal points to the
front of the room.
Create unity in your decor my using your brighter wedding colors
as small accents, like in your choice of ribbon color. You can also
add a touch of the beach by inserting wired seashells into your
arrangements and bouquets.
Reception Decoration Ideas
For a sophisticated New England wedding reception, use traditional
floral arrangements as your table centerpieces. White roses and
lilies placed on a navy blue tablecloth would be striking.
For a little more casual feel, fill clear vases with sand and
seashells. Add some small votive candles, and you will have an
elegant table setting. Your party favors can also add to your table
decorations. Lighthouse or seashell picture frames can double as
place settings.
Your choice of food will also add to the mood of your reception.
Consider choices like clam chowder, baked fish, or roasted corn. Use
cloth tablecloths with candles to decorate your buffet tables.
When choosing your New England wedding decorations, remember less is
more. By choosing to buy a few quality pieces, you will achieve the
look of elegant New England wedding decor.
