Sweet Serenity: Ocean Theme Weddings
The natural beauty of the ocean is one that is extremely
difficult to imitate. An ocean theme wedding is one of the most
magical imitations however. Ocean theme weddings bring out the best
qualities of the ocean and use them to create a serene wedding
event. Using inspiration from the ocean’s natural beauty and scenery
you can create a successful ocean theme wedding.

An ocean theme wedding should be centered on the colors of the
ocean. Colors in shades of blue, gray, brown, or green are very
appropriate. Making guests feel like they are relaxing oceanside is
a great plan to have when designing an ocean theme wedding. In
accordance with that plan, it is most appropriate to hold an ocean
theme wedding by the water, however it is not necessary. You can
create an ocean vibe in any location using the right accessories.
Rocks are very common of many beaches and can be used to create an
ocean scene. Large rocks can be set around to help set the ocean
scenery. If you choose to use rocks for decorative scenery then it
is a great idea to set a large rock to the side for the unity candle
ceremony.
For an ocean theme wedding, brides may want to use unity sand
instead of unity candles. The concept of the unity sand is the same
as with the unity candles, however it adds an ocean twist.
To set up the unity sand, you fill two containers with different
colored sand and set an empty container in the middle of the two.
The bride and groom each take one of the full containers and pour
them simultaneously into the empty container creating a combination.
This is a fun way to incorporate the theme into decor.
Ocean sounds are a great addition to an ocean theme wedding. It is
great to have roaring wave sounds playing as the guests are entering
the location. Guests will feel relaxed and pick up immediately on
the theme. Light string sounds are good for the additional musical
needs of the ceremony.
Flowers such as calla lilies or tropical flower varieties are best
for a wedding of this theme. Roses are too formal for a wedding of
this style and should be avoided at all costs. Bouquets should be
simple, maybe consisting of one to three flowers.
The reception of an ocean theme wedding should follow the same
relaxed style. A tiki style bar is a great way to turn an ocean
reception into an exciting event. Hiring a steel drum band is a fun
way to allow guests to soak up the ocean style.
A great idea for ocean theme wedding favors is the surprise pearl
necklace. These necklace kits come with an oyster shell each guests
cracks themselves. Each shell contains a different colored pearl.
The kit also comes with a silver chain and pearl holding locket
charm to place the pearl in after cracking the shell.Ocean theme
weddings are perfect for the nature loving couple that enjoys
sitting back and taking in what the world has to offer. This calming
theme will allow both the wedding couple and their guests to truly
have a tranquil wedding experience.
