Sea Shell Theme Weddings
Soft Sea Shell Theme Weddings
There are fewer places more romantic than the beach. Sitting
barefoot on the sand and watching the waves roll quietly into shore
is a wonderful experience. If you want to transfer the peaceful mood
of the ocean into a wedding theme, try having a seashell theme
wedding. A seashell theme wedding is a relaxed event that focuses on
the beauty of one of the ocean's most precious gifts, the seashell.
A seashell wedding would be most appropriately held outdoors by
water, however you can have a seashell wedding in any location.
Seashell weddings should be decorated with natural items from the
sea. Seashells should be used in abundance to set the theme.
Brides who are planning an indoor wedding might consider seashell
ceiling hangings. These handcrafted hangings can be bought and hung
from the ceilings to set the mood. They come in blanket type shapes
or in single strands of shells, depending on the look you are going
for. Simply attach the hangings from the ceiling and let them hang
down. This creates an interesting decorative accent.
Conk shells are wonderful accessories. They can be set along the
aisle sides. They can also be placed on the guests' seats as
pre-wedding favors. No one can resist putting a conk to his or her
ear to "hear" the ocean. If you are expecting children at your
wedding, this is also a great way to keep them occupied during the
ceremony.
Another idea is to present each guest with a seashell necklace upon
their arrival. This is a great way to clue the guest in on the theme
and allow them a keepsake to take home. They will automatically be
dressed for a seashell wedding.
Decorations should come in shell colors, such as beige, ivory, and
gray. Wedding attire should be in these colors as well. Pastel
colors work wonderfully for bridesmaids' dresses. The bride's dress
should be lightweight and contain sheer material accents. Men should
be fitted for beige casual suits. Ivory tuxedos can be used for a
more formal affair.
A calypso band is a great addition to a seashell wedding. The
oceanic sounds will really make a seashell theme wedding pop. Guests
will love relaxing before the ceremony to the soothing sounds of
bongo and steel drums.
For reception centerpieces, consider using seashell displays. One
way to display shells is to use clear vases and fill them completely
with different types of seashells. This is an easy and low-cost way
to create gorgeous centerpieces for this theme. Another centerpiece
idea is to use bowls full of sand. By placing seashell shaped
candles on top of the sand, you can easily make a theme appropriate
centerpiece.
Seashell theme weddings are beautiful and laid back. Guests will
enjoy being able to relax and the calm mood will allow the wedding
couple to truly enjoy their wedding day. Using decoration ideas
inspired by nature and the ocean, brides will be able to
successfully decorate for a beautiful celebration.
