A lot of women have dream about being married in a beach setting. Nothing feels more romantic and relaxing than to wear beach wedding dresses, feeling the sand on your feet and savoring the beauty of the sunset with the people you love. Below are some great beach wedding ideas for decorations and accents you might want to try.
1. Set the mood with creative beach wedding invitations
The secret to a great beach wedding invitation is to set the relaxed mood that you’re aiming for your wedding. Include swathes of blue or a star fish as a seal. Make sure that it is executed well.
2. Old surfboard as a ceremony sign
What better represents the waves of the sea than a surfboard? This will symbolize how much you love riding the waves together. Unfortunately, surfboards are quite expensive. You can just get an old piece and restore it a bit so that it will look good in pictures.
3. Get lanterns to improve lighting
If you wish to have a sense of warmth and amber glow during reception, purchase lanterns that you can place around the area. The effect is stunning, especially if the sun has already set. If you’re not a fan of lanterns, you can also utilize string lights to achieve the same effect.
4. Candles wrapped in rope
Candles have always been a part of weddings. They only differ on how you use them on your venue and chosen theme. These items will work well in a beach setting by using ropes as candle holder. This may be part of your reception table or given as beach wedding favors.
5. Shell-covered accents
Using big letters to spell out “LOVE” or the initials of the couple is very commonly used in beach wedding themes nowadays. You can still improve its plain design by filling it with seashells. You can place this at the cake table or in the bar.
6. Flowy fabric as backdrop
The wind that you feel in the area isn’t just there to keep you and your guests cool. You can use it to your advantage by using flowy fabric as backdrop instead of wooden pieces. Choose a design that elevates the mood like sunny fabric.
7. Hydrangea and driftwood for a wedding arch
Take advantage of the beautiful sunshine and waterfront setting. You can line the aisle with seashells or flowers to create a whimsical vibe. Elevate the look of a beachy driftwood structure by adorning it with textured greenery and fluffy hydrangeas.
8. Wooden walkway
Are you not keen on walking on the sand? You can choose to get a wooden walkway with your initials printed on it. The effect will be stunning when paired with the driftwood wedding arch mentioned above.
9. Dual-purpose fans
The temperature of the venue can get quite hot depending on your chosen time. Providing fans is always a must to help the guests remain comfortable. Tie a colored ribbon at the handle to add some color. Hang them at the chairs so that they can also serve as decorations.
