Endless Beach Wedding Themes
If you are considering a beach wedding, the ideas are as endless
as your imagination!
One thing about choosing a beach wedding theme is that it allows
you total creative freedom. Depending on the time of day, the
beach can set the mood. At sunrise or sunset, it is a place of
serenity, beauty and romance. Mid-day, it is the hub of
excitement, activity, and fun. By nature, a beautiful scene has
already been set for you. There is no need for many decorations!
Are you planning an intimate wedding with just a few guests? Let
the beach help you set the stage for your romantic wedding ideas
with a dawn or dusk seaside ceremony. The sunrise or sunset will
provide a spectacular background for your wedding photos.
On the other hand, if you want to "tell the world" and have a
large gathering of people, consider a mid-summer day "beach-side
bash" or fantasy beach wedding that includes your guests. That's
the fun part of a beach wedding - your guests can participate.
Everyone has fun!
Here are a few ideas to get you started...
* Be Cinderella with your Prince Charming. Have him place the
"glass slipper" that fits on your foot as a symbol of your
perfect union. You could hire a professional sand sculptor to
build a beautiful sand castle as a background for your fairytale
theme. Leave in a horse drawn carriage.
* Have a Pirate Wedding. Rent costumes and decorate with
treasure chests fake gold coins and jewelry. Have a real
treasure hunt. When you leave, sail off into the sunset.
* How about an "I Dream of Jeannie" beach wedding theme?
Decorate with pretty, colorful bottles in the sand like the one
she was found in. At the end of the day, disappear in a cloud of
smoke!
* A Western beach wedding theme would be fun! Many beaches allow
horseback riding. The reception could be a good old fashioned
fireside "camp out" under the stars. Leave on horseback.
* Have a Rainbow Wedding. Create a rainbow to wed under out of
brightly colored helium filled balloons tied together. Hold them
down with the "pots of gold" at each end. Have everyone bring a
colored umbrella to decorate the aisle with. Great back plan up
in case it rains!
* Butterfly weddings are popular. Shades of yellow and orange
with butterflies woven amongst the flowers in your tiara and
bouquet would be beautiful. Use butterflies as boutonnieres for
the guys.
* A Surfing theme would be neat. Of course surf boards and "The
Beach Boys" come to mind here!
By the way...
Don't rule out you beach wedding ideas because you don't live
near an ocean. The definition of a "beach" is - "the shore of a
body of water, especially if sandy or pebbly". That includes
lakes and rivers. For that matter, you may have a "beach" right
by your swimming pool. There are no rules. Be creative!
It is your beach wedding...it can be anything you want it to be
- wherever you want it to be! Most of all...have fun!
