Weddings are supposed to be romantic and there is no better setting for romance than a beach. Choosing beach decor for your wedding theme is something that can easily be incorporated with the colors you choose and even with the location. Even if you can't have an actual beach for the ceremony, any venue can be turned into a tropical paradise easily.
Where the vows take place is an important part of the ceremony. Some couples choose to stand under an arch, others in front of an altar, and for a beach theme a canopy is the right touch. A simple canopy created from four bamboo sticks and a gauzy material like tulle is simplistic but romantic. The tulle could be any color to match the wedding party or white to match the brides dress.
Walking down the aisle is where the magic begins and this needs to be part of the theme. Having a wedding on the beach requires just creating an aisle by lining the space with conch shells and starfish. If the wedding is elsewhere, simply lay down a strip of plastic or tarp and cover it with sand. Then you can do the same by lining it with shells to give off the beach feel.
Seating is important, especially for a large wedding. Usually pews are the choice and these can be decorated easily with a simple yet trendy decoration. Taking a large tassel in either colors of the wedding or neutral colors, decorate the tassel with shells or a starfish. Then it can simple be hung at the end of the pew.
Decorating for the reception can be fun with all the different beach decorations out there. You can place large beautiful sea shells on the tables and then adorn them with strings of pearls. There can even be a mix and match with glass bowls of sand inside of them. You can either do natural sand or colored sand to match your wedding scheme. Adding some pearls and small shells into the sand will give it a classic elegant look.
The little touches can go a long way with this theme. Use clam shells instead of a ring pillow for the ring exchange. Drape the head table with a bit of ocean blue tulle or other light material to draw the attention to the wedding couple. Hanging fish netting on the walls in a few places and decorating with starfish, shells, and other beach items will add to the beachy atmosphere.
Deciding on whether your wedding will have a theme or not is an important decision to make, and when you choose your theme you want it to be perfect. Using beach decor in your theme is something that can easily be done and the simplicity of nature will make it even more romantic. The best part is that you don't need a real beach for the setting, you can create your own easily and just how you want it.
