Planning A Beach Theme Wedding With Ocean Decor
Themes are very big with wedding ceremonies now and whether you are at an actual
beach or in a church, ocean decor is something easy to incorporate and personalize. With this theme you have the romance and the simplicity of nature to use as you decorate and create the perfect setting for your
tropical wedding. It is easy to integrate the beach theme in every step of the ceremony right into the reception.
The stage for the ceremony itself is very important and where the real romance takes place. Think about using a
beach wedding canopy to take your vows under. The simplicity of this kind of canopy provides a very romantic setting. All you need are four pieces of bamboo and a material that is gauzy, like tulle. You could have this material in white or an ocean turquoise blue.
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 seaside 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.
Other simple touches can add big results to the day. For example, instead of using a ring pillow, use clam shells for the rings. The head table is the center focus during the reception so allow that to stand out with turquoise blue tulle that drapes in swags. To decorate the walls, if inside, hang some fishing nets here and there and then decorate them with some simple beach stuff like shells, starfish, and other nautical items.
