Ideas for a Dreamy Beach Wedding


More and more couples are planning their wedding day at the beach. Fortunately for you there are many beautiful and unique decorations for you to choose from when a beach wedding is your theme.

Your beach wedding will be less stressful and a lot of fun with these helpful beach wedding decoration ideas.

So let's begin to plan.

Beach Wedding Aisle Runner:

The internet offers a number of choices for beach wedding aisle runners that can be personalized just for you. Scatter real or silk petals down the sides of the runner or if your are having a flower girl she will do the job for you.

Ceremony and Reception Guest Chairs:

Here are a couple of ideas to dress up your guest chairs. Tie a length of theme colored tulle around the chair and tie a huge bow in the back. Add a lovely flower and a six to eight inch palm leaf to the center of the bow. You may tie a ribbon around the back of the chair and rather than a bow tie a cluster of seashells to the middle of the ribbon

Ceremony Arch or Canopy:

Cover the arch with tulle in your theme colors and decorate with small seashell and starfish for a magical look. If you are having a canopy, drape strings of simulated pearls along with small tropical flowers to make a perfectly dreamy place to exchange your vows.

Beach Wedding Photo Backdrop:

Also, to be found on the internet are really nice backdrops for beach weddings that you can set up and have a beach pail of disposible cameras where guests can take one, take a picture and it makes a really fun wedding favor.

Reception Area Decorations:

If it is fire safe, put flaming tiki torches around the perimeter of the reception area and what is more beach and romance than the glow of tiki torches. Drape nets from the walls or ceiling and hang tropical flowers or seashells and starfish from the netting.

Wedding Table Centerpieces:

In keeping with your dreamy beach theme how about filling a clear glass bowl with sand and add small sea shells, glass marbles, faux pearls and small star fish. Place a glass votive in the center and see how the light from the candle reflects beautifully off the shells, marbles and whatever else you have put in the sand.

Miniature lanterns are available in black or white and arrange in the middle of your tables with either a candle or seashells, starfish and other beach items. Use a reflective mirror or sand under the lanterns for a finished look.

Beach Wedding Cakes:

A beach themed wedding cake is a way you can use your personality and creativity in a tasty way. Look through the internet sites and books for ideas and then you need to find a baker that will turn your wedding dream cake into a cake to celebrate your day. It might take time but will really be worth it.

Beach Wedding Music:

As you plan your beach wedding music, the two of you should sit down and discuss the music you like and means the most to both of you. Your wedding is the perfect time to choose those songs you want for your beach theme and your wedding day. If you are using a DJ make sure he knows all your desires well before the day.

A gorgeous rendition for your first dance music is Sam Harris doing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Take a listen to it on YouTube. I bet it gives you goose bumps.

I truly hope these dreamy beach wedding ideas are helpful and perhaps starts your creative juices going and the two of you enjoy your day with family, friends, the sea and the soft warm sand.
