Beach Favors

If you are trying to figure out a theme for your wedding, one of the most romantic and beautiful themes to consider is a beach theme. Just think of getting married on the beach, with the wide expanse of blue in the background, the sound of waves, and all your loved ones gathered round. Then you can easily have your reception on the beach as well. Going for a beach theme wedding is definitely a wonderful idea, and believe it or not, you can actually save some money with this wedding theme.

Keep it Simple
When you are having a beach theme wedding, you’ll want to keep it tall simple. There’s no need to get overly fancy, especially if you are on a budget. After all, you have nature to take care of everything for you. You won’t need to try to make everything fancy and you won’t need to spend a lot of money. Just being on the beach and going with that theme will make everything look perfect.

Only Book One Area
You’ll only have to book one area when you decide to go with a beach theme wedding. You can book the same area for the ceremony as for the reception. If you want to be married on the beach, you can set up the reception in the very same area. Sometimes you can get a local beach park to rent you space where you can have your reception, and then you merely have to walk out near the waves for the ceremony. If you decide to use a resort or hotel for the wedding, you’ll still be able to do everything in once place, saving some money.

The Clothing is Simple
The clothing for a beach theme wedding can be simple - another way to save money. After all, since you’ll be in the sand, you won’t want to go crazy with elegant clothing. You can choose a simple wedding dress, and instead of the men wearing tuxes, they can wear Hawaii themed clothing or other beach wear that isn’t expensive. This is one more way you can really save money and have the wedding of your dreams out there on the beach.

You’ll Save on Decorating
Last of all, when you are on a budget, a beach theme wedding is a great idea because you’ll save on decorating. You won’t have to decorate a reception site or a ceremony site. While you may go with a few decorations, nature has already done the best decorating for you. With the sandy beach, sparkling waves, and beautiful sky, you won’t have much to do to make it all look beautiful for your wedding day.

Whether the bride is planning a beach wedding or just wishes she were, you may find that having a beach-themed wedding shower is a great way to have some fun!

A wedding shower is a one of the great opportunities that the bridesmaids have to show the bride how happy they are for her and how much they want her big day to be great. If you are planning a beach wedding shower, there are lots of ways to decorate for this theme and to wow everyone who attends.

Setting the stage is important. No matter how cold it is where you are, you can still find a location that has lots of lovely natural light. For instance, you might find that someone in the wedding party has an arbor or a sunroom. Choose to have the beach wedding shower during the day, and ideally, you should pick a day that you know will be quite sunny (check your weather channel and your online weather updates). If no one has a room like this, consider renting a wonderfully sun-warmed arbor in a hotel or a restaurant.

In terms of refreshment, consider fresh and sweet things, like coconut and guava juice. Leave the cheese platters for more staid parties; look into fruit plates full of pineapple and melon. If your bride is heading for a distant shore for her wedding, consider what kind of food they serve there. If she is getting married in the Caribbean, for example, look up a great jerk chicken recipe.

Get started with the invitations. There are lots of great beach themed invitations out there, and if you are feeling creative, you can even head to the craft store and make them yourself. Invitations in the shape of beach balls, sandcastles and palm trees are a great way to let everyone know what the theme is. Another great way to really get everyone into the seaside spirit is to have a costume party. Encourage everyone to wear Hawaiian shirts, or even grass skirts! Costumes are a great way to get into the spirit and handing out leis at the door is another thing that you can do.

When you want to decorate your beach wedding shower, it’s pretty easy. Head to the craft store and look for bags of seashells. These can be strewn around the plates and on the tables. Another great way to get some color into the room is to put out bowls filled with water and to float candles or flowers in them. This can give you color and if the flowers are real, fragrance as well! Balloons are practically traditional for bridal wedding showers so consider balloons in bright and vibrant colors, anything that makes you think about the seashore. Blue and white are popular, as are all shades of teal or blue green.

If you are planning a beach wedding shower, there are plenty of great ways to decorate. Figure out how you can get everyone into the holiday spirit and remember that this is a great time to cut loose and have some fun!
