Beach Weddings - Say "I Do" Amidst Sun, Sand And Surf

Beach weddings are the current rage among couples, choosing to exchange their nuptial vows in the picturesque location of a beach. The dreamy set up of the sea side backdrop lends immense serenity to the occasion. With the sand in your feet and the sound of the waves in the background, romance fills the air. The orange glow of the sun, the frivolity of water and the company of friends and family makes the special moment, all the more cherished.

Ideas For Centerpieces In Beach Weddings

Beach weddings, a hot favorite among many wedding themes, offer a lot of variety in planning the decorations and centerpieces. You can be very creative while planning the overall theme of the décor, but ensure that the centerpieces match with the theme and the color scheme. Some of the suggestions for centerpieces are:

Flowers: Flowers are an all-time preference for the summer wedding themes, like beach weddings. You can incorporate various tropical flowers into your centerpieces to make them look even more attractive. Flowers like orchids, birds of paradise, and hibiscus, are a few which can be used for a beach party.

Candles: Candles, with a nautical theme or ones shaped like seashells, starfish or bamboo may be used to complement the theme of beach weddings. Candles shaped like corals also match the effect.

Fruits: Fresh fruits as centerpieces are an excellent choice to accentuate the beach design of the wedding. Hurricane vases or other vases may be filled with tropical fruits like mangoes, limes or lemons, as part of your centerpiece.

Unique containers: Using exclusive containers like bamboo bowls or lanterns, rather than the usual vases, help in lending an exclusive touch to your centerpieces as well as the décor, on the whole.

Sand castles: Sand castles give a unique fairy tale dimension to the centerpiece on the table. Even the guests can enjoy building one of these during the celebration.

Nautical items: Placing nautical items like a ship's bell, sail boats, lighthouses or anchors as centerpieces for each table, will enhance the beauty of outdoor gathering on the beach.

The centerpieces are the most eye catching impressions of the entire decoration. They should blend with the atmosphere and the premise. A well coordinated and thematically balanced centerpiece will supplement as well as compliment your beach wedding.
