Beach Wedding Accessories -Must Haves for Your Beach Wedding

What could be more romantic than a beach wedding? Just the thought of white sands, warm breezes, and the brilliant blue ocean as your backdrop is enough to make any prospective bride swoon. If this type of ceremony is in your plans, there are several things you’ll need to make your theme as memorable as possible.

Destination weddings have always been popular but even if your desired location is a local beach, there are many beach wedding accessories to choose from that will help in setting up your theme. Start with the wedding invitations. They are a first look at the tone and theme of the wedding for your guests. Invitations can be decorated or embossed with ocean themes of sea creatures or seashells. White or cream colored invitations can include small shells or pearls, or illustrations of sea turtles or sea gulls. Wedding favors can include white or ocean-colored boxes decorated with starfish, shells, small seed pearls, or small vials of colored sand. If your wedding isn’t very formal, colorful beach umbrellas, bright flowers, and straw hats can serve as your décor.

A sandy beach is no place for designer shoes! You can purchase flip flops for the event, black or white for him depending on the style and color of his outfit, and flip flops or low sandals encrusted with seed pearls or crystals for her. If the sand isn’t too hot, the bride can even go barefoot, wearing a pearl or shell anklet and pretty polished toes. Wide-brimmed straw hats can be bought and decorated with shells or charms that have a beachy theme, providing not only fashion flair but protection from the sun as well.

For the reception, beautiful wedding centerpieces can be created using white candles under clear glass surrounded by tropical flowers, either real or silk, and placed in small sandboxes. Wine spritzers or light cocktails can be garnished with flowers or paper umbrellas. A talented baker can make the wedding cake look like a sand castle using tinted sugar and decorations that match your theme.

The beach wedding theme can work whether your wedding is formal or casual by just choosing the right wedding bridal accessories. A casual wedding can include splashes of bright color and kitschy wedding favors while a more formal setting can be more spare and simpler using upscale items. Browse several online wedding sites and wedding shops before making a final selection. Choose a simple hairstyle, a dress that sways with the ocean breeze, check the weather forecast, and don’t forget the sunscreen! With careful planning and the right wedding accessories, your beach wedding can be beautiful, memorable, and totally unique.
