Beach Wedding Decorations For a Romantic Wedding

A beach wedding may be the most romantic and unique style of celebrating and personalizing your wedding, which will be remembered throughout your life time. A beach wedding can simply be a traditional affair with a completely a nautical theme. Some of the planning for a beach wedding may be a little complicated than a traditional ceremony but worth doing it.

A beach wedding decoration cannot use natural materials that are used in a normal wedding. For a beach wedding decoration, materials would be already present in the beach. Seashells, sea glass, and corals are some of them for implementing creative colors to the materials.

Sea shells, by far represent the most versatile decorating option, particularly for the design of the reception table's center pieces, linens, table top accents as well as other components that make a well decorated reception not only memorable but also visually appeal able and complimentary. Also, work with the florist to capture the look and feel of the theme. Large seashells may be suitable idea not only to decorate the tables, but also to serve the wonderful purpose of candy containers. Exotic pieces of seashell decoration serve dual purposes are both equally attractive and cost-effective.

Twig votives and starfish paper confetti also can be used to dress up the reception table. Wedding arches can be made in a very special way using palm trees. A Polynesian style of genuine bamboo, tiki wedding hut can also be arranged. Colored sand can also be utilized for decoration or making theme drawings, which symbolizes the blending of lives and heart.

Tropical flowers like hibiscus, anthuriums, or plumerias are also used as decorations. Large glass bowls can be filled with colored sand and assorted seashells can be placed on the top to support the theme. Tint water blue and pour over pebbles or small rocks in a small bowl and fish shaped floating candles can be used to make the place a real hit.

Even the theme can be made more colorful and creative by arranging everything in the shape of the things which are found in the beach for example boat shaped wedding cake, light house shaped candle holders fish shaped candles and so on. Fabric used for the backdrop of your decorations may be used blue through out to match the color of the sea.

Placing a variety of shells in a transparent glass vase makes an easy reception table decorative piece. With a little bit of creative ideas, the beach side atmosphere can be carried on to maintain the theme, throughout the area.

For classic weddings, try traditional candle centerpieces, such as ornate crystal candelabras. These are a wonderful addition to a ballroom wedding, and have a great feeling of timeless elegance, much like a set of pearl earrings. To make it even more opulent, try draping some strands of crystals around the candelabra. Bring in some color with scattered rose petals around the base of the candelabra, or even with individual flowers in tiny vases in front of each place setting (it makes a great favor!).

Candles are not only for ballroom receptions. If your wedding will be outdoors, a tall chunky candle in a hurricane lantern is ideal. It can be decorated according to the theme or location of your wedding. Having a beach wedding? Lay out striped blue and white tablecloths with a crisp nautical feeling. Sprinkle a pile of sand in the center and nestle the hurricane into it. Then finish it off with an assortment of shells, sand dollars, starfish and coral arranged around the base of the lantern. For a garden wedding, you could take the same starting point with the hurricane candle centerpiece, and instead of the nautical artifacts, surround it with a beautiful floral wreath. Or arrange a bed of greens and red berries around the hurricane lantern for a Christmas wedding. It is an amazingly versatile type of centerpiece.

Candles also make fantastic centerpieces for rustic weddings. Seek out unusual candelabras, such as distressed wrought iron stands with multiple levels. You can use candles that match or wedding colors or motif. Simple ivory candles would be pretty for a Tex-Mex reception over colorful linens. Or use candles in a deep yellow color for a Tuscan mood, especially when used in a room decorated in rich shades of red, brown, and yellow. Red candles on a rustic candelabra would feel just right in a barn wedding.

Some venues do not permit open flames without water (mine did not), which brings us to floating candles. They are both beautiful and safe to use. A simple but elegant centerpiece would combine floating candles with gardenias in a large porcelain bowl. Or select floating candles for your centerpieces that are created in a special shape. Flower shaped candles are especially romantic, and look feminine and pretty when the bride is wearing a romantic gown with delicate pearl earrings. Fruits and cute bugs like dragonflies are also great options for candle shapes.

There is a candle centerpiece to suit any style of receptions, from traditional to whimsical to modern. Candles will always add romance and beautiful light to your reception, which makes them a natural for weddings. Have fun designing the candle centerpieces that are perfect for your special day.
