The question has been popped, so now the next big decision is the date. But right now you are deciding what theme to go for to make your big day the most memorable. If you are like most people, you are looking for something unique. Something that will bring fun and spice to the memories that will be with you for the rest of your life. Beach wedding decorations can come in many types and it is best to think out of the box.
But say you are a big fan of doing the whole thing outdoors. That’s not a big problem. Imagine if you will this set up. Soft hanging lanterns draped towards the huge Tiki gods set out in front of the half moon rows of seats. Sea shells line the path for the bride while ferns line the chairs that are resting on brown fabric crumbled and glitter to make it look like soft golden sand.
An electric volcano is seen in the corner by the tables. And when the couple kisses the volcano erupts with lights and rumbling that will certainly catch anyone’s attention of the announcement to the matrimony. The tables for the reception are lined with various tribal patterns while the tealight lanterns in the center are lit around ferns and rocks or seashells.
The sand is the tricky part. If there is a place to buy sand boxes for children you can get enough to do such a setting for about $50-100. The flowers, all can be found at any local flower shop if the bride wishes for fresh real flowers. Or you can find them online at Wal-mart in their crafts department.
A note on weddings held on the beach: Although it can be very romantic, a wedding on the beach causes more outside people to attend. Meaning more party crashers. Don’t do the wedding in the middle of the day. The sun can have some serious effects on the gathering.
The ti leaves can easily be replaced by any kind of fern. This set up will run the bridal party (depending on how many people are attending) $200-$500. It may be simple and easy but that is the purpose of such beach themed weddings.
Although the beach is a beautiful there are some guidelines for keeping it fun and safe for everyone. A note on weddings in doors: Common sense tells us not to light fires indoors. If you are looking to use tiki torches for lighting there are some that are available as plug ins.
You want to saturate it in liquid smoke and rock salt. Wrap it up in foil and cook it for about 4-5 hours depending on how many pounds you are cooking. Another local favorite is of course sashimi. Which is raw fish. But I would suggest not going raw since the wedding ceremony can last for a while. I would however make sure there is plenty of rice, salad, and exotic fruits like dragon fruit or papayas.
