Beach Wedding Ideas

Need Beach Wedding Ideas? How about aCaribbean beach wedding, Hawaiian beach wedding, tropical beach wedding, beach party wedding or a fantasy beach wedding...

Beach wedding ideas are as endless as your imagination!

One thing about choosing a beach wedding theme is that it allows you total creative freedom. Depending on the time of day, the beach can set the mood. At sunrise or sunset, it is a place of serenity, beauty and romance. Mid-day, it is the hub of excitement, activity, and fun. By nature, a beautiful scene has already been set for you. There is no need for many decorations!

Are you planning an intimate wedding with just a few guests? Let the beach help you set the stage for your romantic wedding ideas with a dawn or dusk seaside ceremony. The sunrise or sunset will provide a spectacular background for your wedding photos.

On the other hand, if you want to "tell the world" and have a large gathering of people, consider mid-summer day beach party wedding ideas or fantasy beach wedding ideas that include your guests. That's the fun part of a beach wedding - you can involve your guests. Everyone has fun!

By the way...

Don't rule out your beach wedding ideas because you don't live near an ocean. The definition of a "beach" is - "the shore of a body of water, especially if sandy or pebbly". That includes lakes and rivers. For that matter, you may have a "beach" by your swimming pool. There are no rules. Be creative!

It is your beach wedding...it can be anything you want it to be - wherever you want it to be! Most of all...have fun!

Here are a few Beach Wedding Theme Ideas to get your creativity flowing...

Do you love dolphins, sea turtles, star fish or mermaids? All of the above? You can come up with some great beach wedding theme ideas based on the creatures of the sea.

Your wedding dress could be mermaid style, ever so pale sea green. Weave pearls throughout your tousled hair. Have your "King Neptune" wear a white rayon shirt with a Hawaiian style lei of ivy and green slacks. If he is really into helping you with your theme, you might persuade him to wear the gold crown! I wouldn't count on it though! Your wedding party could be dressed in dark emerald green mermaid gowns and of course the flower girl would be the "Little Mermaid"!

Your wedding cake would be beautiful with green ivy and sea shells and decorations, invitations and wedding favors would be a breeze. There are oodles of ideas and places that offer items to fit this beach wedding theme.

If you both enjoy boating, consider a nautical theme. A simple, sleek wedding gown for you and a dark navy slacks and a nautical style shirt for him. Make your exit memorable at the end of the day by sailing off into the sunset if you have a boat.

Decorate with netting, anchors and colored rope. Use the same motif on your wedding cake. A small sailboat or a lighthouse would be beautiful as the cake topper.

Make your own "message in a bottle" wedding favors. Place a little sand and your wedding thank you note inside, cork it and tie a small piece of colored rope on it.

Nothing could be more romantic than a Hawaiian beach wedding theme! Just the sound of Hawaiian guitars can whisk you off to the island without ever leaving your home!

There is a gorgeous simplicity to your Hawaiian style white gown called a 'holoku" and your guy is "to die for" in the traditional white "wedding shirt" and white shorts or slacks. Very informal but very beautiful!

The wedding party and guests add color to the occasion with multi colored Hawaiian style shirts and sun dresses. The brighter the colors - the better! If you really want to experience the Hawaiian theme, go all the way with the grass hula skirts! The traditional lei and haku (floral neck and head wreaths) add simplistic elegance and flip flops or bare feet are definitely the order of the day!

Of course your wedding would not be complete without Elvis Presley's version of the "Hawaiian Wedding Song"! If you are too young to remember the movie "BLue Hawaii"...rent it! The song is a Hawaiian wedding tradition and the movie will convince you that a Hawaiian beach wedding theme is for you!

Now here is a beach wedding theme you can really let loose with! Totally informal, cheap, and relatively stress free. A sundress for you, walking shorts and a pastel short sleeved shirt for him.

The reception could be as simple as colorful beach towels or blankets spread in the sand and decorated with sand pails and sand tools. These will be especially useful for occupying the kids later in the day! Ask your guests to dress for the beach and BYOB - (bring your own bathing suit) you thought I meant beer didn't you? Some will do that anyway, without being asked!

Have a beach barbeque. Instead of dancing, have a beach volleyball game or a sand sculpting contest. In short, just let everyone have fun! As the day winds down and the guests drift home, sit back in the sand and enjoy the sunset. It was a perfect, fun day!

How about the festive party atmosphere of a Caribbean style beach wedding theme? A Caribbean wedding is the most joyous occasion!

You will be beautiful in a traditional white rayon crepe wedding sarong and your "mon" will be oh so handsome in a similar white weddingshirt. The wedding party and guests brighten the shoreline dressed in vividly colored sarongs, wraps, shirts and shorts.Floral parasols add a nice touch. Shoes are not required!

A Caribbean reception can last well into the night, sipping rum punch anddancing to the sound of a steel drum band playing Calypso and Reggae music. How about a "limbo" contest or a conga line? It'sparty time!

You may want to bring some bamboo torches to light the way!

A fantasy beach wedding theme could be anything you wish!

* Be Cinderella with your Prince Charming. Have him place the "glass slipper" that fits on your foot as a symbol of your perfect union. You could hire a professional sand sculptor to build a beautiful sand castle asa background for your fairytale theme. Leave in a horse drawn carriage.

* Have a Pirate Wedding. Rent costumes and decorate with treasurechests fake gold coins and jewelry. Have a real treasure hunt. Leaveon a boat.

* How about an "I Dream of Jeannie" beach wedding theme? Decoratewith pretty, colorful bottles in the sand like the one she was found in. Atthe end of the day, disappear in a cloud of smoke!

* A Western beach wedding theme would be fun! Many beaches allowhorseback riding. The reception could be a good old fashioned fireside "camp out"under the stars. Leave on horseback.

Here are a few more beach wedding ideas to consider...

* Rainbows - Create a rainbow to wed under out of brightly colored helium filled balloons tied together. Hold them down with the "pots of gold" at each end. Have everyone bring a colored umbrella to decorate the aisle with. Great back plan up in case it rains!

* Butterflies - Shades of yellow and orange woven amongst flowers in your tiara and bouquet. Use butterfly boutonnieres for the guys.

* Sunflowers - cheery and colorful!

* Fishing - Decorate with fishing gear and old hooks. Cut the barbs off though!

* Golfing - Marry on your favorite golf course. Decorating would be so easy! Don't forget the "just married sign" on the back of your golf cart!

* Surfing - Of course surf boards and The Beach Boys come to mind here.

* Diving - Decorate with toy masks, snorkels and flippers.

* Sponge Bob Square Pants - As crazy as it sounds, there are adults that love him!

Beach wedding ideas are endless!
