Beach Wedding Theme

There are beaches almost anywhere, and it is always a time of pleasure and enjoyment.  If you are a casual couple who would enjoy a beach wedding, or even a beach reception instead of a stuffy formal affair, there are many beach-side places that specialize in making a relaxed beach wedding into a classy affair that will be talked about for years.  And, for that added touch to bring your decorations into alignment with your theme, we have a fun and playful assortment of wedding accessories that are sure to please you  and your guests.

You and your beau may be fans of scuba diving and might choose to “go coral”.  Coral bottle stoppers on each bottle of wine are sure to be hit, and after dinner they can be given to the couple who is married the longest at each table.  Fun for your guests and it will add some flair to your affair.  With coral place card holders, coral stationary of all kinds, coral clings, and even coral wine labels, you can have fun with a coral theme.

Maybe coral is not your thing, but you might have a thing for fish or fishing.  The “all the fish in the sea” stationary collection could set the tone for your beach wedding.  The Kissing Fish Mini Candles are cute and would make a perfect wedding favor for your guests, or you can unpackage them and use the candles on your reception tables.  The Double Fish Card Holders With Brushed Silver Finish” are adorable, and would reflect the candle light on your table beautifully.  And if you wanted to mix it up a bit, you could opt for starfish items with your fish items to make it a real beach theme.

If you want your beach theme to be a little more broad and less specific, we recommend the lovely little Miniature Woven Picnic Basket to hold the mints or chocolates you will give to your guests as a wedding favor.  And the Mini Treasure Chest is absolutely adorable.  The little metal sailboat can not only hold candy for your guests, but could also serve as condiment containers on your reception table.

If those ideas don’t thrill you, the Flip Flop “Just Married” Mini Key Chains might do the trick.  Fun and useful items for those who are oriented towards an eco-friendly wedding.  Who doesn’t find a fridge magnet useful?  The beautiful “Smooth Sailing” Sailboat Magnet Gift Favor is not only beautiful, but it is beautifully packaged to really portray that beach wedding theme.

The laser expressions stationary is new in the wedding market.  These are die cut paper items for your table numbers or place settings or even to identify a signature cocktail.  Because they are die cut, they come in a variety of unique shapes and designs that cannot be achieved by regular cut paper.  Imagine seahorse ‘cutouts’ attached to your wine glass at each table with your guests name on it so they know where to sit.
