Beach Wedding Decorations - Tips For an Awesome Beach Wedding!
Decorating for your beach wedding can be a bit of a challenge.
You already have the most stunning decoration of all - the lake or
ocean. But here's some beach wedding decorations tips that will be
helpful. The goal is to add to what is already there on the beach just
enough to give it a wedding-feel without overtaking the natural beauty
that surrounds you and your guests.

If you are actually getting
married on the sand, you may want to create an "aisle" to walk down.
Columns can be buried part way in the sand to ensure they don't fall
over. Fabric to match the bride's dress or the wedding colors can be
draped from column to column to create a whimsical aisle right on the
sand.
Aisle runners are popular for church weddings but are
definitely not recommended on the sand. One soft breeze off of the ocean
and your aisle runner may attack an unsuspecting wedding guest!

Choose
a color theme for your wedding that won't distract from nature. Bright
colors are not right for the beach. A light teal, gold, peach, or soft
pink will create a romantic feel without being overbearing. Everything
about a beach wedding should be light and flowing.
Your beach
wedding decorations can also be very minimalist. If you are having a
party right out on the beach, you still have the ocean as your back drop
and don't want to compete too much with that. Simple, light flowers are
best - roses are a bit heavy for the beach.

You can decorate with
seashells by filling glass bowls with the shells. It's simple and yet
beautiful and nice light touch to your décor. Candles are definitely not
an option for your beach wedding. Once again, ocean breezes are
unpredictable and you don't want a disaster on your hands.

Use
common sense when decorating on the beach. You may want to be in touch
with city hall or the governing body for that particular beach to make
sure you aren't breaking any rules. You never know if there are rules
about bringing seashells that aren't from that beach, or what other
rules might be on the books. It would be a tragedy to spend so much time
preparing for your dream day only to find out the day of the wedding
that your beach wedding decorations violate some kind of code.
In
the end, the most important thing about decorating for your beach
wedding is to enjoy the journey. There are so many options and
decorating the beach is not something everyone gets to do. Have fun!
