How to Decorate a Beach Wedding

By Suzanne Daykin

When you are planning your beach wedding it is a good idea to think about the weather as this will effect all your plans on how you decorate. It doesn’t matter that it is raining or windy as long as you are ready!

You will want to have a designated area for your guests and yourselves as you may find that the sand will be too soft to have lots of chairs. For older guests you may want to provide deck chairs and for very young guests blankets for them to sit on. If you have guests in wheelchairs or with buggies then have matting down so that they can join in the celebrations.

You could use shells to mark an aisle in the sand and brighten them up with flowers - make sure you push the stems in so that they don’t blow away. If your ceremony is at dusk then you could mark the aisle with tiki torches or provide guests with lanterns to hold.

If you think that it might rain or it will be very hot you could provide your guests with your wedding color umbrellas and these could be used as your wedding favor as well. Check out ebay and overstock, plus your local dollar stores to find a bargain on the umbrellas. You could then have those little drinks umbrellas in the reception drink to add to the theme!

Covering the area with a wedding tent is a good idea but check with the beach authorities as to whether you would be allowed to have a wedding tent on the beach, some don’t.

If you know a local sand sculptor or local art student why not ask if they are able to design something for the ceremony - this may cost more than you want to spend but a definite wow factor and they last for ages. If you haven’t seen one before you will be amazed. You could recreate a fairy castle, a speed boat and even a vintage car - there really is no limit. If you have lots of children attending the ceremony you could provide them with a bucket and spade so that they can have a go themselves, this is a real help to the parents so that they don’t get bored.

Remember to add your beach theme to your wedding invites so that your guests dress appropriately!
