Beach Theme Wedding Ideas: Bringing the Beach Indoors
Explore innovative ways to incorporate the beach theme into your ceremony and reception.
Wedding Theme Colors - Selecting the right colors is a key strategy in creating a tropical atmosphere indoors. At TheArtFactory, we specialize in flawlessly executing beach-themed weddings. There's no reason why you can't have a beach-themed wedding! Discover these strategies to infuse the beach vibe into your comfortable, air-conditioned wedding venue.
Wedding Colors
Choosing the perfect colors is one of the most effective ways to evoke a beach theme indoors. Consider a wedding color palette featuring hues like white and aqua, blue and pale yellow, or sandy beige with sea-glass blue. Teal, purple, and green can also work well together for a waterside theme, or you can opt for coral and navy. If you have a favorite beach photo, identify the most striking hues in it and voila! You have your color scheme.
Wedding Details
Nothing captures the essence of the seaside like a collection of beautiful white shells. Acquire shells from shops, friends, or relatives. If you know someone heading to the beach soon, ask them to gather some shells for you. You can also find bags of shells at home goods stores or craft stores. Use larger shells as table decor and fill candle holders, vases, or jars with smaller shells for centerpieces.
Wedding Knot
Incorporate thick rope and raffia to bring a nautical vibe to your bouquets and table decor. You can have rope looped behind the sweetheart table chairs or tie true sailor's knots to use in your centerpieces. Instead of flowers, the groom and groomsmen can wear boutonnieres made of raffia or rope, adorned with seashells, sand dollars, or starfish.
Beach Footwear
For a more beachy sensation, let the entire bridal party wear flip-flops during the after-party instead of closed-toed shoes. Explore dressier flip-flop styles for you and the bridesmaids. Just remember to get a fabulous pedicure since your toes will be on display.
Ocean-Themed Wedding Food and Drinks
Extend the ocean theme to your menu selections and drink choices. Serve fish and other seafood, order a beach-themed wedding cake, and select cocktails that exude an island paradise vibe.
