When it comes to beach wedding decorations your options are truly endless. So if you’re looking for that perfect decor to complete the look, stick around for some great ideas.

If you’re having a true beach wedding and you’re on a tight budget, you can most likely limit to an extent the amount of different decorations you have. Because if you’re getting married on a beach, mother nature will provide most of your decorations for free. Even with minimal additional decor, your wedding setting will look stunning. So make sure that you take advantage of the various color schemes and silhouettes that nature provides.

If on the other hand, you’re not going to get married on a beach but want to have a beach themed wedding, you will probably need to focus on choosing decorations that stand out more and catch the eye, so that you showcase your overall theme more.

Beach Wedding Decorations To Enhance The Look Of Your Reception Area

If you’ve just started planning your beach wedding and need ideas on what type of beach themed decor is available, the following list will hopefully give you some inspiration.

  • beach themed centerpieces
  • wedding parasols
  • seashells
  • beach themed candle holders
  • ocean themed table lanterns
  • beach themed place cards, such as sailboat, flip flop, seashell, palm tree and starfish cards
  • various types of starfish decorations
  • seashell napkin rings
  • silk Hawaiian leis
  • colored sand

On a budget and don’t have much to spend on decorations? Let your guests be your wedding decor. Ask your guests to wear a certain color. For example, you could ask your guests to wear shades of blue or orange. You can choose any color that you think would compliment and enhance your backdrop.

Planning and organizing a beach themed wedding can prove to be much more of a hassle then actually getting married on a beach because with this type of wedding you have to “create” the whole beach feeling yourself. You do have a vast range of decorations to choose from though, so don’t panic.

Some brides go for a designated color for the whole wedding, so you may opt to choose the ever popular turquoise or blue color scheme or perhaps a sand and seashells color scheme. As for the actual decorations themselves, you can choose from beach balls, fake palm trees, seashells, starfish, nets, buoys, driftwood, anchors, surf boards, tiki torches, etc.

The best place to find these type of decorations is online, party stores and specialized decorating shops.
