The Internet has also made it much easier for brides and grooms to make their purchases online. Purchasing online saves you both time and money since you can often compare prices with just a few clicks.
Wedding Stationery
With a beach wedding, you have an abundance of beautiful and cool stationery to choose from. Set the mood early with destination weddings save the dates or maybe dolphin, seashell or starfish save the date cards. Beach themed wedding invitations are really a must.
Other ideas to consider are a beach wedding guest book, beach themed table number cards and wedding programs, place cards and thank you cards.
Beach Wedding Pergola & Podium
Some wedding sites would already be equipped with a pergola, arch or chuppah. However, in a lot of locations you will have to take care of these decorative supplies yourself. A wedding podium is often required as well, especially if your beach wedding is going to be more formal.
Decorations & Accessories
Although you can often cut back on some traditional wedding decorations if you’re having a beach wedding, there are some cool beach themed decorations that you can get that simply scream “Buy Me!”. Think Hawaiian leis, flower petals, shells, wedding parasols, table lanterns, starfish decorations and a host of other beach themed decorations.

A trend that has been popular for ages now is to get beach themed wedding cameras. Disposable wedding cameras provide a different perspective to your photo album and are sure to enhance it with lots of candid, fun special moments.
Another important item that will help you follow your theme, is the wedding ring pillow. A cute ocean themed wedding ring pillow will highlight your beach theme in style. As will a lovely beach flower girl basket.
Catering and Drinks
