Use an aqua colored organza overlay and you have the perfect look of the ocean. Place sand and shells around your centerpiece to complete the look. I love the glass cylinders that have a candle inside and are wrapped with translucent shell paper for a frosted beach theme glow.

What a beautiful wedding cake! I love the color palette and a great way to use oversized starfish. Not sure if these are real or confectionary!

(Find real oversized starfish at our store here: http://beachthemeweddingshop.com/2-4-sugar-starfish.html).

Memorial Candles Make The Difference


Your loved ones may have passed away, but that doesn't mean they have to be excluded from your beach wedding. If you and your husband to be want to remember your beloved family members that have departed at your wedding, you can do it elegantly and tastefully with beautiful memorial candles or even a delicately inscribed vase.

Whether you're honoring your grandparents, your parents or another loved one at your beach wedding, you want to make sure they have a place on your special day just like they have a place in your heart. Display a bouquet of flowers or place your bridal bouquet in an inscribed vase with your loved one's name or a short poem on your altar or on a small pedestal in the sand or next to the crashing ocean waves.

You can also remember your dearly departed with a specially engraved memorial candle. Keep the flame burning during your beach wedding ceremony and reception to honor your loved one and let your guests know that they are with you in spirit.

Represent your loved one's ascent into the beyond with a floating memorial candle, something that pays tribute to your loved one as well as to the beautiful ocean waves. Make a floating memorial candle unique by filling the bottom with sand and real seashells and placing it next to a photo of your beloved. No matter how you choose to represent your departed friends and family at your beach wedding, they will be remembered with a gorgeous keepsake that will keep them in your mind and heart forever.

Jeweled Beach Sandals For Barefoot Brides

Looking your best at your beach theme wedding doesn't have to be a challenge. A few simple touches can go a long way!

Many brides choose to have a beach theme wedding ceremony to go barefoot. There's nothing like feeling the wet sand beneath your feet while walking down the aisle to marry your future husband and pledge your love to each other for the rest of your life. Going barefoot can be a symbol of going back to your roots and enabling you to experience the fullest of each moment on your wedding day, just like when you played barefoot on the beach as a child.

While some brides elect to go completely barefoot, many like to wear beach foot jewelry to enhance their feet and complete their wedding look. There are a number of jeweled sandals created for bare feet that will perfectly complement your wedding attire and make each step towards the altar count.

If your dress is ivory or white, choose jeweled sandals that feature pearls or crystals in a color similar to your dress. While you might not be able to find the exact same types of beads, these types of jeweled sandals will look amazing in the sunlight.

You can also choose something more colorful, such as sandals that feature pink or aqua blue beads. Many designs have mother of pearl shell accents to really bring the "beach" feeling to life. Choose the sandals that fit your personality best and watch as you capture the attention of each and every one of your wedding guests.

Beach Pail Centerpiece Idea


This beach pail centerpiece was very fun and easy to make. We took one of our embossed tin beach pails (has shells and starfish around it and has a bit of a distressed look to it), added one of our green hydrangea and burgundy rose bouquets (floral foam inside the pail to hold it in place) and added some real shell swizzle sticks to add more of a beachy feel to it. For this picture, we attached a round table number card with some raffia ribbon to finish the luck and allow it to double as a table number holder. Such a gorgeous centerpiece idea!

Beach Wedding Centerpieces


See What's New at the Beach Theme Wedding Shop!
We have a whole line of beautiful silk flower wreaths that can be easily turned into gorgeouse beach wedding centerpices for your beach wedding reception!

These are really beautiful wreaths that would make great gifts when your wedding is over. So life-like, you need to get up close to see that they are silk!

We added cream colored tulle around the foam base (It's raised a bit so the tulled really adds some elegance to it!) We added a hurricane or candle vase with sand and shells and embellished the wreath with starfish and shells.

These really make unique beach wedding centerpieces. The best part is they are quick and easy and they won't die after your event!
