A beach themed wedding can be a beautiful occasion. The simplicity of nature combined with the roar of the waves and smell of the salt air lends itself to romance in a way no other location could manage. A bride, barefoot on the beach in a wedding gown, is one of the most beautiful sights to behold.

Decorations for a beach wedding can be as simple or as intricate as the bride desires. A fish net strung with sand dollars, star fish and shells makes a beautiful backdrop to an alter. Driftwood salvaged from the shore can serve as a border for the aisle the bride will walk down. Nature can provide many of the decorations for a beach wedding absolutely free. If a bride needs more than nature can provide, however, there is plenty of inspiration here. From the elegant to the whimsical, beach wedding favors are our specialty!

Wedding favors that mimic the natural theme of your wedding act as additional decor when placed prettily on the tables. Choose pine cone candles, lit or unlit, for a wedding that takes place in woodsy areas. Bamboo coasters, which guests can take home, bring a natural look to the tables. To incorporate a touch of greenery, choose topiary place card holders, or pick those of a sand and shell variety to reinforce the theme of a beach wedding.

Frosted Glass Sailboat Tealight Holders create a serene, muted glow when placed on bare wooden tables. The decoration doubles as a favor; simply invite each guest to take their sailboat home. For a more whimsical flair, consider Beachcombers Flip Flop Placecard Holders. Your guests will smile as they search for their names attached to the miniature shoes. Beach wedding favors are limited only to the imagination. Consider punching a hole through a sand dollar and attaching a favorite photo, poem or quotation to the shell with a ribbon. For a simple solution, order Personalized Seashells. Each shell can be engraved with an inscription and the names of the bride and groom.

For brides who wish to give their guests something they can use on the big day, Personalized Sunscreen Favors are a great solution. Each individual bottle comes with its own carabiner and a personalized message from the bride and groom. Gifts for the bridal party are customary. Consider keeping with the beach theme and providing flip flops, shell inspired jewelry or other items utilizing the elements of the environment. Alternatively, brides may wish to provide their bridal party with a bottle of wine from a local vineyard or other mementos from the area.

A beach wedding can be simple or elegant; pricey or inexpensive. Favors and decorations can be handmade or purchased. In the end, the decorations, favors and gifts do not matter nearly as much as the chance to witness two people in love begin their happily ever after where the world ends and the ocean begins.
