Tropical Wedding Invitations
It is important that your invitations create sea memories in the minds of your invites. Blue skies, exotic flowers, sea shells and sandy beaches featured in your invitations will perfectly set the scene for your wedding theme. You can have these invitations made as per your own description or even shop around for ideas.
Wedding attire
The attire you choose for your wedding is one of the things that will bring uniqueness and style to your beach wedding. Beach weddings are considered more informal than the church ones. The beach bridal gown can have features such as a one shoulder style, a v-neck gown with a train, or a gown with no straps. The bridesmaids’ dresses do not have to be full length touching the ground but can be at to the calf. You can opt for casual and light dresses with or without straps but which bring out the elegance of the day. Men do not love dressing up for occasions so being certain that your groom and his men look fabulous for the day is quite a challenge. The punch line is to choose something that will be comfortable for them. Using lightweight, breathable and flowing fabric for their attire can make things even easier. You should not forget to add a variety of colors and style to give your groom that look he has been dying for.
Reception and décor
A wedding at the beach may in the eyes of many appear as a casual event but the bride’s choice of reception and décor can set the attitude of the day. You can use colorful and bright tropical flowers to decorate your reception. Palm trees decorations also bring out a spectacular view. Lighting goes a long way in creating atmosphere at a wedding or reception. Opt for bamboo lights and lanterns placed strategically throughout the reception area. Decorate the tables with hurricane lights and candles including starfish, beach cabanas and sailboats.
