Beach Wedding Centerpieces

Beach themes are often based on blue shades, and for good reason. There is no other color to better suit the tonality of the seaside than blue. However, this theme is so overused that many brides and grooms of today choose to pick something else, something more unique. But if you like blue and you’re only afraid of not being able to create a distinctive wedding, don’t compromise! Keep close to the blue palette but choose a unique shade, like turquoise.

We adore this nuance and we think that it can suit perfectly a contemporary chic beach or beach themed wedding. There are many other special shades to choose from the blue palette for an ocean side celebration, like: teal, aquamarine, aqua blue, sapphire blue, ultramarine and navy blue. We guarantee you that one of these tones can make a satisfactory selection for an original wedding. Moreover, we have a very special palette to propose you: turquoise and pink. This color mix is very beautiful, especially when used with cleverness and style.

You can obtain fascinating results for both an outdoors and indoors reception. The combination between blue and pink is definitely a successful one. But when it comes to turquoise and blush pink the effect is even sweeter. Turquoise is a splendid color that radiates tranquility and peace. Around turquoise you can feel an uplifting energy that can take you to magical places. It’s easy to create a romantic, warm & inviting wedding ambiance using these two nuances. Turquoise is regarded as one of the most sensual colors for a wedding.

Its vibrancy is brilliant and rich and it stimulates one’s imagination and creativity. There is one thing that can make turquoise even a more radiantly beautiful color, and that is its best fellow, the pink color. When these two nuances meet they make an irresistible pair. Not only blush but any other type of pink shade can compliment this color beautifully. For a more nautical feel you can use coral or peach. Even the hot pink and magenta shades can work nicely next to turquoise.

If you prefer the vibrant look, choose fuchsia instead of blush pink. Many people confound turquoise with teal and vice versa. But there is a delicate difference between these two nuances. Teal is in fact the result of a clever mix between green and blue. This is why teal is much more sophisticated than turquoise and also more grave. Those who want their beach theme to be more on the greener side can choose a mint or sea-aqua color scheme. You may not be able to find turquoise real flowers, but you can use vintage turquoise colored vases and other unique decorative items for the centerpieces.

Outdoors weddings are beautiful affairs to experience by both the happy newlyweds and their guests. More and more brides and grooms are willing to rethink the modern options and choose something trendier for their big day. Beach nuptials are growing in popularity, especially among those who want to escape the traditional big wedding and the fuss of the city. There is nothing more romantic to enjoy when you’re the bride and the groom than a sandy beach ceremony at the sunset. However, everything at the seaside is romantic and unique.

We adore beach celebrations because they are light, fresh and simple. Compared to the urban weddings, destination weddings are more adventurous, fun and cheerful. If you wish to get away from the pompousness and noise of a conventional wedding in the city you can choose a dream destination wedding. Nevertheless, it’s not mandatory to fly to a foreign beach if you have one in your town or in your area. A local beach wedding can also help you escape the turbulence of the city and enjoy a more commodious celebration.

Modern couples are more relaxed nowadays and they want something cozy and personal. Beach weddings are rather simple than sophisticated and also more intimate. This is where all the unique details that we see in these types of wedding come from. In general, small or private weddings are more concentrate in original accents. The couple who is on a budget or just want a more intimate ceremony should look for the most attractive details and decorative items to incorporate in the wedding. Since you can’t afford to spend your budget on irrelevant and useless things, spend it wisely on unique items that can transform a simple gathering into a fashionable memorable event. Let’s take a look at the charming floral centerpieces we’ve posted here today.

The first decoration is inspired by an artistic style. We adore the pleated mini white vase and the manzanita branches coming out of it. The designers also used white dendrobium orchids to make the branches look more elegant and romantic. The base was covered with deer moss and this is why it looks so organic and fresh. We recommend this decoration to eco-friendly couples who are having a small and unique alfresco celebration. In the second image we find a white pitcher filled with white and green flowers and vines.

This vase contains garden roses, jasmine vine accents and a few peonies. We think the combination between white ceramic and greenery is amazing! The pitcher style is ideal for garden, backyard or country rustic weddings. The last decoration is more elegant and formal. This is a terra-cotta candleholder filled with stephanotises. The blooms are accented with sparkling pearl pins.

If your wedding is a midday affair, don’t choose edible favors made of chocolate because they will easily melt under the sun. Giving the fact that the beach breeze is sometimes very intense, make sure that your light favors are not blown away. Among the most popular edible wedding beach favors we mention personalized candy bars, mini beach pails and candy, pina colada drink mix favors and sand dollar shaped cookies. Choose from wooden surf board photo frames, coconut scented candles, mini sea creature charms, nautical themed luggage covers. These are unique wedding favors that work with beach nuptials.

Beach Theme Wedding Centerpieces

Published May 9, 2012 |

By Postolache Ana-Maria

There are three principal types of weddings that a contemporary couple can choose from: the classic-traditional style, the vintage and the modern style. The contemporary style is not the only one to follow when you’re a creative couple and you want a special distinctive wedding. Any of the old-fashion themes can make a more adequate alternative in this case. The project we’re happy to share today is for a beach wedding. You can see for yourself that the theme is not traditional at all.

When it comes to seaside affairs, the first things that come to our mind are seashells, sand and candles. These are not the only decorative items one can choose for a beach wedding. You can get inspired by the beauty of the venue and create something seasonally attractive. Take a look at these pictures are see how fresh and refreshing these green centerpieces are! This couple used the vintage style to decorate their wedding and we think the old-fashion look, the beach flair and the green vibrancy make a sensational team for a beach nuptial!

What do you think of this combination? We are big fans of this project and we recommend it to all 2012 couples who want an ocean wedding with a fresh theme. If you are sick and tired of seashells, castles, sand decorations, corals and nautical charms, try to use something more original and eye-catchy. The classic blue hue can be replaced by the contemporary green. We think it’s a great idea to use green instead of blue for a beach reception setting.

These centerpieces also feature shades of white and a few yellow and blue accents. These nuances form an irresistible pair and they can suit any type of seaside affair. Among the most adequate types of green shades to select for a destination wedding we mention the following: emerald greens, sea greens, lime greens, mint greens, mustard greens and sage greens. The couple from this project wanted something fun, light and vibrant, so they thought that a lime green & white color-scheme can help them create their favorite atmosphere.

The cheerful and natural styles are among the trendiest ones when it comes to contemporary weddings. But when we add a few vintage details, the setting becomes even more festive and joyful! We can recognize here beautiful accents from 1930’s style. We adore the floral arrangements and the silver sparkling vases that add a glamorous touch to the organic green décor. There is something very chic about this setting and romantic in the same time. The contrast between the old and the new, between the vintage and the cosmopolitan is killingly beautiful! The mercury glasses, the delicate paper elements and the hints of yellow amaze us!

The process of planning a wedding can be very long and elaborated but also different for each couple in part. There are brides and grooms who prefer to go for the formal style and then the setting must be planned with more care and attention, and brides and grooms who care more for a casual cozy style. But in the end, they all want to simplify the process and get faster to completion. One way to cut corners and plan a more agreeable wedding is to adopt the beach style. You can escape all the worries and the stress for getting every single detail in order by choosing an outdoors location. Sandy beaches are great choices in this regard.

There is a lot more fun within the process of planning a seaside nuptial and less fuss. We know the majority of couples today want to go comfortable and relaxed on their wedding. And there is nothing cozier than a beach reception. The atmosphere is gentle, kind and inviting and the best attitude to approach is the carefree attitude. Beach-inspired brides are often nonchalantly dressed and adorned. Many of them prefer the bohemian loose style based on all things natural and organic. There are so many benefits of planning a beach wedding! Some say that the most important one is the low cost. It’s true that destination and local beach weddings are less expensive than big city affairs. But it’s not always the case.

We’ve seen many luxurious beach nuptials based on a lot of glam and glitter. However, in general, these types of ceremonies are definitely more affordable. We think the comfort is one of the decisive factors that can determine a bride and groom to pick a beach wedding over an urban wedding. The couple and their guests get the chance to dress up lightly and more practical. There is a lot of fun at an outdoors wedding and you must be properly dressed to cope. Beach affairs are simpler and they involve less stress. The guest list is shorter than in other cases, the decorations are natural and the food is light. You can get inspired from the season or venue and plan a local fun wedding for cheap money. The results will be wonderful! Planning a beach wedding could require more attention to the accents you’re using.

These types of celebrations are highly specific and this is why you must be more precautious with the type of details you’re playing. Make sure they are beach-themed or at least seaside-appropriate. Create a backup plan in case a rain or sandstorm will occur. Create an elegant shelter against a rough breeze. It’s always risky to plan an outdoors wedding, but also very fun!

Blue Beach Wedding

Published April 25, 2012 |

By Postolache Ana-Maria

There is no wonder that blue is the most popular color for beach weddings. However, before choosing your wedding color-scheme you have to determine the right blue shade. There are plenty of derived nuances to consider when planning a blue themed wedding. They are all pretty and unique and this is why this choice is so difficult. However, to narrow down your choices, you can simply make an overall portrait of how you want your wedding to look like.

Make sure to involve all the aspects that play an important role in your wedding, such as: the formality, the season, the exact venue, the theme and the amplitude of the wedding. For instance, if you’re planning an elegant or antique wedding and you want something soft and chic you can use pale blue. For something more dramatic, follow the navy or ultramarine blue nuances. Another unique blue shades for an exotic beach wedding is turquoise. If you like both blue and green but you can’t seem to decide between them, choose a teal theme.

Beach Wedding Blue (Source: eliteweddinglooks.com)

This color contains hints of green and blue in a soft proportion. The color we recommend today for modern brides and grooms who are having a coastal wedding is aqua blue. This nuance is very natural and it makes an inspired choice for a destination wedding booked for a sandy beach. Aqua blue reflects and captures the colors of the sea, sky and surf. In case you want to make the theme look lighter or more refreshing, pair the lovely aqua blue with white. Any other pastel or neutral shade can suit your aqua blue color scheme.

Beach Wedding Blue (Source: perfectweddingzone.com)

Those who prefer the eccentric look can use the aqua blue and yellow theme. This color combo is very special and trendy. We like aqua blue because it’s a natural choice for any simple and elegant beach affair. You can incorporate this hue in any wedding detail or item you want. Start with the wedding ceremony decorations and end up with the reception centerpieces if you want to obtain a unified look. An efficient way to make your beach wedding feel unique is to use sea glass.

These recipients can replace the standard floral vases or they can be part of other setting decorations. Use sea glasses for your flower arrangements and create more romantic, fresh and elegant centerpieces. You can play with various tropical blooms if you want to obtain a real exotic wedding atmosphere. Place sea glass, seashells, sand and other nautical charms in your glass vases. Or you can just use mosaic sea glass candle holders for a more impressive effect. Use aqua blue fabric to decorate the place. Anything light and sheer like organza or even cotton can fit.

There are two main ways to go when planning a beach wedding: the natural and the glamorous way.

Beach Wedding Reception Centerpieces (Source: wedding-pictures-02.onewed.com)

But the most popular are also divided in two: natural decorative elements or traditional flowers. And we say “natural decorations” we refer at seashells, corals, starfishes, candles, parasols, nautical flags, anchors, wood elements and other specific beach items. These elements will help you obtain a fresh and contemporary look without sacrificing the specific or the elegance of your wedding. Even if you’re using real classic flowers you can change the traditional look for a modern effect by replacing the standard crystal vases with something trendier.

Use wood boxes, baskets, shells, colored bottles or jars, pots or candelabras. As for the design of the decorations, you can use hanging crafty or floral arrangements or you can simply place them on the tables and on the ground. It all depends on the formality you’re using. If you are a big fan of surfing or other nautical sports, make sure to incorporate some of your favorite hobby accents in the wedding décor. Allow your personality to be mirrored by your wedding details.

Let your guests dive in your universe and propose them to enjoy a unique ride among your favorite things, themes and colors. Those who choose to have a beach wedding are usually more adventurous. They like cheerful parties and this is why they might like more the playful style. Use sandcastles, sand buckets, bird nests, fishing nets, paddle boats, lighthouses, surf boards, anchor charms, sailor caps, umbrellas and other fun elements or beach symbols and motifs that can help your invitees get into the mood of your special wedding. Go tropical and use exotic or seasonal boldly colored flowers.
