Most of us would LOVE to be able to spend our wedding day at some far off location, sipping margaritas in a tropical paradise. The only problem is that this isn't always possible.. So if you can't get there yourself, why not bring the beach to you?
Here are some tropical theme wedding ideas to help make it fantastic。
Beach Theme Wedding Ideas - Color Schemes
For a tropical look, try to use the color of sand as much as possible. You can achieve a "sandy" look by using beige, yellows and tans as your main colors. Then use bright and vibrant colors as your accents to really make them pop!
Beach Theme Wedding Ideas - Invitations
Cut your invitations into beach themed shapes, such as sandals, sand castles, flip flops, beach balls and umbrellas. Sprinkle a little bit of sand into the envelope or invitation card to give it a "straight from the beach" feel. Send out a message in a bottle as your invitation. They're easy to make, all you need is a small empty bottle, and a rolled up piece of paper.
Beach Theme Wedding Ideas - Decorations
Have a volleyball net tacked up and strung across the wall. Blow up some beach balls and have them scattered around the room. Find a small sand box and have your guest book table covered with sand. Make a sand castle, and have toy shovels and buckets there for decoration. Lean surf boards up against the walls. Have sea shells, star fish, and toy crabs placed around the room. Give your guests lounge chairs to sit on instead of formal chairs. - You can even get them personalized with each guest's name, then give them away as souvenirs! Have bright colored decorative umbrellas at every table to "shade" your guests. Give personalized sunglasses to all your guests as souvenirs. Turn your bar into a grass hut by giving it a roof, and then attaching grass or straw to cover it. Cut some sea life decorations out of construction paper and tack them to the walls. Put bright colored flip flop sandals side by side, and attach them to the walls. Get (or make) some coconut trees, and put them around the room. - Wrap Christmas lights around the branches or down the trunk for an added glow. Make your own seashell chimes by stringing shells on long strings, and hanging them from the ceiling. Find some sea shell stickers at your local craft store, and stick them to dishes, glasses and decorations.
Beach Theme Wedding Ideas - Favors
Create your own sea shell necklaces by drilling holes in shells and stringing them onto a necklace. Find shell shaped items to gibe to your guests, such as candles or soaps. Create your own ocean gel candles by lining the bottom of a glass bowl or jar with "beachy", non-flammable items, and filling the rest with a clear colored candle gel.
Beach Theme Wedding Ideas - Fun Things to Wear
Tell everyone to wear their beach clothes, i.e.: flip flops, skirts, tank tops, button up flower shirts, etc.
Beach Theme Wedding Ideas - Theme Food and Drinks
Tropical fruit with yogurt dip. Tropical and colorful drinks, such as mohitos and daqueris - and don't forget the mini umbrellas! Coconuts, pineapples, grapes and other fun tropical fruit.
