Neptune would have never imagined that the king of the sea would be so influential regarding weddings. From lighthouses to sand dollars, the symbols surrounding nautical themes provide an endless array of exquisite choices. The goal is to plan a beach theme by focusing on unique ways of personalizing the wedding such as implementing creative colors, textures, and materials, while still maintaining one’s wedding budget.

Seashells by far represent the most versatile decorating options particularly when the bride has to visualize every wedding detail ranging from her invitations to guest favors. For this reason, a practical approach is to determine what kind of seashell motif is both appealing and visually complementary to the design of a reception table’s centerpieces, linens, tabletop accents, as well as other components that make a well-decorated reception not only memorable, but also breathtaking – like a snapshot out of a wedding magazine or wedding style book. Moreover, be sure to work with your florist to capture your theme’s look and feel. Perhaps your florist may recommend some tropical flowers that complement a nautical theme, but with a tropical flare like hibiscus, anthuriums, or plumerias.

Without a doubt, the Internet provides a convenient way of researching the various types of seashells that may be suitable ideas as wedding favors. For instance, large seashells serve the wonderful function of not only being original ideas as candy containers, but also as authentic table decorations to be placed beside each guest’s place setting. Finding exotic pieces of seashell decorations that serve dual purposes is both equally attractive and cost-effective, since wedding costs can begin to mount as planning process progresses.

By finding wedding favors that serve both a decorative and functional purpose, many brides wanting to plan a beach themed wedding can still find creative ideas in order to produce an elegant wedding. Using a variety of sources and inspirations, the application of rich colors, textures, and exotic materials such as real seashells can provide the best ideas for personalizing a beach themed wedding.
