Article by Stephen Badiali
Having a wedding theme means planning your wedding around something you love, your favorite color or maybe even the location of your wedding. Beach wedding centerpiece ideas can help to finish off your beach wedding theme.
Beach weddings allow you to be creative with the planning. In general, think nautical for ideas. All things related to the beach, sailing and the ocean fair game for centerpiece ideas.
Make sure your centerpieces fit in with the overall theme and color choices of your wedding and your reception location. Make note of colors at your reception location as well as the décor and use that as your starting point for all of your reception decoration planning.
Look online and in antique or vintage nautical stores for ideas and supplies. You would be surprised what you might find if you take a few days to stroll through a beach or harbor town.
If you are having a destination wedding, planning your centerpieces may be a little more challenging for you. Work with the wedding planner at your resort for ideas. They will be able to tell you what flowers and other items are available. They are also a valuable resource to bounce ideas off of and to lend a hand in pulling it all together.
Here are seven beach wedding centerpiece ideas:
FlowersYou can never go wrong with using flowers in your centerpieces. A beach wedding offers you the opportunity to include tropical flowers in your centerpieces, especially if you are getting married on an island.
For example, birds of paradise, orchids or hibiscus make great choices for a tropical wedding.
CandlesLook for unique candle shapes like bamboo, starfish, seashells or candles that look like coral. You can also buy votives and pillars that are decorated with shells, or you can create them yourself to save money.
Put them in a shallow vase or glass container filled with water, sand and shells. You can also use votive or floating candles in a similar way.
FruitNothing says beach or tropical like fresh fruit. Fill vases with lemons, limes, mangos or any other tropical fruit. Accent it with fresh flowers or other nautical items.
Hurricane vases work really well. Try filling them with sand, shells or water as part of your centerpieces.
Unique ContainersInstead of a plain old vases try to find unique containers to hold your centerpieces. Ideas include lanterns, bamboo bowls
Sand CastlesThis is a fun option that is perfect for a reception on the beach. Build them yourself with the help of friends, or hire someone to build them for you.
LighthousesUse them as centerpieces on their own or as containers for flowers. A unique twist is to have a different one on each table.
Nautical ItemsThings like anchors, sail boats or a ship’s bell can be used as centerpieces. One idea is to have a different vintage nautical item at the center of each table.
