Instead of using flowers for the boutonnieres, use seashells.  They will remind everyone of the beauty that the ocean provides and will add an unexpected touch to your wedding day.

Having a refreshment available at your wedding is an asset and a necessity especially during the heat of the summer.  It will keep the party going all night long, so long as everyone is well hydrated and happy.  Make some blue punch to keep with the theme of your wedding day.  It will be reminiscent of the beautiful blue ocean.

Bring the ocean to your guest tables.  Fill a vase with water and coral.  Surround the centerpiece with sand, seashells and starfish to complete the beachy feel.  For an interesting addition add a fish to the piece.  Your guests will marvel at how much work you put into the decorations.  Make sure someone is selected to take the centerpiece home or you have plenty of space for them at your home prior to purchasing any fish.

If you want a beach themed wedding what better location to have your ceremony than at the beach itself?  You’ll be able to feel the ocean breeze and enjoy the beauty of the landscape while making one of the biggest commitments of your life.  Not to mention, the photo opportunities by the ocean are endlessly beautiful.

Just like with the boutonnieres, instead of using flowers in the bouquets you can use seashells.  The bouquets will remain beautiful and colorful but will just be made with a different object.   They are perfect for the beach themed wedding and will give you the ocean feel you are looking for.
