Beach Wedding Reception Ideas
The calm serenity of the ocean waves and the soft sand beneath your feet is very appealing for a wedding reception. Check out my beach reception ideas to help you plan your perfect reception.
When choosing the time of day for your wedding celebration, remember to check the tide schedule. Low tides can bring a residue of shells, seaweed, other debris and sometimes an unpleasant smell. High tides can bring rogue waves. For the ultimate effect, it may be best to chose your reception time between high and low tide. Keep everything well anchored as beach breezes could play havoc with your decorations, table linens and floral arrangements.
If you are getting married at a public beach, remember to inquire with the local officials to determine if a permit is necessary. You may also want to know if alcohol is permitted. Since we cannot control the weather, it is best to choose a wedding date that is outside of hurricane season. If at all possible, have an alternative reception plan. Your decorations can be reflective of the ocean setting. Use a seashell picture frame as place card holders, which can also be your wedding favor. A sculptured sand castle can be used for your centerpieces. Another beautiful centerpiece idea would be to place sand and tiny seashells in a glass container with a candle as shown below.
Your beach theme favors can include purchasing small seashell containers and fill them with candy. A practical beach favor would be to purchase a seashell key ring and decorate the key ring with ribbon and tulle. Your food can be whatever you like. Adding some seafood such as: shrimp, calamari, clams, lobster, crab cakes and scallops will keep the beach theme flowing.
