What makes a great beach wedding dress....

<LI type=circle>Cool for a warm day <LI type=circle>Reflect the tone of the wedding - casual or formal <LI type=circle>Practical for the setting - will it drag in the sand? <LI type=circle>Comfortable
Appropriate height heels or sandals
Try to stay away from heavy beading, which weighs a dress down. Look for such light and airy fabrics as silk chiffon or organza. Also satin is not as forgiving for a beach setting as silk which will breathe in warmer weather.
Forgo a long train, which is impractical in the sand, and the cathedral-length veil, which could be annoying in a strong ocean breeze, is hard to pack and expensive to have pressed - opt for a short sweep veil or a tiara instead. A halo of crystals and small flowers also looks great at a beach wedding.



If you will be transporting your wedding dress to your destination wedding, be sure to call the airlines you will be flying to confirm their restrictions. Some airlines insist that you pack your dress in a box, others require that you check your dress in baggage, still others allow you to carry on a garment bag. Be prepared to have your dress steams at your final destination and call ahead to confirm that this service is available and cost.

Hey guys great stuff! I just wanted to ask that if applicable please post the link to the site where people can buy the stuff you posted or look at more if they are interested. If the things you find are just for ideas do not worry with posting the site, but if it is actually a site they can buy things from I think people may appreciate knowing where to find it. :bblol:

Here is an ariticle someone might find to be useful.


Sand and Surf Beach Wedding Theme
© 2003, by Rose Smith

What could be more fun than having a beach wedding theme? The sand, the surf, the sea shells, the playful dolphins...deep blue waters and orange-red sunsets. All combine to make a refreshingly fun beach wedding.

Wedding Attire


Bride's Attire

Something simple, light and airy. If you're not too worried about being conventional, go with a long flowing white sun dress and wide brimmed sun hat or large tropical flower in your hair.

Maid of Honour and Bridesmaid's Attire

Either long or mid-calf sun dresses with chiffon scarves to tie back long hair or wide brimmed sun hats. The dresses could be in a colorful pattern or in colors to match your color scheme.

http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25wht.gif</IMG> (http://www.google.com/)



Groom and His Attendant's Attire

Again, casual is probably better. A nice white sports jacket and white or beige pants. Add some fun to it by donning a colorful tropical fish tie.

Beach Wedding Theme Invitations


1) Instead of your typical beach wedding invitation, why not create your own with a color printer. There's fairly cheap software available to help you print out beach wedding theme greeting cards. Find a nice picture of a tropical beach or colorful fish and scan it for your cover.

2) Find invitations that have sea shells on the front and deep blue lettering.

3) Print out your invitations on parchment-like paper. Tear along the edges carefully to create ragged edges. Roll up the invitations and place them in small, clear plastic bottles (so they don't break). You can either have them hand-delivered or mail them with special mailing tubes you can purchase at your local post office.

Beach Wedding Theme Decorations


1) Buy plenty of beach balls in a variety of colors. Blow them up and hang them from the ceiling.

2) Create or rent wooden arches. Cover the arches with fake palm leaves and branches. Place the arches in front of doorways (if you're having an indoor wedding). Some areas would be the entrance to the reception, in front of the washrooms, a large one over the D.J., etc.

3) Cover your tables with a deep blue table cloth. Sprinkle some sand in the center of the table (try not to scatter it too much). Place a centerpiece in the middle of the table and scatter some sea shells and sea creatures throughout the sand.

4) Rent or buy some fake palm trees. Place them throughout the room.

5) Hang fish net from the ceiling or the walls.

6) Hang a hammock in one corner of the reception hall (you can also get the ones that come with their own stand). Place a couple of palm trees on either side.

Wedding Favors


1) Buy small bottles and hand write thank you tags on torn parchment paper with your names and wedding date on them. Roll them up and stuff them in the bottle. A classic beach wedding theme favor.

2) Purchase small glass bottles with a small sea shell inside each.

3) Get some nice large sea shells, careful drill a hole in the top of each. Tie a ribbon loop through the hole for hanging. Glue some sprigs of dried flowers into the hollow of the shell and finish off with a small ribbon bow glued to the dried flowers.

4) Buy small plain cardboard treat boxes. Fill with chocolate pieces in the shape of sea shells. Wrap the boxes in a tropical looking wrapping paper. Tie a small ribbon around the box and attach a sea shell thank you tag.

5) Give each guest a small pail and shovel filled with potting soil and flower seeds.

6) Another idea is individual candles with sea shells embedded in the wax.

7) How about giving guests a blow up beach ball.

8) Purchase miniature palm trees from the local nursery.

Also, check out the article Beach Treasures (http://www.wedthemes.com/beach-wedding-favor-treasures.shtml) for more ideas.

Table Decor and Centerpieces


1) Buy some children's pail and shovel sets. Use these as your beach wedding theme centerpieces. You can fill them with fresh fruit.

2) Large, pillar candles with sea shells embedded in the wax. Set the candles in a low, flat dish that contains a bed of sand.

3) Fill clear glass bowls with colored water. Layer the bottom with sea shells and "starfish" (fake of course). Float a candle on the top.

4) Another bowl idea. Fill with water and tint it blue with food coloring. Buy some of those fake tropical fish you see in novelty stores. Float them in the water.

5) Last idea with the bowls :) Place colored sand in the bottom of the bowl (available at craft stores). Fill with water. Tint it a light blue if desired. Place a "castle" on the bottom of the bowl. Add a bit of fake seaweed for affect.

6) See if you can track down some lighthouses to use as centerpieces. Check out your local hobby store.

Pew Markers


<FONT face=arial size=2>1) Use small lei's as pew markers.

2) A few pieces of fake fruit tied together with sand colored ribbon.

For attire, check out
www.jcrew.com
They have fabulous light summery beach type dresses for brides and bridesmaids that come in a host of colors. Compared to regular bridal shop prices they aren't as expensive either. They also have great summer weight suits and shirts and tropical color ties for the guys.

[bnd94]

Good idea Lacey!

This place does too and they are really cheap:

[mj512]

I am having a beach reception because my honeymoon will be on the beaches of South Carolina.

for our center pieces we are buying some sandcastle molds, putting in a mixture of 6 cups sand with 1 cup powdered wall paper glue, with water, and creating sandcastles that will of course stay up all night because frankly they will be glued :) very cheap and cute!

[mj512]

http://image.orientaltrading.com/otcimg/23_208.jpg?resize(250x250)I am also buying a few strands of these lights to put around my bridal table, and maybe my buffet line they are from oriental trading

Also from oriental trading, you can get 500 natural colored starfish for 10.95 and 500 colorful starfish for 11.95

The lights are only 4.95 a strand of 10 lights
Can't beat a deal like that :)


just wondering, how can I make the picture actually show up as a picture and not as a link?

Pull Off a Hawaiian Luau Wedding Reception Anywhere — With Ease





http://www.favorideas.com/phpAdsNew/adlog.php?bannerid=20&clientid=6&zoneid=0&source=&block=0&capping=0&cb=faf8d18faef404b78304e5707f4c8c68

By Kim Crinella


The Hawaiian word luau (pronounce loo'-ow) means a feast. For the people who live in the Hawaiian Islands, a luau is a gathering of family and friends to enjoy good food, good company, and good times. Because the atmosphere at a luau is about hanging loose and less stuffy than a traditional formal wedding reception, guests and the wedding couple tend to be more relaxed from the start, which allows everyone to enjoy themselves and the reception more fully. With a little creative decorating, any backyard or banquet hall can be turned into a virtual Hawaii destination!

Encourage guests to wear aloha attire to get in the Aloha spirit and contribute to the Hawaiian atmosphere. The most cost-effective way to add touches of Hawaii (http://www.favorideas.com/wedding-themes/beach-themes/15-favor-ideas-for-your-hawaiian-wedding/) is to decorate with fresh, loose orchid blooms. It's amazing what a change in atmosphere -- adding a few fresh orchids here and there -- can do!

They can be used to add tropical touches (http://www.favorideas.com/wedding-themes/beach-themes/tropical-wedding-favors/) to your wedding cake (http://blakekr.nesika1.hop.clickbank.net/), food plates (http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=96455&b=55818&m=10059&afftrack=autolinks&urllink=www.restockit.com/browseproducts/China-Plates.html), bar drinks, table tops, grassy areas, and float-in-water features. You can encourage guests to pick up a loose orchid and tuck it in a buttonhole or behind their ear. In Hawaii, wearing a flower behind an ear has a specific meaning ... behind the left ear means you're taken; behind the right means you're available. How much Hawaiiana you want to add is up you your personal preference and budget. Some additional ways to add a bit of Hawaii to your wedding reception are:


Dress children in hula outfits to greet guests with silk or shell leis.
Hire a live Hawaiian band, along with some hula dancers.
Hire a professional hula dancer to give a basic hula lesson.
Encourage guests to get up and dance by awarding a fresh lei to the first 6 people on the dance floor.
Have a Hawaiian photo scene set up for guests to take a keepsake photo, then sign your guest book.
Set up stations with Hawaiian theme games for guests to enjoy -- to get them to mingle and have fun.
Translate your guests' names into Hawaiian and put it on their place cards.
Place cards on each table with Hawaiian words and their English meanings, or fun Hawaii-related facts to entertain your guests and teach them a little about Hawaii.
Use whole fresh pineapples and loose orchids to create table centerpieces.
If your budget is tight, don't be afraid to improvise. For example, you could play Hawaiian music CDs instead of having a live band. Also, get a Learn to Hula DVD and have one of your wedding party learn a hula dance that she can perform at the reception, as well as teach to other guests. Keep in mind it's your special day, so incorporate whatever most appeals to you.
