creative Ideas help please!

I know this may sound crazy, but just throwing it out there!

What about your favours being, Guylian(?) the shell shaped chocolates, that also taste delicious! And possibly naming table names after places in Weymouth, or things associated with the seaside or your engagement?
If he doesn't like the idea of it being seaside themed, perhaps you can just put things in really subtly.
Sorry if none of these ideas help, just throwing things off the top of my head!

You could always make the girls toilets 'beach-y'.. That way he'll never find out ;-)

I love that idea^^^ of the shell shaped chocolates etc. It a way of combining the theme without it being too over the top and apparent. If your OH still isn't keen maybe you could introduce things associated with the seaside in your entertainment. This is dependent on budget of course as they will be a bit pricey but maybe having like a candy floss/doughnut machine or hiring like a cartoon picture booth like what they have in seaside amusements or caricuturist so guests can take something home with them aswell as it being a bit of extra fun. I'm not too sure on specifics to Weymouth sorry but just thought id throw in some seaside-y ideas

I would of said you could combine the two beautifully and would be the best of both worlds.. As this way you can have the venue that you love but tie the seaside in as being important to you and having the best of both worlds

Just go for it anyway! We're getting married in Portsmouth which- technically- is by the sea, but our venue isn't remotely seasidey (it's a rustic French wine bar)...it's not stopping us from having a full on seaside themed wedding! Why not? TONNES of people have 'vintage' weddings, and we're miles away from the 1950s........ ?

This could be a really silly idea but could work (I think). You could create a photo booth area (perhaps under a gazebo outside and just your laptop with someone taking photos etc):

- A sign to say 'Beside the Seaside - Photo Booth'
- Sand all on the floor (if it's on a sheet of material your venue would probably allow it)
- Deck chairs for the guests to sit on
- Props for the photos could include sunglasses, a sun hat, blow up rings, a sunshine umbrella and anything that reminds you of Weymouth.
- A cardboard cut out that you normally get on seaside resorts
