Sea Side Theme Ideas

How about about a couple on the beach?

beach hut with *getting married* sign on door?

2 shells with your names on?

2 deck chairs?

hth.x

Hi

this sounds like a fun theme I take it from your ideas that you are going traditional british seaside so the only other things I can think of are donkeys!!!! and rock, could you maybe get it made with your own message running down the middle and incorporate into centre piece or use as favours?!? x

Sorry me again but I just managed to find this pic and I think something like this would be great for invitations, obviously without all the writing on it

I like invites with Shells on for this sort of theme (picture below) I had a customer who had names of beaches for her table names and she also put a bottle on her tables with a note pad and pen for everyone to leave a note and place it in

You could fill bubble vases with Chocolate Seashells:

Here is a list of seashell table names too for your ideas box

Queen Conch (also known as the Pink or Caribbean Conch)
Milk Conch
Florida Horse Conch (this is the Florida state shell)
Florida Crown Conch
Lightning Whelk
Pear Whelk
Lace Murex
Eastern Murex
Banded Tulip
Florida Cone
Alphabet Cone
Florida Fighting Conch (for the relatives who don't get along- just kidding)
Pen Shell
Jingle Shell
Coquina Shell
King Helmet
Queen Helmet

Wow you guys are all up early lol, thanks there are loads of good ideas there hmm now might have too much choice haha

naboo - the rock can be quite expensive so we're going to buy bulk rock sweets that say just married/mr & mrs and as for the donkey I was thinking maybe a pin the tail on the donkey for the kids

I like all the sea shell/star fish stuff just want to make sure it's more sea side and not tropical beach although I love the idea of the message in a bottle for each table

Love it! Also an idea, punch and judy!!?

How about pebbles with people's names painted on them as place names?

You could have fish and chip favours! you know those white chocolate ones? in cones!

I do get a bit carried away but it would be cute! he he xx

Why don't you try putting shells on your invites, you can buy them in bulk on ebay?

Also, when I was looking at getting married abroad, I found loads of fab favour ideas, like different coloured sand in a miniature glass bottle etc.. I've deleted all the links now but have a search, there's some fab ideas.

Bygeorge - i was thinking of this, i have to weigh up how much time it'll take and how early i'd have to start them lol plus i also think it's quite fitting the quality of sounthend sea front lol

gemchoo i saw those and was tempted but i found some bargin glass jars (50p each) that we're going to fill with sweets i think although i do like the idea of filling them with sand/shells

will need a conference with CBM and OH as MIL2B is getting a bit irritating lol

I did the stationery for a beach wedding last year, heres some pics....

The bride used shells which she painted everyones name on as placecards

love this idea

and this idea for your table names, obv with pics of yourself

Hi Starla,

We have some starfish diamante embellishments which are great for seaside or beach themed wedding stationery designs:

Grrrr computer bugged and erased my message before I had time to post it... ?

I suggest lighthouses as table centres, or names of lighthouses as table names? You could find some lighthouse-shaped lanterns (I have one at home)

I like the idea of using pebbles as place names too, I have seen it in France a lot!

Beach huts: mini ones as favours, or bigger ones as table centres (or menu holders, table name holders)

Use fishing nets to make your table plan, with empty scallop shells maybe?

Table centres using coloured sand (blue & yellow-ish) in a wide glass bowl, to create a mini-beach. Add a few pebbles, star fish, a gel candle in the middle maybe?

Or this sort of place names https://www.mariage-original.com/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,199/category_id,33/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,100/ or https://www.mariage-original.com/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,155/category_id,33/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,100/.

I might try to find some pictures, it might make more sense ?

Look at those cool candles!!!!

Not sure if you are after jewellery but here is a necklace that I made that is beach themed:-
