Seaside theme

What about a bridekini (is that what they are called?)

In all seriousness, if you're finding it difficult to decide, start my making a list of everything you know you DONT want, which should help narrow down your options a little. It's not the most helpful suggestion in the world, but it might give you a starting point.

Many congratulations on your forthcoming wedding and welcome to the forum

We have incorporating the seaside into hours.

There will be an ice cream van, candy floss & rock for all the guests.

We will also hopefully have one of those boards with a hole for you to stick your face in to have photos taken. =)

We will have to swap ideas I have already got a photo board, ice cream van and plan on the rock etc

we started off aas a small ideas is growing by the day and the number of guest mind you as we have full pitch to go at we will have the spae and we are haing a BBQ and the sea dood man coming round at night lol

I am becoming obsessed and have been banned from car boots lol I got 53 blue and wite beech balls for 10 pound the other day

Oh love your ideas , you could have a campervan car ? I love the ideas of hawaian shirts or something for the men, you could have cropped trousers and blue short sleeved shirts. Sunglasses on x sounds brilliant ! xx

Hello Love your theme!

If it's of any use, I create bouquets made of buttons and jewellery - and anything else that can be wired in. If you wanted a seaside themed everlasting bouquet, then it may be worth considering this option. As an example I will be making a bouqet using driftwood, shells and deckchair material for a bride to be soon!

BD - where are you getting the mens shirts from - it's the sort of thing OH wants to wear for our Zanzibar wedding?

I think you need to avoid 'dressing up'.

You could get a destination dress - they tend to be made of chiffon so are floaty and draping. Much more suited to the 'beach'.

If you google blue wedding dress quite a lot do come up. You could chose one that has ruching and looks like waves to tie into your theme.

Get a fishtail dress as this can look a bit mermaidy

You could have a bespoke dress made. These are expensive (2 grand or so) but you could have blue elements added, organza seahells etc. Or buy a plain dress and have changes made to it by a dress maker.

Or, have a normal wedding dress and have the beach theme in your accessories so, jewellery, hair, bolero, shoes etc

Lots of options of how you can tie your dress into the theme without having to wear a bikini!
