Coastal Beach Wedding

There are unlimited options for incorporating coastal elements into your celebration. We suggest turning to oceanic and nautical motifs, like sand and boats, for inspiration. Shells make for thematic place cards while driftwood could easily be transformed into a centerpiece, too. A sea-inspired color palette of blues, greens, and neutrals can enhance your big-day aesthetic. Or just stick to an all-white / neutral hues palette for a more romantic vibe. Take this ceremony setup, for example; the wood details mimicked the sandy beach and textures throughout thanks to white orchids. Overall, the altar created a beach romance vibe for the perfect “you may kiss the bride” moment.
