My fiance and I considered having a destination wedding on a cruise ship, but then changed our minds and decided on a beach wedding and reception instead. A cruise ship wedding would be a great idea, but it could have gotten a little too expensive. With all the people on our guest list we’d probably have to rent the whole ship, because there wouldn’t be room for other passengers, and we couldn’t really take anyone off our list, they’re our families and friends. So we decided that a beach wedding would be the next best thing, and we’ll take the cruise for our honeymoon. Sounds like a plan to me.
The first thing to do was find a beach area that would allow us to have a ceremony and beach party reception. My fiance took care of all that and I got to handle mailing out the invitations. I bought some very nice beach themed invitations and each day I’d fill out a few more until I got them all done. Everyone answered with a most definite yes. They all said they were really looking forward to coming to our wedding and beach party reception. Next I got online and started my search for all the beach wedding themed accessories and supplies I could find. I’m talking about beach cake toppers to beach wedding favors, and they had them all.
They had the most adorable wedding cake toppers to choose from. They even had funny cake toppers, and I almost went with that, but then I spotted the perfect beach themed cake topper and decided that was the one. It was a porcelain bride and groom walking along the beach and it was so romantic. Our cake was pretty magnificent too. It was a beautiful beach themed cake with edible fondant pearls and seashells, and iced with buttercream frosting with three tiers of ruffled scallops and shells. I even found a cake serving set that was perfect for my theme. There was everything I needed to make our themed wedding a success.
All my reception tables looked fantastic with their centerpieces, crystal glassware and the gorgeous place card holders that looked like little sailboats at each place setting. I also had wedding favors beach theme gifts that were these lovely little tealight candles, with a beach design on each and everyone. I liked them so much that I made sure I bought extra for myself. I may even go back online and pick up a few more items that I like. They do have some spectacular photo frames and candles that you can use for birthdays, wedding showers and even baby showers, which I hope to have real soon. My niece is having a birthday coming up soon, maybe I should clue my sister in law in on this place.
I’m so glad everyone was having such a wonderful time. We did have a lot of fun dancing, swimming and just partying on the warm sands all afternoon. When it began to reach the sunset hour, we lit tiki torches all around. The torches made everything even more romantic. Some of my guests told me how fabulous everything was and thanked us for the lovely beach themed wedding favors we gave them as gifts of appreciation. We were having such a wonderful time on the beach with our friends, that I really hated to leave. But our honeymoon beckoned. Maybe we’ll do this again, someday. Maybe we could plan on having a beach party for our anniversary. That would be a great idea. And I know just where to go for our anniversary party supplies.
