The Enigma of a Tropical Beach Wedding

Gone are the days of traditional church weddings. Nowadays, soon-to-wed couples have the freedom to organize their wedding and to choose a setting of their choice. One of the top recurring themes is a tropical beach wedding. The elemental beauty of the beach, fresh sea breeze, music made by the waves, barefoot on the sand, and contemplative view of the sun at the horizon, appeals to many. So why not celebrate your big day with mother nature as your backdrop? Nothing is more romantic declaring your love to the “one and only” with the sea and sun serving as your witnesses. 

Here are some great ideas to help you orchestrate your very own beach wedding.

1) Break away from the "all white" theme by wearing a necklace, or a set of costume jewelries made from mother of pearl in blue. Have your entourage wear flowing long dresses in shades of coral and aqua. Add an embellished necklace with mother of pearl components to complete your mood and ensemble. You can give your female godparents mother of pearl brooches as tokens.

2) Encourage your guests to lose their shoes and enjoy the sand between their toes. You can give linked accessories such as this ring anklet to the members of your female entourage for them to wear at the beach.

3) Use shells, mini-parasols or mother of pearl wired into flowers as place-holders for your guests' name cards placed at the reception table. They can also serve as take home keepsakes.

4) Incorporate elements that remind you of the sea into your bouquet. Most common of which is combining shells with the flowers. Another option is to put shell hangings at the base of the bouquet. You can replicate the shell hangings that can be given as souvenirs. You can use it as a multipurpose accessory, which can be used as a bag tag, key chain, and door knob chime long after your special day.
