Beach Wedding Ceremony Ideas
1. Dancing amongst the stars
Imagine dropping a beat on this beach!
Sand in your toes, your guests having a great time, Mamma Mia playing – I can see it already.
I love all of the mix-matched lamp shades hanging from the beams.
I also love how they haven’t added anything on top of the beams so you can see all of the stars when they come out.
2. Give your guests some shade (literally)
This cute little hat stand is a thoughtful touch to a beach wedding.
Your guests will thank you once the sun comes out!
I also love this table’s rustic vibe- it looks like it’s been there all along.
3. Seafood or see-food?
If you’re having a beach-themed wedding, why not make your menu and placement cards beach-themed too?
These little illustrated watercolor sea creatures are so adorable!
4. Shell we be seated?
Here’s another cute idea for a “seating chart”.
This way guests can take the shell home as memorabilia.
I love the cursive writing, so simple yet elegant.
5. For sandy toes
Yet another thoughtful piece for your guests.
This is also budget-friendly and so, so cute!
You could probably ask around for different paintbrushes to mix it up a bit and make it more unique.
6. Say “I do” under white roses
Just imagine it – saying your vows to the person you love, saying “I do” and then being pronounced husband and wife.
But it gets even better – you are doing all of those things under an arch of white roses.
7. Circle of love
This gorgeous backdrop frames the ocean perfectly.
Imagine the gorgeous photos that you could have with a backdrop like this.
You could also change up the florals to roses, daisies, or even sunflowers if you’d like.
8. Have a seat
This is the perfect chillout place for your guests.
They could always come and sit here if they’re tired of boogying it out on the dancefloor.
This is also the perfect place for old friends to catch up and for new friends to be made.
It’s also the perfect place for your guest’s kiddos to take a nap – if children are allowed at your wedding.
9. Romance at its best
Nothing says romantic more than candles and red roses.
Why not give your guests a romantic candle-lit dinner to celebrate the union of you and your soulmate?
This is the perfect table setting for a bride who is looking to wow her guests.
10. White roses and baby’s breath
What’s the perfect combination of flowers for your wedding?
White roses and baby’s breath.
There is something so elegant and feminine about this combination – it just utters class.
That’s why this is the best combination to have as a beach wedding table setting – classy, gorgeous, and fresh.
11. Seating for few
Why not have an intimate and small wedding reception?
Why not make it right on the beach?
I love how intimate this table setting is – the perfect scene for close friends and relatives to celebrate you and your newly made husband.
12. Boho chic
Everything about this table setting is gorgeous – from the candles on the table to the chairs that they’ve chosen, to the monstera leaves on the beams.
The mix-matched lamp shades add an extra touch of boho chic to this whole setting.
This is the perfect theme to go for if you are planning a beach wedding.
13. Sip and be seated
Here’s another fun way of doing a seating chart.
Having your seating table designed like this would make your guests more at ease and also give them their first drink of the night without having to ask for one.
14. Making an isle out of nature
This is the perfect minimalistic isle for brides who love nature.
Using flowers to shape out the isle is a cute and romantic touch.
I would have different chairs if it were my wedding, the guests may not be comfortable sitting on these benches.
15. Go big or go home
Pompous is all the rage right now.
From home decor to wedding table decor – what’s to love about these big feathery leaves?
It was a good idea to add this on top of something taller, now your guests can see the person opposite them.
16. Groovy isle
This isle is for the groovy and laid-back bride.
If you love surfing, why not add a surfboard or two to your beach wedding ceremony?
The carpet is a good idea here, you don’t want to struggle to walk down the aisle.
17. Coconuts and palm trees
This table setting is giving Hawaiian wedding vibes.
I love the coconuts and all of the foliage.
The hanging lights are magical, and these chairs look super comfy.
18. An arch of flowers
I’d say “I do” under this arch!
Look at how gorgeous it is!
I love how they’ve used different colored flowers and roses instead of just sticking to one color.
The draped material makes these gorgeous flowers pop.
19. Here comes the bride
Here comes the bride, here comes the bride…
This. Is. Stunning.
I love how they’ve made a pillar of roses that welcome you into your new chapter.
The walkway is a good idea – now you as the bride have a choice to wear heels/ shoes.
20. An aisle of rose petals
This is something out of a fairytale.
I love how they’ve used cushioned chairs with backrests – something that your guests will definitely thank you for.
The rose petals in the aisle are so cute – can you think of anything more romantic than walking down that aisle and smiling at your significant other?
21. A royal wedding
This color palette is to die for.
Who knew that red, pink, and blue went so well together?
This reception seating is farmhouse chic mixed with the royal wedding.
I love the hanging lights that create a roof effect.
22. Carpets are a girl’s best friend
Trust me, you do not want to struggle walking down the aisle.
This is where the carpet or walkway comes in.
Now you don’t have to worry about looking weird walking down the aisle.
I love how simple they have kept the arch – it looks as though it belongs there.
And the foliage that lines the aisle just completes it.
23. Less is more
The simplicity of this reception seating makes it beautiful.
I love how they have used neutral colors and embraced the brown of the sand.
The centerpieces of roses aren’t over the top and again, the hanging lights are going to make a huge difference once it gets dark.
24. Over-the-top, why not?
This wedding is where the party is at.
Well done to whoever planned this because everything goes together so well.
I love how the guests can come to chill out by the lounge area after they’ve had their meal and shown some moves.
This is where memories are going to be made.
25. Arches of love
I have no words.
Except for one – enchanting.
The choice of pink is gorgeous.
Who says you always have to go with traditional white for your wedding?
26. A picture is worth a thousand words
Here’s another fun activity that your guests could take part in.
You’ll have candid photographs and memories to talk about for years to come.
27. Leave your guests a message
Signage at a wedding takes it to the next level.
This one says: “The party starts now” and indeed it does.
I can just imagine what a blast these guests would have with a setup like this!
