My wedding will be May 16, 2009. It’ll be a church wedding with the reception in the church gym. I’m stuck between a beach them and a three color theme. The 3 colors would be apple red, gold, and white. There will be about 200 guests. Which one would look better?
It’s be more a tropical theme rather than a beach theme.
I think I am leaning more towards colors.
I like them both! why couldn’t you use them both? for instance I would do the sand ceremony instead of the candle and put your colors in the sand. the favors could have the tropical theme in it. you have two great ideas do both or whatever is in your heart. but i could picture the center pieces with if you do vases you could put sand on the bottom with the ribbons that match your color scheme and if it is indoors you could put the floating candles in it or if you want to alternate do one table with that and the other with Pineapples and get tooth picks and stick them with cherries or cheese.It depends what type of reception you want you could do a lot, most important thing is have fun with it and make it your own and I wish you the best of luck.
for reception only
ceremony will be at a church.
You can use whatever color you like…Pinks/ LT Greens/Peach/Blues and yellow…Or think of the colors the when the sun is setting on the beach and go of those, they would be richer darker colors…
We are having a beach theme wedding in Ocean city Maryland, and I need ideas on the Save the Date wording. I am making the Save the Date magnets myself, and having a picture of a sunset on the beach in the background. I want something thats cute with a beach feel. Save the day for May 8th, 2010. If you have any ideas please let me know!
Thank you!
This may go against your idea since you already have a picture you want to use… but you may want to consider writing "Save the Date" in the sand with your fingers right on the water’s edge with two hearts.
Really, a whole lot of wording isn’t needed on a save the date – just the two of your names and the date. But if you want to, I could recommend something like, "Get ready to feel the sand between your toes on May 8th, 2010." or something like that.

I am having a beach themed wedding and I would like to give my bridesmaids something along the lines of the theme. I thought about flip flops but they all have enough of them (believe me they do!). Any ideas? something unique?
I think traditionally the bride gives her bridesmaids jewelery, someone told me that recently, maybe some coral or cool shell necklaces.
My friend is getting married and doing a medieval / fairytale theme. Any ideas out there? She’s got a belle-sleeve dress, victorian pew cone decorations and an arch for the front. Give us some GOOD ideas!
Colors are lavender and sage
Celtic music is VERY medieval. Especially the lute and harp music.
And how about lavendar sachets for wedding keepsakes. Make an accompanying card with the date and couples names in celtic lettering. Use lavendar coloured tulle squares, and a pale green or leaf green ribbon to tie them. You should be able to find dried lavendar flowers at a health shop (they are used for herbal tea).
For my nephew’s wedding I made bookmarks with a drawing on one side that represented lavendar and rosemary branches. On the other side the date of the wedding, and names of the bride and groom. One side was pale green, the other lavendar coloured. Then I cut them all the same size, and had them laminated in plastic sheets. Afterwards, I cut a small circle from the top and threaded lavendar coloured cording in them tyeing a small tassel on each end. They turned out quite nice
You could also make ceremony leaflets with all the details of the ceremonial prayers, readings, etc. for the church, putting 3 or 4 per pew. Use a cream or ivory coloured paper for the inner pages. Have them printed in celtic lettering, and glue a lavendar flower with a small bow on the front. (Use parchment or elephant skin heavy paper…it gives them an "old" look). (If you are going to do them yourself, you can find celtic lettering for your computer in www.fontfreak.com download the one you like best, there are several ( I personally like Kelly Ann Gothic, KingdomCome is neat, and King Arthur) There are even several fonts with capitals like the Initials on medieval manuscrot book illustrations (mosaic initials, Pee’s Celtic outline, etc)
Have the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets have ribbons trailing at least of 3 different lengths, with a small knot tied at the bottom of each. This is called a "love knot" and was used long ago on all bridal bouquets.
