centerpieces is what I really need.Our budget is 3000.And would BBQ be a good meal to serve.We’re having the wedding at a park.How can decorate the tables?Thanks for all answers.
Tropical/beach – Sea shells, polished stones, fish tanks
You could have a Hawaiian wedding at the beach, followed by the traditional luau for the reception. Or as you have the wedding in a beautiful park you could create decorations with an old-fashioned picnic reception.
The good thing about a Hawaiian or beach-theme wedding is that decorations are very easy to find. You can make your own paper leis, and miniature palm trees are an affordable addition to flowers. Be sure to check the local thrift stores for anything tropical – dishware, shirts, dresses, etc. Just make sure all the decorations, as well as the attire, remind you of the beach. And you can cut down on the cost of champagne and serve Mai Tai’s or other tropical drinks.
Any ideas for a beach theme wedding?

BBQ sounds fab idea, you could have vases with sand and shells in, or large shells, the ones that are in a fan shape with a tealight candle in, that would be really pretty.

We made our centerpieces using a hurricane lamp filled with sand and some seal glass in our colors and shells (both things from the dollar store). Coming out of the sand was some tall grass (like from the beach) and starfish. It made a lovely centerpiece.

There are so many center pieces you could do for a beach theme wedding….you couls use sand with sea shells in a vase, or floating candles with shells on the bottom of a glass bowl or vase….research that online because there are endless possibilities.
As for the BBQ i wouldnt do that becasue you are going to be wearing white!! thats the last thing i would think to have.
Since you are having a beach theme wedding i would assume have fish and seafood…keep with the theme.
