Having a wedding in Jamaica, and want to go with the beach wedding theme.
Got my dress already. But plan to make the invitations, order of service etc myself. Also thinking about wedding favours as parasols and fans for the ladies… not sure about the gents?!
Thinking of the colour scheme of the wedding to be white, silver and duck egg blue…?! Party wearing linen, silk, summery clothes…
We are having a BBQ Carnival Party as the reception on the beach.. anything i can add to make it special..?? Thinking of sparklers towards the end of the night… anything else to make it different/special?
We have 43 guest attending and 15children…
Just running my ideas by you… Any other ideas of how i can display the wedding as a beach theme, and not too traditional…
Cheers…
Any ideas for the 3hour reception?? Only got a mento band playing for 1hr.. should i extend it, or would people just mingle with CD music in the background???
First off, I’m SO jealous. It sounds beautiful… and fun!
I love the Carnival Party idea. Are you going to have lots of candy and sweets? Those giant pinwheel lollipops would be so cute stuck in centerpieces or vases. Are you having the traditional dances? Maybe have everyone light up those sparklers and surround the dance floor while you and the groom slow dance. Might make for a really pretty photo moment.
If you’re only going to have live music for part of the reception I’d have it in the last part. Light music while everyone mingles and has some cocktails and gets ready for the dinner… then fun live music while you’re all in the festive party mood.
Congrats and have fun!

I like the idea of white, silver and blue. I think it will look pretty at the beach.
For a handmade wedding invitation you could find a stencil of a seashell or sea horse. Use the stencil on the invitation but instead of tracing n the shape with paint use glue instead. Quickly remove the stencil and pour on some beach sand, or even colored sand in a color to match the wedding colors. shake of the excess.

You can buy beach favors from this website. I’m also having a beach themed wedding and bought all my stuff from here
http://www.decor24.com
As for beach invitations, you could always make them yourself, buy some plain invitations and print starfish or seashells at the top along with the wording.
I think ( I dont remember) that you can buy parasols from http://www.orientaltrading.com
I know i’ve seen some on there, but cant’ remember if they’d be fore weddings or not.
They do have other beach items too.

Awww I had Beach Wedding Theme, It was awesome, you won’t regret it! We had it at my hometown in Maui but we had about 200 people there which is ok because its a big beach! We had a HUGE kind of like see through white/silvery tent. My colors were silver and pink. So maybe you can add that, its a good place if people want to be out of the sun or what not but my reception was more towards the evening when the sun was going down so we had tonz of lit tiki torches all over the place. You could buy pineapples and other fruits and make like a centerpiece or what not out of it, or just for display? just a coupld of ideas I’m throwing out there! Best wishes! Goodluck!
