I have most everything planned out I just don’t know how to decorate the walls and cover the ugly garage door! Please help!

Go to wal mart or some fabric stores, look at their cheap, sale fabric.

This time of year you should be able to find tropical, beach type theme fabric. Mix and match. OR blues, like the sky or ocean.Figure out how high you want it, say at least 6 ft, that is 2 yards, and how many feet around you want to go. Fabric comes 45" or 60".you should be able to do the math.

Get some cheap string and wind it around the room, using nails or stuff already up to hold it, then drape your cheap fabric over it.
You can save the fabric and make some summer, picnic table cloths. You can even use clothespins to hold them.

OR go find a bunch of cheap, on sale, dollar store beach towels and use those, and you will have some for next summer.

Maybe that will give you some ideas…..good luck, have fun!

Ok so I am just getting started on planning my wedding which is taking place October 2009 in Destin, FL. My favorite movie is The Notebook and my fiance and I absolutely love this movie. I would love to incorporate this theme in my beach wedding/reception and could use some suggestions. Thanks!

Well how much "beach" theme are you wanting? There are numerous ways to include it. Favors can be anything from yankee candles (Sand and Sun scent) to laffy taffy to Godiva chocolate shells. The centerpieces can be conch shells or bowls of water.

I mean typical Nautical theme is going to be anchors, fish, shells, and colors of navy blue and white.

Or the pink of the inside of the shell and the blue/gray of the ocean.

Other sand colors involve sea grass and sand/beige. You could be using salt and sand in your centerpieces. Lanterns or lighthouses.

There is really a lot you can do. I had a tropical theme and I used tiki torches, burning outside and inside with long grass stuck in the top. Pictures definitely set the scene. You can either use pictures of the two of you on the beach or big posters of beach scenes. You could also go write in the beach and take pictures of that. Consider writing your names, I love you, and quotes from the movie. There are lots of photo collages you could make of those shots or borrow 8×10 picture frames from everyone you know and use those beach shots and the frame as your centerpieces. Maybe even see if you can find a shot of the wooden rowboat like they had in the film and since WWII was a crucial part of that movie, that famous photo "August 1945"

Really there is so much you can do with a beach theme and with the movie. Think about what colors you really like and what you think of when you think of your wedding.

My fiancé and I are going to Hawaii for are wedding ceremony. There will be 8 guest. We want to have are reception in Michigan. Im in love with elegance with a touch of Hawaii (without being cheesy) to give our guest a filling of actually being there.

White or pastel table linens, simple flower arrangements, because tropical flowers are not cheap.
You can buy bags of shells online…just Google "wedding shells" and you’ll be surprised how many stores there are. Good for table decor.
A simple cake with tropical flowers, and "luau-ish" food and you’re all set.
The leis are a nice idea too. You can do Hawaiian without doing cheesy Hawaiian.

Beach themed wedding decor includes flowers, seashells and a bamboo canopy. Decorate a beach themed wedding with tips from an event coordinator in this free wedding planning video.
