Summer is here! Yay!! Kids are off school, the weather is (supposedly)
hot and sunny and days out to the beach are in. So we think that an interesting
theme for an August wedding would be “a day at the seaside”. For our table
runners and chair bows we would be looking at a bright aqua blue sash, get
people thinking seaside thoughts!
Invitations first. We love these sandy beach invites, and at only £37.50 for 50 including personalising of the front, that's a bargain!
Next up, centrepieces. Picture a fish bowl vase filled with shells and
stones finished with a tall candle in the centre. Simple but effective and
completely accommodating a beach theme! We have found a picture below to help
you picture it for yourselves!
Table name holders, essential for guests to locate the table they are to
be seated at! We love these shell based stands, they come as a set of 3 for £6.95, bargain! And to go in these fab holders, how about theme friendly table names
such as beach essentials such as bucket and spade, or seaside locations.
For name cards a personalised beach stone with the guests name printed
on would make a lasting souvenir of your big day. Bags of stones can be bought
from may hardware stores or garden centres but we found www.wickes.co.uk had
a good deal with a 25kg bag costing just £8.49 in brown or grey.
Favours are an all important part of your day and we have a couple of
ideas to suit varying budgets.
Our first idea is a personalised stick of rock for everyone with names
of the bride and groom through the middle and the date your big day. These come
in quite pricey at £210 for 50.
If you’re on a tighter budget how about a rock sweet instead, 40 for
just £10.99 and still personalised!
With a variety of colours and styles available for either, these favours
are sure to give guests something to talk about!
Your big day wouldn't be complete without a book for guests to sign and
leave their words of advice and congratulations.
This beach themed guest book is just £13.99. Guest books create a lasting memory of your big day and are
definitely worth including in your plans.
Just before we finish here are some extra ideas for your big day. How
about organising an ice cream van to greet everyone at your chosen venue? A
welcome ice cream to accompany your drinks may well be appreciated on a hot
sunny August day and will keep guests going until your meal is served. Or
maybe change your wedding menu and fish and chips with mushy peas as a more
informal sit down meal!
We would love to hear any of your wedding plans, maybe you could inspire
