Even though there were so many beautiful favor boxes to choose from, I decided to go with wedding tags on all the favors gifts. The wedding favors I chose for our friends and family were so lovely that I felt they would look better out of the box. They really added to my table décor. We had a beach wedding and the wedding favors I picked out for everyone was glass beach themed tealight holders and they were just too lovely to hide in boxes. With sand and seashells inside, it was the perfect decoration for my reception tables too.
I’m so glad I decided to go with the beach themed wedding and reception. It was so beautiful, and I’ve got all the pictures in my beach themed wedding album to prove it. Not only was the reception a lot of fun, but the ceremony itself was fantasticly gorgeous with the sand and surf as our background and a nice warm breeze to add to the ambience of the whole thing. I found a lot of beach wedding accessories for my reception, starting with beach themed wedding invitations and ending with the perfect favors and wedding favor tag. Even our gorgeous wedding cake topper was especially made for an ocean side reception, and matched up so well with all the other lovely beach themed decorations we had for our beach party celebration. There was lots of great music and dancing, with several types of seafoods and salads for everyone to enjoy.
What better way to celebrate with friends and family than with an evening by the ocean, swimming, dancing and just have a great time? It was like a tropical paradise right here at home. Everyone was told to bring along comfortable clothing and many of our guests brought their swim suits and some were in shorts and flip flops. This was so much better than being all dressed up in uncomfortable clothes and heels for the whole evening. It was such a relaxed atmosphere, just like a big beach party should be.
My fiance took care of renting the beach area and making sure we had everything we needed, from a place to change, to the set up of our tables. He was such a big help on planning this reception, he even arranged for us to have a big bonfire right on the beach. It was so fantastic. Our first dance as bride and groom was even more romantic with the moon shining on the water, it was almost as if we were the only two people there.
I knew a beach themed wedding and reception would be special, but I had no idea just how special. Our tables looked just as elegant as if they were in a big reception hall. Our tables were done up beautifully, with crystal champagne glasses with seashell stems, our centerpieces were little sandcastles, and there were floating candles and we had tiki torches everywhere. It was absolutely wonderful. Our little tag favors we had for our friends and family’s thank you gifts, really added to the décor of our beach themed table settings, and our guests seemed really impressed with it all.
We were having such a great time, it was hard to leave it all behind, even though we were leaving for our honeymoon. But I do have a lot of pictures to help me remember the most perfect day of my life. I hope someday to renew our vows for one of our anniversaries and when we do, I would like for it to be another beach ceremony and reception just like this. I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate an anniversary.
