An Ocean Theme Wedding






An Ocean Theme Wedding

A great place to start with an ocean theme is with your wedding colors. Cool water shades like turquoise, aqua, cerulean, and seafoam green all combine harmoniously into a gorgeous color palette. If you like, you can add the occasional pop of coral color for contrast. It would be wonderful to have your bridesmaids choose dresses in an array of ocean colors, each in a slightly different hue. Softly flowing fabrics like chiffon will have a great movement like the sea. The bride can choose her favorite ocean color for a sash on her wedding gown, or shop for bridal jewelry sets in watery hues. It is also possible to order custom bridal jewelry sets made in an array of seaglass colored crystals for a lovely accessory.
Seafood is a natural choice for an ocean theme wedding. Feature a seafood bar at the cocktail hour, with plenty of shrimp, crab claws, and oysters. For the main course at the wedding dinner, offer a freshly prepared fish dish. Salmon and tilapia tend to be widely liked by most people. You may wish to offer an alternative like chicken or pasta for guests who do not care for fish. It would be fun to serve dinner on china with a sea life motif, such as coral or sea horses. Choosing special china is a great way to reinforce your wedding theme and make your wedding look more beautiful.

Damask Wedding Collection - Damask Theme Bridal Shower

A damask themed bridal shower is an innovative twist on an elegant and classic design. The first method in which an individual can incorporate damask into the shower is to begin with damask invitations. Additionally, the maid of honor, or the individual who is hosting the bridal shower, can choose invitations that are trimmed in a damask pattern or that feature damask in the background. The next step in incorporating damask into a bridal shower is to employ the use of damask favor bags. At local big box retail stores, a package of twenty five damask favor bags will cost approximately $25.00.
The most common color schemes for these damask bags include black, white, ivory, aqua, red, or brown. Generally, these bags are accompanied by a color coordinating ribbon. Another idea for incorporating damask into the shower is feature a damask glass candle holder, wrapped in rice paper, in the decorations for the party. These small decorations are generally handmade and are available in different colors; however, the candle is typically not included. Another uncommon idea for incorporating damask into a bridal shower is to purchase a damask wrapped candy bar.
