Beach Wedding Favors Are Fun and Fantastic






Beach Wedding Favors Are Fun and Fantastic

Beach wedding favors that combine style and function are a favorite for many brides because they ensure guests will use them for a long while after the wedding, and remember the bride and groom and their special day each time the favor is used.
Photo frames are a frequented favor because of their dual purposes at the wedding as well as their high usability once brought home. Framing your guests' names with a photo frame serves as a unique place card as well as a thank you for sharing your day, plus they can be used with nearly any picture at home. There are a wide variety of beach themed picture frames available to choose from. Try a photo frame with starfish for a touch of whimsy, or choose a shimmery or sparkly tropical themed picture frame to add instant personality to any tabletop. Whatever type of frame you choose for your beach wedding favor, ensure that it is not so large that it overwhelms the table or place settings.

Beach Wedding Cake





Beach Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes that have a beach theme can be anything from incredibly elegant to just-plain-fun, with a whole lot in between. What's most important is the 'look and feel' that you want your beach wedding cake to convey!
Probably the most popular and elegant of all beach theme cakes is to have it decorated with edible shells of all shapes (and colors, if you'd like). A blue frosted cake with white shells look lovely and classic, but you could easily frost the cake with any other color if you have a color theme you are working with. A white cake with white or ivory shells is very elegant, however you can also go 'whimsical' by having the shells be different colors (not necessarily indicative of nature).
Sandcastle cakes are also popular not only because we all remember building sandcastles at the beach when we were younger but because they also represent a 'fairytale' wedding where all dreams come true.
