Casual Beach Themes



Rustic
After a sweet and simple ceremony at the beach, a 'country' backyard cook-out.

string lights; candles; wildflowers; vintage details; mason jars; rafia; repurpose barrels and wood pallets for a "buffet"








Silver

Silver is the medal symbolizing a 25th Anniversary.

Vintage & Antique silver frames, trays, candle holders, vases; silver seashells











Confetti

Bright and pastel colors; lots of DIY details; casual but fun!

Candy; Salt Water Taffy; Ice Cream Cones; Bunting; Garland; Tissue paper flowers










Fourth of July

While Red, White, and Blue are clear signifiers of the 4th; shades of red and blue like pale and antique pinks and blues can work well together and not seem too over-the-top holiday.

A casual environment, with a 'cook-out' feeling; add pretty vintage details to it and it feels 'fancier'.






Nautical

Dark blue; galvanized tin; brown craft paper; antique yellows and whites (cream) to soften; horizontal stripes; anchors; starfish & shells.

Casual, comfortable, elegant, sophisticated.

Dark denim and a crisp white button down shirt.








Beach Picnic

Beach blankets and pillows for guests to sit on; a simple "altar" at the beach; picnic baskets with finger foods

Family friendly, comfortable, relaxing, intimate








Birds & Books

(A theme that I used at my internship)

Bird cages; Book pages; wildflowers; DIY details (bird's nest, paper flowers, paper birds)









Dainty

White and sheer lace and linen; feminine & country; baby's breath; touches of pale colors (ocean blues, antique pinks)
