Some brides dream of a beach-themed wedding and plan their destination wedding to make this dream come true. But not everyone can jet off to exotic sunny beaches and blue waters.
The venue for a beach-themed wedding day
Unlikely as it may seem, we found a local beach in the Cotswolds with golden sands and blue waters and together with a team of creatives we whipped up this beautiful beach-themed wedding decor just for you.
A huge thank you to Joseph Dart Photography for these gorgeous, gorgeous images. Joseph is one seriously talented photographer and one I love working with.
Your ceremony area is so important, it’s the place where you commit to each other and exchange your glorious ‘I Do’s’ It also creates the preview for the rest of your decor. Fabulous Functions UK created this floral gazebo for the happy couple to tie their knot.
A wedding without wedding bands is not a wedding! Tom from The Middle Gree n is a Master Jeweller and creates the most amazing jewellery. Whether you’re looking for a wedding band, an alteration or a repair, Tom is your man – or jeweller!
Let them eat cake – your wedding guests will be in for a treat with this beautiful watercolour themed wedding cake.
We displayed the cake on a floating cake table created by the team at Fabulous Functions UK. The space between the layers of the table we filled with flowers and fairy lights to create an air of lightness and a little bit of the surreal.
Every bride needs her gals and she sure has some beautiful attendants. The super-talented Libby t akes all credit for he hairstyles which stood up to the puffs and breeze off a beachside exposure. The makeup was skilfully applied by the gifted Kamila Roberts MUA
Getting the decor right is so important, making sure there is continuity and cohesion between all the elements, it all helps to tell your story.
What decor have you chosen for your wedding and celebrations? Here, big beautiful shells nestled amongst eucalyptus leaves and brass candlesticks create just the right balance for a beach-themed wedding celebration.
Tables don’t only have to have numbers – names work beautifully too. Don’t you just love a wonky candle? Every time I use a taper dinner candle there are always a few that are unruly and go their own way.
Add that extra pizazz to your dinner menu cards, and theme them to the decor and colour scheme for your event. Sew Unique Wedding Station ery did a beautiful job with this wedding stationery.
What a gorgeously cute prosecco van! The lovely Charlotte of the Pink Drinks Van will fill this cute Prosecco Tuk Tuk with all manner of sparkling delights for your celebrations.
A very ordinary picnic table and benches are dressed ready for a banquet. Continuing the beach /ocean-themed decor we used a green ombre chiffon fabric to create a table runner and added foliage, candelabras, seashells, and conch shells creating a wedding favour with mini messages in a bottle filled with sweets. And you have to have a coordinating table plan for your guests.
Macaroons in the sea green-themed colour scheme – perfect as guest favours, they taste so good too!
Deciding on your venue is key – we found a beach in the most unlikely of places! The Cotswolds Water Park and Beach on the landlocked border of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire was just perfect. Green spaces, picnic area, lakes, beach, amenities – What more could you ask for?
Your guests gonna wanna have fun! Tom from Falding Fandangos is the guy for all your fun and frivolity moments. Tom has a very serious bit of kit that is guaranteed to take the sillies of photos. If you want to create lasting memories, this is the guy for you!
