Sea-Side Affair

The Beach is a very calming and peaceful place for a wedding ceremony and/or reception. Having the sound of waves crashing in the background and the warm sand beneath your toes will surely create a unforgettable memory. 

When thinking of beach wedding many decor styles come to my mind. It can be a Tropical Hawaiian Theme, a Sea Shell Theme or a Nautical Theme.

Deciding on the theme you want will guide you to the elements that will be incorporates in the design itself, guide by the budget.

Starting with the invitation will make the guests anticipate the theme, also will give them an idea of the attire.
