Best Beach Wedding Accessories

17 Jul Best Beach Wedding Accessories

Beachfront properties are among the most popular venues for weddings. Salty air, sand in between your toes, and romantic sunsets make beaches the perfect setting. While choosing the wedding dress and suit for a beach wedding might be what comes to mind first when planning, there are other great accessories you can include too. Bring the beach theme and ocean vibes to life throughout your big day with these fun beach wedding accessories. 

Sunscreen & a Place for Shoes

If your ceremony is out on the waterfront when the sun is still out, you might want to incorporate a small area for shoes and/or sunscreen. This space could be a great way for your guests to see that you’ve thought of them when planning and want them to be comfortable and relaxed during the ceremony. If your guests know the ceremony is on the beach, they’ll likely wear appropriate shoes. If they’d rather go barefoot (and you’re ok with it), adding a space for them to ditch their shoes is a great touch. Whether you have a sign designating an area in the sand or a big basket, it’s an easy touch to add into your wedding.

Shell Jewelry

Another popular way to include the beach into your theme is through jewelry. Seashells are beautiful when incorporated on necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and even hairpins. If you’re looking for an authentic look try actual shell jewelry or just nod to the theme with silver or gold shaped shell jewelry. This subtle statement is beautiful and really helps complete any beach bridal look. 

Flower bridal robes

Bright flowers and beaches really go together. Since photos typically start while bridal parties are getting ready, brides love to wear custom robes. Buy a gown that boasts bright colors or flowers to bring the beach vibes to life early in the day. The colors will pop in your photos and the robe could be a great bathing suit cover-up for your honeymoon.

Floral Leis & Crowns

If the ocean is your ceremony backdrop, it’s easy to opt for simple décor. One way to make the scene really pop is through floral leis and crowns. Save them for photos on the beach for your bridal party or have them incorporated throughout the whole event for a fun vacation vibe. 

Sunglasses

Who doesn’t love a pair of custom sunglasses while lounging on the beach? These make fun party favors and are great accessories for your beach wedding. Buy in bulk and add your wedding date and hashtag to the side or just grab a bunch of aviators for a great gift that’s both functional and unique. People wear sunglasses all year round when outside, so they’re ideal for any season. There are countless unique ways to incorporate the beach into your big day.
