Here in Indiana a beach wedding means the lake. Since we have snow on the ground six months of the year, many beach loving bridal couples opt for a destination wedding to an oceanfront resort. In these trying economic times, that dream may not be realistic. However, it is possible to create your own "beach wedding" no matter where you are. Invitations embossed with a seashell motif invite guests to a wedding and reception venue that has been transformed into a pseudo-beach. By using an abundance of potted palm trees grouped in the corners of the room and along the walls, the room becomes more alive. tables are covered in simple white linen and scattered with small seashells around simple white votive candles. A cd playing sounds of surf and gulls served as a background music during the cocktail and dinner hours to further evoke the feel of the beach.
The bridesmaids wore simple dresses in shades of blue and aqua while the groomsmen wore tan - the colors of sea and sand. The bride and groom both wore simple white, very breezy and yet elegant. The bouquets and florals consisted of tropical flowers and greens with small seashell accents.
The centerpiece of the gathering was the wonderful wedding cake; simple white layers, accented with small seashells and surrounded by brown sugar sand.
