NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BEACH WEDDING
 A
beach wedding in Northern California is a wonderful way to celebrate your
love for your partner. The sand, the water, and the sun, make a lovely
backdrop for a wedding anytime of the year in Northern California. Coast
Weddings are so popular that they take place in any season and there is
a multitude of ways to make your wedding unique and special
The Invitations
You can send out shell shaped invitations to your guests in order to get
them into the beach theme ahead of time. You might suggest in the invitation
that guest bring their own chairs if you don’t plan on providing seating,
which is very common in California casual beach weddings.
The Decorations
A shaded pavilion is a great stage for your beach wedding in California.
You can decorate it with flowers and netting. This is also a good idea for
the tables which will hold the wedding cake. You might choose to go without
a pavilion but if you still would like to distinguish the exact place where
you will be married, you can use a white arch with flowers and ribbons.
You can choose to decorate the tables and seating areas with sand and shells
from the ocean to give your beach wedding a natural feel.
You will be surprised at all the great wedding favors that you will be able
to find at small tourist stops near the beach. They will have all kinds
of fun ideas to add some color to your reception. Try large plastic fish,
or wildly colored beach towels. You can fill plastic sand pails with treats
for your guests. This will bring back memories of the childhood days on
the beach and are sure to make your guest smile.
Casual Weddings
 If
you’re going for a more casual feel at your wedding, you might choose
to do a traditional clam bake and allow guests to dress in their Hawaiian
shirts and beach shorts! This is a fun way to relax on what is normally
a stressful day. Your guests will appreciate the laid back atmosphere
as well.
