4 ideas to help you embrace the perfect beach wedding reception
If you are wanting the perfect beach Gibraltar Wedding, then a huge part of your big day is the wedding reception. This needs to reflect you and your partner’s personalities and be everything that you wished for. Below we share 4 beach wedding ideas for you to embrace for your wedding reception.
1. Simple fairy lights and candles
The beach setting is pure romance, with its endless beaches and crystal blue seas. You need to keep this simplicity and romance during your reception, and well into the evening. This can be easily achieved with simple fairly lights and decorative candles placed on tables. Candles can be placed into simple jars that are decorated with shells.
2. Message in a bottle
Who says that you need to have a traditional guest book? Why not have a little fun and get your guests to leave their well wishes to the newly married couple as a letter in a bottle? Set up a message station, pens, paper and bottles, and let your guests have fun. Just remind them not to throw the bottles into the sea.
3. Shoe basket and complimentary beach towel
If you are having an informal type of beach wedding, in which anything goes, then why not have a shoe basket for your guests? This can be a large wicker basket placed on the beach for your guests to kick off their shoes in, allowing them to have some fun enjoying the wedding reception and dancing the night away. You can also include a complimentary beach towel.
4. Alternative to flowers
What happens if you want a decorative beach wedding reception, but no flowers? Well, the solution is very easy as you simply use the natural resources on offer to you. String together sea shells as decorative bunting. Build sandcastles on the beach to decorate the reception area. Use driftwood as decorations and make it a table feature. Use your imagination and go with nature.
