Wedding Tips
Beach weddings are never out of trend all year round because they are romantic and timeless. Just pick the right resort to provide you with a canvas onto which you can paint your perfect day and make the most out of the breathtaking magnificence of the sea. If you’re planning one of these destination beach weddings in 2019, then you’re lucky - we curated a list of some fabulous beach wedding theme ideas that will surely inspire any couple to say “I Do” with the ocean.
Blue in any of its shades is one of the best beach wedding colours because it mirrors the ocean. Whether you go for turquoise, tiffany blue, dazzling blue, navy, dusky blue, or baby blue, all these shades will make your beach soiree unforgettable!
Since blue matches the white of a wedding dress and the colour of sand perfectly, you also won’t have to worry about going overboard. So feel free to use the colour in your invitations, favours and bridesmaids’ dresses as well. Better yet, we recommend picking two or three shades or blue and play with the layers to add a refreshing twist to your wedding decor. Just look at how elegant the pops of blue are along the aisle at this Lily Beach Resort Maldives wedding:

Prefer something that’s bolder to personify the sizzling romance between you and your beau? Don’t shy away from the bright flames of the colour red just because you’re opting for a beach wedding. We think it’s a stunning look especially if you’re having a sunset ceremony, or if your resort (like El Nido Resort) also offers a beachfront garden that you and your guests can adjourn to later in the evening for the wedding reception.
Otherwise, you can choose to incorporate a dash of burgundy into a more neutral colour palette of white just to jazz up the romance factor. A perfect look for any classic bride! Boho chicks can match the theme with a two-piece wedding dress that features a bold rouge tulle skirt. The possibilities for using a dramatic shade like red in a beach wedding is limitless.

Purple is often overlooked as a wedding colour - perhaps because it’s sandwiched on the colour wheel between blue and red, which are the two most popular shades that come to mind when planning a wedding. Being less common means your affair is more likely to stand out and be a memorable experience for your guests!
We like the various soft tones of lavender and purple in Lily Beach Resort’s wedding decor below. You can also toy around with flower choices, such as local orchids to pay homage to your tropical Bohol wedding. If you’re not one to shy away from drama, go for a deeper royal purple on your decor and your groom to add a glamorous flair to your special day.

Classic brides will love this look! An all-white beach wedding can sometimes border on the boring side of things, so we like adding a twist of eggshell beige or ivory. Not only is a white and beige theme simple and relatively easy to pull together - it’s also timeless, refined and flawless.
The key is to pay attention to the details and play with different textures: Have the groomsmen sport beige khakis (they’ll thank you for the comfort too), try a colour gradient with seaside themed toppers for your wedding cake, or strike opulence with ivory roses.

This theme works best for nature-loving couples who can’t decide whether they want a garden or a beach wedding. Just because you’re on the beach doesn’t mean you should keep the green plants to a minimum. The wedding decoration team at BE Grand Resort in Bohol, Philippines know exactly how to seamlessly blend rustic decor with the crystal clear ocean and white beach sand.
Wood and burlap frames will add just the right amount of “woodsy” magic to your greens without being too distracting. Hint at your theme by using leaf imprints and twine for your invitations, and play with large palm fronds (which will be easy to come by since you’re having a beach wedding, so push your florist for a discount!) for your table settings at the reception.
