4 Great Summer and Beach Weddings Favors For Your Beach Wedding

By Aaron Hu

It will be summer time when your wedding takes place. Now do you get married in your hometown or do you want to have a beach wedding? It might even come down to mosquitoes in your drink or sand stuck in your hair. Do you want to tempt Mother Nature with an outdoor wedding? Do you like the beach wedding favors better than the summer wedding favors? Believe it or not, it might not make as much of a difference as you might think. They have more in common than they do not.

First, there are the colors. Think of the colors of summer. Think of the dark, vibrant hues of the season. Brilliant reds, bright blues, sunny yellows are just some of them. Now think of the colors of the sky over the beach and the colors of beach balls. They are the same. Those are the same colors that you will use in your wedding and again with the wedding favors. That is why both weddings share so many of the favors, like candies and candles and such.

On top of that, think of the weather. Few people go to the beach in the snow and few flowers are in bloom after a hard freeze. Summer days are when the flowers are in bloom and summer days are when the walk on the beach. During outdoor summer weddings the groom tends to wear a suit as a tuxedo is too warm. The relaxed feel of the beach and the heat make a tuxedo a poor choice for a wedding there as well. As with favors again, they share another feature. Neither weddings use chocolate. You would have little chocolate puddles! This is another way they are similar. It's that same weather that makes you cross your fingers hoping not to get rained on but at either place it will just rain for a few minutes if it does at all.

As similar as they can be, though, they are still two very different types of weddings. Even if they can share so many different wedding favors, they cannot really share the decorations. Summer weddings often have garden themes and as such unique decorations and decor. Terra cotta pots and small garden implement often show up, as well as song birds and glass butterflies. Many have a rustic feel with dries vines. None of these decorations are very beach like.

With beaches you really enter a whole new world that has its own hallmarks. Of course sea shells will show, as will sand dollars and small star fish. A nautical theme can be used as well, maybe small light houses with tea candles if it will be dusk or night. Ropes and anchors will not look a bit out of place. You could even do a large brass bell to announce the end of the ceremony. Announce your wedding to the world! There are so many decorating options to this type of wedding as well.

No matter which one you choose, you will now see them as similar as well as different. So many of the wedding favors work for both summer and beach weddings All the bright colors come out and make a festive display. - 30544
