1. ARCH
The main decor element and probably the most photographed one is an arch. There is so many options, from rectangular to the rounded one, metal or wooden. The choice is on you. For natural and rustic look we recommend wood base and decorate it with beautiful sunflowers. For elegant look, decorate it with white roses, white fabric straps, and willow branches. You can also rent an arch from a rental company, and ask your florist to decorate it.

String lights are perfect way to create a romantic atmosphere that will make your wedding feel like it is being held in a little fishing village. You can also add paper lanterns or even candles. It will look amazing.

3. GUEST BOOK
We found an amazing idea on Pinterest, that you and your guests will absolutely love! Instead of the typical guest book, ask your guests to leave a message, roll it up and tie with the ribbon and then pop them into the bottle. Open the bottle on your 1st Wedding Anniversary.

5. CEREMONY SEATING
For a relaxed vibe choose floor cushions or picnic blankets, and for elegant and modern look cushioned ottomans, benches or lounge furniture.

6. FOOD
Plan an appropriate menu, food that will keep well outdoors in the heat. I recommend tropical fruit and BBQ. If the BBQ seems to ordinary for you, make a complete fish menu, including fish broth, salad, and of course, you can put them on a barbecue. And for the dessert, we would recommend ice cream or a light panna cotta.

7. CENTERPIECE
You can create your own beach centerpieces with shells, floating candles, or starfish. Your table decoration is a great way to show your creativity, but also personality. Also the great option for centerpiece is a white calla lily, it will look absolutely stunning.

For bridesmaids we would recommend beautiful pastel chiffon gowns and orchid bouquets. Make sure that dresses are made of light, flowing fabric. You don`t want your bridesmaids to melt on the heat.
