10 Handmade Styles for Beach Weddings
Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of interest in our handmade diecut seashell beach wedding invitation.
Seashell and Seahorse Beach Invitation
Beach wedding planning season must be on. And so to help narrow down the many choices out there, here are 10 of my favorite handmade designs for beach weddings found on Etsy.
Beach theme save the date bookmarks
Save the Date. Not only does this save the date announce your theme early on, it’s a bookmark your guests can use again and again…maybe while relaxing on the beach with a good book. {handmade by www.SunshineandRavioli.etsy.com}
Wedding dress shrug
Dress Up the Dress. Beach wedding gowns are often light and airy. But if you want to add a little more va-voom…and still be able to walk easily on sand, this glamorous shrug could be your answer. {handmade by www.Countessa.etsy.com}
Handmade beach wedding signs
The Signage. Handmade custom signs point your guests in the right direction, in a fun personal way. {handmade by www.Funkifolkart.etsy.com}
Shell aisle decoration
The Aisle Decor. These shell balls are a beachy alternative to floral balls for the back of chairs lining the aisle. {handmade by www.magartsypartycrafts.etsy.com}
Handmade beach starfish guest book
The Guest Book. This map covered handmade guest book is a real heirloom piece, not just because of the guests’ words within. But also because of the hand bookbinding work, including coptic stitching.

Anchor wedding place cards
The Placecards. Anchors are a nautical alternative to shells and starfish for beach weddings. And these are very unique, very fun placecards. {handmade by www.TimelessPaper.etsy.com}
Starfish place card holders
The Placeholders. Real makes an impact. So as much as you can include real shells, starfish, anchors, etc. to your wedding decor, the more you immerse your guests in your theme. {handmade by www.seasidedesigns.etsy.com}
Handmade shell cake cutting set
The Cake Cutting. The cake cutting is often the signature event of the wedding (after the “I dos” of course!). Beach it up with elegant shell covered cake servers that become a memento of your special day.

Fish glass sculpture
The Centerpiece. Wow. Forget ice-sculpture, this glass fish inspired centerpiece is elegant eye-candy you can keep. And can I say it again…wow! {handmade by www.ConfectionsInGlass.etsy.com}
Starfish favor tags
The Takeaway. Clean, friendly design makes these favor tags appropriate for a variety of beach weddings, from casual to elegant. {handmade by www.maidavale.etsy.com}

After this cold trend down here in Florida, your Treasury has reminded me of why I live here! Such pretty things ~ Thank you for including my shell balls. I have lots of shells, starfish and urchins that I can make into specialty custom ordered favors and decorations for weddings and beach cottages. If you have an idea and are not sure how to do it, Just ask!
