Small Destination Beach Wedding...decor?

Samantha, on October 9, 2021 at 8:47 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 2

Hi friends! We're flying from Kansas to California for a small destination wedding with a beach ceremony and a restaurant reception. We've gotten our beach permit from the city and have already planned to rent some benches or chairs and an arch. I'm a little stuck on what level of decoration should be included. We'll be flying back home a few days later so I don't want a ton of flowers we'll just have to throw away and unfortunately the rental companies I've found with chairs/benches and arches don't have a wide array of smaller decor items to rent. Since the reception is at a restaurant, I'm not sure how much effort I'd like to put into decorations. I can only pack so much in a suitcase anyway, ya know?

Has anyone else run into something similar and have any advice on what to do or what level of decoration to worry about?

    Hi Samantha! I'd just keep it simple!!

    All you need for the ceremony is chairs and an arch (which you already have covered)! For the reception you could do small floral centerpieces, or ask if the restaurant has extra candles for decorating!

    Are there any other small décor items you wanted to include?

    I wouldn't stress about the decor too much. Like you said you can only pack so much and if the companies don't have the items you want then you would have to try and get it from somewhere else and that would require more stress and more money. I think just ask the restaurant if they have anything you can use and if they don't then just don't worry about it. Is the restaurant including nice tablecloths and nice cutlery and such?
