Use elements of the ocean like shells and starfish to design your invitations. Watercolor effects also work well for a more convincing look to send the memo. Whether it is this ombre style by Confetti Designs or the creative visuals by Margo and Bees, play around with colors and textures to see what stands out the most.

These days, we know that many brides are moving away from the traditional white gowns into something more their style and personalized. With an ocean-themed wedding, why not opt for a light and flowy dress that embodies the waves? And if your groom is dressed in a suit, a blue tie, and a starfish boutonniere is enough detail to enhance the theme with his look.

Ocean eye makeup looks are popular for a reason. The striking blues demand attention the second you walk into a room and never fail to impress. Embrace the spirit of the ocean with a similar look, bedazzling your eyes with creative styles.

The unity sand ceremony is a beautiful symbol of merging two lovers and their families to create a new family. Here, the bride and groom pour sand from their individual vessels into a third one together, with the blend of colors depicting their union as a couple. Perform this ceremony in front of your friends and family to showcase your love and create another special moment on your wedding day.
Other ideas you may want to consider are designs for your wedding arch or mandap and wedding favors like personalized seashells or even mermaids as unique entertainment. If you love the ocean and want to have a seaside or beach ceremony, embrace its essence with these ideas and wow your guests with a memorable theme. Here’s to you and the beautiful blue waters.
