Sep 8, 2011
by Angela Desveaux




Ocean waves and seaside breezes combined with natural elements make this theme a funky,
eclectic option for an eco-concious couple.

High Sea Style: This tablescape features an oversized iron chandelier with art-glass droplets and glass votives.
Pucci print cushions pick up on the colour palette.




Eco Design
: A custom gown that includes elements inspired by your decor makes a stunning statement.
‘Dee’ is a fitted trumpet-style gown detailed with silver beads and green crystal leaves. Willow green chiffon ruffles enhance the back. Gown by Kim Ironmonger of Valencienne, valencienne.com.



Message in a Bottle:
An invitation encased in a hand-polished aquqmarine lucite box evokes an ocean feel.
Hand-drawn romanticized sea creatures with Swarovski crystals and paper shells hand-painted
with oyster-silver highlights are the finishing touches.

Couture Cake:
A delicious cake adorned with pulled sugar-glass in shades of blues and violets is
the perfect confectionary complement to an ocean inspired evening.




Beach Blossoms
: A bouquet of geranium foliage, scabiosa, eucharis lily, clematis, viburnum, allium, and astrantia is sure to bring an exotic beach feel to your ceremony decor.
