Wedding invitation

Beaches are quintessential wedding locations across the world. From the gentle pebble-covered shores of England to Spain’s sandy surf hotspots, these sunny outdoor spots make near-perfect environments for a wedding ceremony.

But even if you’re not getting married on a beach, including aspects of one in your wedding stationery can produce equally beautiful results.

Beach-themed wedding invitations offer brightness, levity, joy and a touch of organic flair that both you and your guests could fall head over heels for. Let’s dive into the different beach wedding invitations that Cotton Bird offers and what makes them such an excellent choice.

We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday… To Our Wedding

When most people think of the seaside, they think of family holidays, endless summer days, and the pure magic of experiencing the ocean on their skin.

Beaches offer so much natural beauty, but they also make us feel free. Using this exquisite terrain as the inspiration behind your wedding theme and stationery is a great way to bring those positive memories and associations into your celebration.

Cotton Bird has a wide range of different wedding invitation themes available, and beaches are not excluded from the list. You can expect a wide variety of design choices, all of which reference unique aspects of the beach.

Some of the design elements you might see in Cotton Bird’s collection include:

• Quirky beachside illustrations – think lighthouses, expansive cliff faces, and balmy strolls down a beachside walkway – all expertly designed by professional artists.
• Beautiful typography – no wedding invitation is complete without a stunning font. These beach-themed invitations are light-hearted and cheerful, lending to a sense of relaxation and joy.
• Unique cut-outs and shapes – if you’re looking for a simple way to make your invitations stand out, a clean cut-out shape can draw the right kind of attention.

In addition to these exciting decorative elements, Cotton Bird’s beach wedding invitations all come with customisation options to make your wedding stationery as unique and original as you could dream it would be.

Personalised photos of you and your partner, customisable information inside the card, and small details like gold embossments or scalloped edges will ensure your invites are one of a kind. Additionally, all our beach wedding invitations come with free matching envelopes, ensuring your theme is carried throughout.

4 Reasons Why Beach Weddings Are The Best

There are a lot of good reasons to love the beach. Not only do people generally associate them with happy childhood memories and the beauty of nature, but they also make near-perfect wedding locations. Here are our top four reasons why beach weddings are the best.

1. People associate beaches with fun and whimsy

Most people have happy memories of the beach. Revisiting it for a beautiful celebration like a wedding can conjure up all types of special memories and stories.

Weddings are about coming together with the people you love most and making some of the sweetest memories of your life. Paired with the already-beloved beach setting, your wedding can automatically feel more homey, special, and whimsical.

2. The decor is simple beauty at its best

Another great factor about beach weddings is that their decor is so simple and easy to organise. Shells, sunsets, whimsical sea creatures, and nautical motifs are all fairly easy to source and look stunning no matter where you host your reception. You can also choose beach wedding invitations that tie in with your theme and give guests a hint of what’s to come.

3. Beach weddings are easy to organise

Beaches don’t need too much primping to look their best – in fact, a lot of the time, their beauty comes from their natural environment.

This can make the organisational aspect of a beach wedding slightly more accessible than other venues. Gaining permission from the local council is typically a simple process for verifiable weddings, and setting up an altar or arch is easy when the ground is lovely, soft sand.

4. Stunning photo opportunities

Perhaps the biggest advantage of having a beach wedding is the incredible potential for great photos. The beach is most wedding photographers' dream location.

With the shimmering sea reflecting in the background, a warm sunny glow in the sky, and miles of outstretched beach sand, your wedding photographs are bound to be exquisite. If you and your partner are passionate about gorgeous natural landscape photography, the beach would be a great fit for you.

Bask in the glory of the seaside with beach wedding invitations

Whether you’re planning a classic beachside ceremony or simply want to incorporate similar decor, beach-themed wedding invitations are never a bad idea.

Your wedding should be a celebration that makes everyone feel comfortable and exhilarated by the magic of love – and that’s what beaches do best.

You can’t go wrong with the vibrant, unique illustrations of boats, beach decks, and glorious sunsets – and Cotton Bird has all of them. When it comes to fresh, exciting, and wonderfully original wedding invitation themes, the beach is always blissful.
