Undersea Adventure Wedding Theme

October 29, 2008 by BellaB

Ok, yesterday I stated that we will bring you one wedding theme a day for 12 days and this is day 2. While I was going through the list of wedding theme ideas sent to me by one of my readers, I came across “Undersea Adventure Wedding Theme”. Hmm… One of my thoughts is does she mean a “beach wedding”? Or maybe a “faux underwater wedding theme” - which means that the wedding and reception will be held above water - inside a hall or maybe an aquarium like the the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Northern California, with all the trimmings of undersea scape. Not a bad idea.

Although the thought of a wedding being held underwater came to my mind, too. But that would be a destination wedding, wouldn’t it? There’s an idea I can write about in my next post about destination weddings. But, for now, let’s stick to the original idea of having an undersea wedding theme above water.

Undersea Adventure Wedding Theme

Location: An aquarium, yacht club, or private boat are ideal settings.

Décor: Bright blues and greens, lights on the ceiling which give the illusion of water, fish bowl centerpieces; napkins with sea shell napkin rings.

Favors: Seashell candles, seashell bottle openers, sand and seashell tealight holder or sand dollars. Sand dollars can be painted with the date.

Menu: Serve seafood such as shrimp, crab legs, mahi mahi with white wine or a specialty drink like Blue Lagoon (vodka, Blue Curacao liquer and lemonade), or for your non-alcoholic guests, Craberry Punch (cranberry juice, pineapple juice, almond extract, and ginger ale). Remember to include non-seafood and vegetarian dishes for your guests who are not seafood lovers.

Attire: Dresses with a mermaid skirt. Blue or green for bridesmaids dresses.
