Setting the Scene

Carol describes herself as a surfer chick, tanned and slender, 'brownish-bleached-blond' hair and blue eyes. Her dream wedding is at sunset watching the waves come in, surrounded by her friends, followed by a casual buffet up the beach.

Her color palette, to the right, are flexible - 'if I can only pick three colors, those are the ones' - (of course she can have as many as she wants!).

She wants to put together her own decor and do her own gazebo or arch decorations, so we suggested a lightweight beach gazebo draped with filmy gauze in sunset colors, which can be used later in their own yard (something she says she was planning on getting anyway - so two birds with one stone on that one).

She wants to 'keep it real' - no frilly stuff, no pretense, no pressure. Kids are welcome but there won't be a lifeguard on duty. Two attendants - matron of honor and best man - no ring bearer, no flower girl, and the music won't start until they hit the buffet.

She doesn't want to worry about a bunch of flowers and may not even carry a bouquet unless she changes her mind and makes one. So we gave her a few silk NOT-flower ideas, just in case.

Their Gazebo

The D.C. America® 12-ft x 12-ft Rome gazebo keeps you and your guests comfortable and protected while you enjoy the outdoors with insect and privacy screens. The sturdy design includes 4 steel posts. With a low weight (182 lbs), it can be easily relocated and moved later to their own home.

Her Outfit

she wants filmy casual but 'not a dress'

Asymmetrical Gauze Top - Brown

Our great gauze collection now offers you the casual comfort of this flattering top with a scoop neckline and pleating details. The angled hem creates a flattering impression. Soft textured cotton in a garden of colors. Misses' 26-1/2"" long right, 30"" left.

Women's Plus Size Relaxed Fit Wide Leg Beachy Cotton Gauze Pant - White


Get a casual edge with this summer staple in misses' clothing - a ankle-length pant in cool and airy gauze. Classy details include flattering wide leg styling with a beautiful drape and a deep hem with a tiny slit. Comfortable elastic waistband. It's apparel to wear anywhere. Cotton. 29" inseam.

Her Footwear

barefoot is great, but we can do even better


This really simple design is obviously great for beach and outdoor weddings, it also makes for a nice "reception shoe" after a long day on your feet. -Shelley George Available in your choice of white or ivory in whole sizes . Comes in a standard "medium" width that runs true-to-size, so order the size you are accustomed to wearing every day. Classic flip-flop style has .25" heel, non-skid brushed tan leather sole and lightly padded straps for comfort.

A Sand Ceremony

in place of unity candles



A sand ceremony is a wonderful alternative to a unity candle which is often difficult to light in breezy conditions. By each pouring a portion of colored sand into the vase during your ceremony, you symbolize your union as one. If you have children, order additional vases and sand to include them in the ceremony too. Choose the sand colors that best fit with your theme. Kit includes three 8" tall clear glass nesting vases and two portions of colored sand, 17.5 ounces each. Personalization is available. Additional vases for children or mother's are available separately.

Heart Sand Ceremony Set

available in her colors


This is the most requested sand ceremony set. Use it in place of a unity candle which is especially nice for outdoor weddings. The set includes a 7" heart shaped bottle with glass stopper, a 4 1/2" metal display stand, two 9 3/4" heart vases and one 8 1/2" heart vase. The third vase could be used by your officiant to represent your shared beliefs, or by a child to represent family unity. To include more than one child, you may order additional small heart vases . The heart bottle will accommodate approximately 3 pounds of colored sand which is available separately. Shown here with moss green, bermuda blue and silver sand. The set is available plain or with engraving.

Reception Place Card Holders

for those not going to sit on the logs



Whether it's a long afternoon by the ocean, drinks on the veranda or settling in for sunset, this iconic Adirondack chair is sure to create a rush of wonderful memories as your guests take their seats. Each one is handcrafted and handpainted to look like the real thing and can be used as place cards or to display a photo or message. The chair measures 3" x 2.25" with a 1.5" x 1.25" opening for your place card.

For the Wedding Favors


The incredible details make these little tealights look like real shells and starfish so they're perfect for your celebration by the sea. Each set arrives ready for giving and includes four tealights in a clear gift box, tied with raffia and a beach-themed thank you tag.

Seashells for Favors


These fruit flavored hard candy seashells add a splash of color to your beach themed favors. Simply put a handful in a favor box or cello bag for a pretty presentation. Each seashell measures 1" and arrives individually wrapped.






Every guest will experience your love of the sea when they bring home a glass candleholder filled with real sand and shells. Made from high quality, heavy glass, each piece is packaged perfectly as a gift with a tealight candle, rope ribbon and a tag that reads "Thank you for sharing this day". Holder measures 4" x 4" x 3".

For Their Cake



She has in mind a single layer decorated sheet cake with a raspberry and vanilla drizzle. Crafted of white bisque, this topper has an understated matte finish in pure white so the look blends nicely with white icing, or really "pops" on a colored surface. A white seashell base completes the seashore theme. Measures 6" tall.

Another Cake Suggestion


Even a plain white cake will be instantly transformed into a beach theme confection when it's topped with this pretty piece. It's full of seaside details like an oyster with a pearl, a nautical rope tied in a bow and a real starfish. Made of lightweight resin, each topper measures 5.75" tall and 4" wide.
