Offbeat Weddings

It's out of the box and I'm completely happy with it!

Our ceremony (2nd for both) is out of state & on the beach but having a reception back home; carrying the beach theme with the reception/party/open house.  I'm so excited to do something different & not the norm or what's expected!


guest book - boat paddles
linens - cheesecloth - it looks so beachy.  :)
centerpieces -  Rum liquor bottles with a single flower inside and tea lights scattered about
cake - it's a completely beachy
Food - causal, apps

I'm so looking forward to seeing it all come together!

    I'm stuck in IL among the lovely corn fields and my heart is southern!  I figure this is the last time I'm getting hitched, so a southern beach it is.  I'm so excited for everything to come together & fall into place.  Love these boards, although some of those 1st time brides tend to get a little testy. LOL! Maybe it's why I hopped over to the Offbeat board. Sealed
  • I have to agree, I love the South too.  ;-)

    I live in Wisconsin and I get so freaked out by how nice people are in Southern states. I seriously hate going anywhere down South, because strangers call you "honey" and it's just oh so weird for me lol. People in Wisconsin aren't mean or anything, we're just not that friendly I guess...unless you're in a bar lol.

    Just make sure you let your guests know that you're only serving apps, some brides that serve only apps have receptions earlier and shorter in length, or later in the evening, so people don't expect a huge dinner. You don't want cranky hungry guests! =)
  • I love all your ideas they seem awesome :)

    Your wedding sounds amazing. I love the beachy theme going on.

    Even though I haven't been there for years, I love the South.

    Oh man, I totally call people "honey" sometimes, lol.  Usually only when I'm trying to make a point though, like "honey, you have no idea what summers are like down here," etc.  I also only say y'all when I'm worked up, like telling my two brothers "y'all need to stop fighting!"

    </div><div>...and I officially hate you...haha I'm completely kidding. It's just not something we see on a daily basis around here, I mean even waitresses at restaurants only check on you once and they give you an unenthused "How is everything?" and that's basically it. One time FI and I went to breakfast somewhere down south (I forget where, we were on the road) and the waitress sat down next to him when he ordered, and she flirted with him like crazy, he was mortified, but I thought it was hilarious because she was about 60.
