Natural & Eclectic Beach Wedding Ideas

Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the sea and all of its treasures, these eclectic beach wedding ideas from E. M. Anderson Photography and Emily Grace Design are absolutely stunning! Using natural elements like sea grape leaves and coral and adding a neutral, ocean inspired color palette, a breathtaking design that would be perfect for any beach wedding was created.

Emily of E.M. Anderson Photography shared a little bit of the inspiration behind this shoot:

“As a photographer in Florida, I see a lot of beach weddings but rarely do I see one where the ocean itself plays a prominent place in the design, colors and mood. There is such grace, simplicity and wildness in the ocean, so those are themes that we really drew from for the design. It was very important to me to help inspire brides to have a beach wedding where the sea and all it’s hidden treasures are treated with the respect and admiration they so richly deserve. Emily Grace Design did such a phenomenal job incorporating natural elements for the decor, like using sea grape leaves as escort cards and building the table design around large manzanita ‘driftwood’ pieces. Our model, Cayla, was stunning in her custom gown and she really looked as if she could have just stepped out from the sea. I hope that this shoot is as inspiring to others as it is to me, and that it reminds us to cherish and protect the beauty of our oceans.”

Oh, and guess what?! You can see more of this gorgeous beach wedding inspiration over at Floridian Weddings! Head on over there for more of the beauty!

I know I would LOVE to see more beach weddings like this, wouldn’t you? On that note- will any of you be having a beach wedding? What are your design plans for it?
