Unique beach wedding ideas that go beyond sea shells and star fish

I love the beach, white sand, the breeze ruffling the waves and the  salty smell of the sea. The beach is also a favorite place for couples to get married and I must admit it would top my list as well. Beach weddings seem to have an over abundance of two things, sea shells and star fish. Shell place card holders, pictures of sea shells and star fish on mint tins and favors are made from these two items. I love sea shells and star fish but for a beach wedding here are some more unique ideas you might not have thought of. Sea horses or sea dragons fashioned into crystal and rhinestone brooches that adorn ring pillows and flower baskets. Wedding cakes carved to resemble sand castles, place card holders and bottle stoppers created to look like playful dolphins or made of coral. Sea dollar coasters and if you really have to have seashells then scatter some on reception tables for a total beach effect. Weigh your options and shop around for some good ideas, after all a beach wedding should go beyond just seashells and starfish.
