She Sells Seashells { Ocean Décor }

By The Celebration Team 17 Nov, 2014

Shells are one of those trinket gems that most little girls have a fascination with – one that often lasts well into adulthood. While a beach wedding might be out of the question for whatever reason, shells allow you to bring a little bit of ocean love to your wedding day – no matter where in the country you are.

• Do note that we by no means condone stripping beaches of shells, however there are many local retailers where you’ll be able to pick up a bag of responsibly sourced ocean jewels for next to nothing.
• Fill the base of flower vases with shells and the top it up with clear or coloured blue water and lovely fresh blossoms or better yet – floating candles.
• Alternatively fill a flat plate of vase with shells and arrange your candles on top of the bed of shells.
• Source big oversized shells and use these instead of floral vases or to plant little seedlings in.
• Use beautiful shells as place cards – simply write each guest’s name on the side of the shell using a permanent marker.
• Spoil guests with sea shell shaped biscuits and delectable truffles.
• Drill tiny holes through the seashells and thread a piece of twine through it to make hanging strands of shells to decorate walls and arches.
• Scatter seashells and sea sand down the middle of the guest tables to bring that sense of ocean freshness to the day.
• Serve a selection of shell fish – for instance, mussels and oysters – in the shell.
