Starfish Wedding Theme Ideas and Cake Topper
The starfish lends itself beautifully to any beach wedding. It is one nautical element that has an equally beautiful and romantic shape that can be used to decorate the wedding venue, invitations, the wedding cake and favors.
It is said that the starfish in the water are a reflection of the stars in the sky. What a romantic thought, indeed!
Here are a few of our favorite ideas for a Starfish themed wedding.
Starfish Themed Wedding Invitations
Nothing says a beach wedding like Starfish Accented Wedding Invitations In A Bottle. They are romantic and bring old-world charm to a wedding. But there are other creative ways of incorporating the starfish into your invites. Adding a starfish with ribbon adds dimension and interest to your invitation.
Starfish Wedding Decorations
Starfish and other shells provide a very interesting option to using flowers for a wedding. You can give the wedding venue your own special touch by giving it a nautical feel by using a fish net to cover a pirate-style trunk filled with wedding favors. Use starfish to decorate the net. A totally different way to decorate with starfishes would be to hang them from the chandeliers or lanterns in your indoor or tent reception areas. Even on the table, they can look pretty enough without any flowers around.
Starfish Table Decorations
White and Blue (with its abundant shades and tints) are favorite colors for a beach wedding and make perfect backdrops for Starfish themed table decorations. Starfish along with shells can be arranged on a bed of sand to create beautiful beach wedding centerpieces. They can also simply be stacked in narrow glass vases alongside flickering candles to create stunning displays at wedding reception tables.
Another lovely idea would be to create centerpieces on the base of white sand from the beach, add tall glass vases with your choice of flowers or greenery. Add white painted lanterns for a nautical touch. Finally place some starfish around the lanterns on the sand. Blue colored Glass Starfish Shaped Candy Dishes available at Beaucoup Favors add a lovely touch to the place settings.
Starfish Wedding Cake Topper
This lovely wedding cake depicting the blue waters and white foam of the sea is made perfect with this Starfish Cake Topper and surrounding shells.
This gorgeous cake, on the other hand, is more colorful. Edible Starfish decorations are colored using pastel colors and inserted in skewers to create the topper as well as used to decorate the tiers along with other sea shells.
Starfish Wedding Favors
Just like every other shape, you can find a host of products in the shape of starfishes. The problem with such favors that they do not necessarily have a natural, nautical touch. Bookmarks, coasters, bottle openers, wine stoppers, soaps, candles etc. can be used for starfish themed wedding favors, but what really caught our fancy were these favors that make use of a starfish accent and not just the shape.
You can shop for these favors online at these respective stores. Clockwise from Top Left:
