Planning your beach wedding is great fun! One of the most fun parts is to search for and gather your beach wedding accessories.

The term ‘gather’ may not seem appropriate when referring to preparations to make your special day perfect, but in this case, that may be exactly what you are doing! Imagine spending a romantic day with your fiancé walking the beach searching for the best beach wedding accessories that nature has to offer.

1. Go to your local dollar store, or inexpensive craft store, and buy some small clear bottles, either with a screw-on lid or a

cork stopper, and some sheets of plastic paper. Fill the bottles nearly full with water. Write your names and the wedding date on squares of the plastic with a water-proof felt pen, roll it up, and put it in the bottle – voila! You have ‘message in a bottle’ wedding favors to give your guests. (And if you’d rather not use water, you can put confetti or shredded mylar foil in, instead).
