A bride never imagines her perfect day as a lack luster affair devoid of any personal flair or meaningful glimpses of the couple's taste and personality. What could be more fabulous than having a wedding at the beach.

Here are some ways to incorporate your own personality into your ceremony and reception to create a wedding that is just for you.

Take the time to write down the things you love most about the beach. Consider your values. What makes your relationship special for the two of you?

After a while, you may notice a pattern to your notes that you can expand on for a strong beginning. Perhaps you will find something you both share such as the place you met, a favorite sports team, activity, hobby, color, vacation, or even a close encounter before you ever met that can serve as a starting place for your plans.

The drink you shared on your first date or meeting could have the inspiration behind drinks served at your reception. Maybe he bought you a bouquet of flowers that were especially meaningful, and you could honor that with a floral themed wedding or matching bouquets for your wedding party.

You could also look at your family histories for inspiration. Perhaps one of you has a particular culture or routine that you wish to include in your wedding.

Let your personalities flow through the plans you make. Keep in mind things you are both passionate about and bring you closer as a couple.

This is your day, feel free to use something you consider silly. The small things are usually what make a wedding most memorable and give your guests a chance to get to know you better in the process. They will look fondly on your wedding as a fun memory rather than a boring affair they felt obliged to attend.

Are you at a loss for inspiration? These tips will help you get started.

Table Decor

Be creative and resist using square table numbers or ordinary place cards for your guests. Consider something unsual like a beach chair place card holders. Shapes and names are only two of the hundreds of options available. If you enjoy the ocean surf or love to fish, you could use marine life for inspiration or even the names of popular beaches. You could turn to your alma mater for ideas with popular hangouts, dorm names, mascots, or school colors to help you celebrate. Perhaps you both love a particular sport or team. Use team names or even player names to separate your tables.

Creating a Dramatic Exit

Choose a meaningful song to help make your exit memorable. You could make your getaway unique in a horse-drawn carriage, an unusual car, or even something more extreme like a cigarette boat.

Incorporating Monograms

Brides and grooms are turning more often towards custom monograms or logos for their wedding. Whether it is informal or elaborate, a graphic designer can help you customize a look and theme to carry through the ceremony and reception. You could attach a specially designed wall stencil near the dance floor, behind the cake, or behind the head table at your reception. Make sure your monogram is easily seen and can be phased easily. If you are hiring a DJ, ask if they have packages that let you project your initials or a particular image onto the wall or dance floor for an image that is sure to stand out.

Whatever you do if you have a Fabulous Beach Wedding it will be one that your guest will not soon forget.
