We put some of our favorite beach wedding decor ideas together and they include lots of decor inspiration for the DIY bride and groom.

At this Montauk, NY, wedding, garlands with clustered marigolds create a pretty ceremony backdrop, while tall leafy grasses in glass vases evoke the grass often found in dunes.
1b. Thick rope tied to vases adds a nautical element to this ceremony's decor.
Don't forget about the groom and the groomsmen. Leave it to Martha to find these two genius ideas for a beach wedding boutonniere: a cool Center Cut Fox Shell, and a starfish with a bit of grass.

Beach Wedding Centerpieces We love a non-floral wedding centerpiece. Our Trapez Vases are part of this beach wedding tablescape with seashell terrarium centerpieces from Martha Stewart Weddings: "For an on-theme display, curate still lives of shells and coral on sand placed inside glass fishbowls and vases."

Add other tropical and nautical decor elements to your beach wedding tablescapes like this raffia palm tree and coordinating raffia place mats. Instead of flowers, fill raffia baskets with local or tropical fruits.

Have your wedding guests find their way to their seats with wedding escort cards displayed on a bed of white mixed seashells; gilded stones, coral, and capiz shells add to this escort card table. Or, create a clever seating-card-in-a-bottle with sand in a glass bowl. (both from Martha Stewart Weddings)
