5 Stunning Ways to Set Your Beach Wedding Table

Dining al fresco in the sand is no reason to limit your wedding tabletop options! These event planners picked pretty dishware, natural centerpieces, and bright flowers to perfectly accessorize the beautiful background of the sea. While we're all for casual celebrations with durable plates and comfort food, taking elegant dishware outside adds an element of surprise and completeness to an outdoor beach wedding. Here are five gorgeous place settings we're loving right now.

Driftwood makes an earthy centerpiece, while dahlias, Juliet garden roses, coral spray roses, succulents, billy balls, pincushion proteas, dusty miller and reindeer moss bring in light pops of color. The wedding favors - bottles of homemade limoncello - were left on the tables for guests to take home.

Bright colors make a bold statement against a coastal backdrop, and are sure to stand out in photos. We love the coordination with the patterned dance floor.

So casual, yet so elegant. Why not sip from pretty glassware while sitting on a pillow in the sand?
