In love with beach weddings, we are starting a series of articles dedicated to the best beach wedding accents.
Having an accent in the wedding theme will ensure stylish presentation of both – the wedding venue décor, as well as the wedding stationery. And not only that! The chosen accent can successfully be incorporated in bridal accessories, jewelry and become an exquisite focal point of the bridal bouquet, too.
Tip: The chosen accent can be within the general wedding theme color palette or, on the contrary, be in a contrasting color, standing out like a precious gem.
Today in the spotlight is the starfish.
The starfish is probably one of the most beautiful, mysterious and captivating the imagination gifts of the sea. There’s something extremely delicate and elegant in its symmetry and colors, which makes this small item a perfect choice for a beach wedding theme accent.
Here are a few ideas of where and how you can use a starfish wedding accent.
1. In the wedding décor
- Feature natural starfish of various sizes and types in the wedding table centerpiece composition, in combination with pieces of fish net, rope, little tea light candles, green palm leaves and flowers, to set the perfect romantic mood.
- Use large starfish “knobs” to hold the wedding aisle decorative ribbons of airy tulle, as well as other similar elements such as ribbons or raffia braids, decorating the beach wedding ceremony arch, canopies, chairs, etc.
- Tie a piece of thin twine string around the table napkins and fasten it with a “knob” of a small starfish.
- Have your wedding toasting flutes adorned with a couple of delicate small starfish on a background of crystal glass and tiny blue and white pearls.

2. On wedding stationery
- Have a starfish as a decorative accent on your wedding invitations. It can be either printed, applied (glued) upon the paper, or used as a ‘knob’ holding the invitation decorative wrapping.
- Have the same accent / decoration on all the items of the wedding stationery suite – save the dates, ceremony programs, place cards, table numbers, dinner menus, thank you cards, etc.

6. In the bridal bouquet
- Adding a starfish accent presents a fabulous opportunity to create a most original and unique bridal bouquet!
- A starfish decorative element can be added to a “traditional” flower bouquet, or into a bouquet composition made of artificial silk flowers.
