Sea Themed Wedding Menu

 

 

 

A sea-themed wedding offers many fantastic things to do. From the seashell bouquets to the starfish décor and the exiting reception on a boat, the number of things you can do for a sea-themed wedding are virtually unlimited. You just need to be a little creative. The best thing is that there are so many resources you can use to get more ideas both on decorations and for your wedding menu.

Decorations

There is so much fun to have when it comes to the decoration of a sea-themed wedding. You can steer from the norm by skipping the flowers and opting for the seashell bouquet. Alternatively, you can attach mini starfish to the bouquets or have a bouquet made of coral and seaweed. For the invitation card, you can consider tying a starfish with a raffia ribbon on the card. The best thing about this wedding is that you will only be limited by your imagination. There is so much that you can do including going barefoot and keeping the kids busy with sand castles and buckets that are filled with toys.

The Menu

The real fun starts with the menu. The selection of seafood is huge. You just need to find a good caterer to ensure everything is prepared and served properly.

Wedding Cake

The cake must always be at the top of your list. A good idea you can consider using is that of having the cake decorated with starfish and seashells. You can have as many different colors as you want. At the top of the cake, you can have a mermaid castle.

Fresh Oysters on Ice

Oysters are a great addition to your menu. To spice them up, have them placed on ice. The oysters should be on a half shell.

Seared Tuna Bites

How about keeping your guests munching on seared tuna bites? This seafood is not only delicious but also looks good. The crostini that is topped with small pieces of tuna will make great crunchy meets chewy hors d’oeuvre.

Lobster Buffet

Your menu for the day will be incomplete if you don’t serve lobsters. These are a favorite for many people. These can be presented as a buffet. The lobster buffet will be a great gift of luxury.

Salmon Rolls

Salmon rolls will be a great addition to your menu. A good chef will take on surf and turf to include a delicious combo of smoked salmon as well as prosciutto rolled. These are served on an elegant tray.

Bite-size Shrimp and Grits

These items will add a bit of the southern charm to the wedding menu. You can do this by offering a spoonful of shrimp.
