Finding Love on the Beach

"Finding Nemo" was such an incredible film, teaching children and adults lots of life lessons, the #1 being (in my opinion)- family is important so don't forget to say I love you. It's a great message, and worthy of celebrating at your wedding.


For a "Finding Nemo" inspired wedding, you've got to remember the most important thing - when creating the film, the artists behind the movie wanted to show their audiences how incredibly colorful the ocean is. It's not just tan beaches and blue ocean. There's pinks, purples, yellows, deep blues, and orange! So when planning your "Finding Nemo" wedding, don't just do all tan with a splash of orange - celebrate the incredible array of color of the ocean!


Use the colors in your ceremony on the canopy and chairs. Your invitations can gently hint to the theme with a real star fish and colorful ribbon. Give your bridesmaids different colored dresses (not everyone looks good in orange), and give them a nice gentle bouquet of tans and whites, so no matter what color their dress the bouquet won't clash. For the bride, a nice beach dress, the lace reminiscent of the gentle porousness of the reef, and a nice bright orange bouquet tied with white ribbon (Nemo's colors!).


And the reception, keep the tables classy with the ocean theme, touches of color provided by the cool drinks and amazing foods. Decorate the tables with dried coral to really add some flair. For the seating cards, use cute silver turtles (dude, sweet!) that guests can take home. And the cake, oh heck! Just have fun with it with this snazzy "Finding Nemo" cake.


And don't forget- there's more to the ocean than just water. There's more to a "Finding Nemo" wedding than tan and blue, and there's more to your "Finding Nemo" wedding that will continue to surprise and delight your guests!
