May is probably one of the simplest months to plan for an Outer Banks wedding. The flowers are blooming, the weather isn’t too hot, and everyone is energized with the anticipation of summer approaching. A beach or garden themed wedding is obvious for this month. However, if you don’t want your special day to be just like everyone else has, then here are some ideas to make your day unforgettable!
Garden Themed Weddings
If you don’t want to get too lavished in details, try embellishing on your existing garden theme. For a truly elegant wedding try a Victorian Garden theme. The color scheme for a Victorian themed wedding is generally warm, but smokey, matted colors. Peach, plum purple, a smokey blue, and coffee browns to tie it all together. This type of wedding is easy to pull off because of its simplicity. Less is more. The other great thing about a Victorian themed wedding is that all of your embellishments can be vintage older pieces which wont break your wallet while they stylize your wedding perfectly.
Beach Weddings
If gardens aren’t your thing than a beach wedding must be your dream. Don’t have just any beach wedding, though! There are tons of ways to spice up your beach wedding including a Hawaiian Luau, an Under the Sea theme, or a Nautical Beach theme. Depending on your budget these weddings can be over the top or secretly implied.
The Nautical Beach
One of the most popular themes for this season is the Nautical Beach theme. There are many creative ways to pull off this wedding with everything from sailboats galore, starfish, Lighthouses, and sand dollar decorations. Your color palate is easy greens, blues, and crisp clean white. This wedding screams prep. Were talking sweaters knotted about the shoulders, short cocktail bridesmaid dresses, simple silver jewelry and no tux for this groom. Our Nautical groom will be sporting a blazer, khakis and a nice striped tie.
