Beach Wedding Designs Wedding Koozies and beach weddings are perfectly matched! What better way to make sure your guests have something to remember the occasion by - and enjoy cold drinks on the day itself.
Pictures of stunning beaches, or iconic images that just say 'sun, sea and sand' - like shells, palm trees or starfish - make great designs.
You could also have a photo of the bride and groom to be, either in a formal or quirky pose.
Some great ideas to think about include couples taking pictures of their feet in flip-flops, or just bare, from chest height whilst standing on the sand or surf.
Alternatively write something apt on a beach - like the name of the bride and groom, the date or just a love heart and then stand back to take a photo from a distance.
Formal Weddings While Koozies are not typically included in the potential options for some wedding styles and brides, there are some newer styles (i.
e.
the physical look) available that bridge the gap between perceptions.

In terms of look, there are lots of formal designs out there to choose from, but with lots of brides having colors and styles or themes already running through all of their wedding stationery it is quite popular for manufacturers to be asked to match these styles so some continuity is kept.
