Destination weddings, sea, sun and sand are a must!! Beach weddings need to be carefully planned, according to location, logistics and season. There is nothing worse than planning a wedding and not researching the weather, no point in a destination beach wedding, in the middle of winter. No one wants coats and boots on a beach. So this step-by-step blog post will guide you how to guarantee that a beach wedding is the perfect aisle to say “I Do”.
The Ceremony
What kind of beach ceremony illustrates you both as a couple the most? Civil, Symbolic, intimate and elegant, large and loud or, Boho and chic? Create the ideal day that symbolizes everything you stand for. All destination beach weddings come with their own set of risks, the wind being a main factor, yet any wedding planner will ensure your set up be windproof and hassle free. Confirm that all guests are aware the ceremony will be taking place on the sand, so ladies can escape the heel sand altercations. If you want a beach ceremony in the afternoon, the best option will be to have shaded area for guests; also keep the wedding attire classy, light and informal.
The Setting
Whichever destination you choose, a beach wedding will always be picturesque for those perfect photos to look back on, so time it right for those amazing action shots. Don’t overcomplicate the setting or surrounding of the ceremony, as too much will ruin the sea-view background. Either opt for a simple elegant white layout with touches of bright colours to emphasise the surrounding, or keep it natural and classic with pastel and green tones.
Private or Public?
Do you want to share your day, not just with your bridal party, but holidaymakers and locals? If you’re laid back enough and do not mind, then a public beach will be a flawless location for your ceremony. However if you wish to be on a secluded beach for wedding guests only, then a private beach is most definitely the right the approach for an intimate ceremony.
So, for a soft sand celebration choose your beach ceremony wisely, public or private share your vows with everyone or no one, but a scenic ocean view!!
