Whether you are a man or female, you may have thought of how nice it would be to have a beach wedding. You may imagine the natural backdrop of the ocean and the beautiful natural scenery all around. You might even imagine how carefree such a wedding would be. When planning a wedding outdoors, you can’t predict the weather and you can’t avoid spectators. Have you considered how you would dress for a beach wedding or what type of beach wedding venues are available to you during your special day? Here are some things for you to consider before you embark on such an undertaking. This type of wedding can be a truly unforgettable affair, with proper forethought and planning.
Selecting Where to Exchange Your Vows
Deciding on which beach you will exchange your vows on is no small task. There are hundreds of options. Have you visited an island that has some significance to you and your fiancé? Did you attend someone else’s wedding held on a beach and fell in love with the idea? If so, did you find their location dreamy? If so, these are both good places to consider. Research beach wedding venues wherever you wish to get married, in case you cannot have your wedding directly on the beach. Selecting a venue that overlooks the ocean is a great alternative, in case of inclement weather. If you are set on having your wedding directly on the beach, make sure you have a back-up plan just in case the weather takes a turn.
How to Dress for the Occasion
Women will want to avoid a big bulky dress. Instead opt for a more carefree, flowing dress. It would not look odd or be inappropriate for both the bride and the groom to walk down the aisle bare foot. Since the sand on the beach can get pretty hot, select an appropriate runner to walk down the aisle on. Brides should add lovely flowers to their hair or some other type of accessory instead of a traditional veil. A veil could easily be blown away. Grooms should wear something lightweight; a tuxedo wouldn’t be a good option when marrying beachside.
Be a Thoughtful Host
When hosting an outdoor wedding, you should make sure that your guests are comfortable. When sending out invitations, note some suggested ways to dress for the occasion. Also, make sure you have water for your guests and if possible, try to have some type of shade for your guests to sit under. This way everyone is sure to enjoy your special wedding day.
