Why on earth would you want to have a wedding on the beach, of all places? Perhaps you’ve dreamed of it since you were a little girl. Maybe your vacation was spent in Hawaii or the Bahamas, and you decided to yourself, “I want my wedding THERE!!!!” Or maybe you simply like the location. This article will point out a few important things to remember as you plan so you can make your dream wedding work.
First of all, think about your guests’ attire. Yes, a nighttime beach wedding with guests in black tie would be beautiful, but 1) beach weddings tend to get colder the later it gets, and 2)ultra formal clothing might be a no no here, since there will be a lot of elements that could stain or damage their outfits-sticks, sharp thorns, seaweed, and so on. Tell your guests to dress semi formally, and to bring layers. Better to have them comfortable than unhappy.
Next, think about your attire. A heavy, embroidered dress would be beautiful and elegantin a church setting. Remember, you’re on the beach, and nothing is worse than ruining a potential heirloom than by getting sand and seawater in it. Opt for something a little more practical, like a shorter train or lighter material.
