Beach Weddings

Wedding Tips

• Last Minute Weddings are a possibility but avoid

disappointment and book well in advance

• When you arrive at your hotel or resort take a few

minutes to check out the ceremony location so that
 

you are familiar with it

• If it looks like rain at sunset, ask if you can do the wedding earlier in the day

or perhaps the next day if you do not want to do it at your hotel

• Chairs and sand often do not mix well.  They sink.  If you have elderly or

incapacitated members, you (or host) can always bring a few lawn chairs. 

Guests usually stand in a semi circle around the couple as the ceremony

itself is usually only fifteen to twenty minutes in length

• Active Ushers / Bridesmaids and Children coming?  Keep them

busy and having fun building a sand castle walk way aisle to your ceremony spot

• If you have ushers, have guests meet at a designated spot and let ushers lead them to the ceremony location
  
   

•  Instead of giving mothers a flower, consider purchasing a beautiful sea shell
  
  and write in gold ink the day of your wedding in it and your names as a treasured keepsake
  
   

• Tents are great in a garden but on the beach at sunset they can block

the view and tend to ruin your photographs - If you decide you want one try a party rental store

• Unity Candles work well inside or even in a gazebo but on the beach,  the wind

plays havoc with them.  Choose a rose ceremony instead

• A guitarist, chello and flute, work well at a beach...even a boombox.

Remember there is no electricity.

• If having a cake and champagne ceremony, take most of your formal photos

prior to the ceremony and during it.  You will not want your beautiful

cake melting in the heat.  If this doesn't work, take your cake and champagne

back to your accommodations and have it there.

• Ask if the beach your are suggesting has sand flies or no see ums
  
   

•   Encourage guests to dress casually and comfortably.  This is

especially so when it comes to foot wear (if any) on the beach.  For

photos you may want everyone to dress in similar but two colors, for example,
 

everyone in tan and white or denim blue and white.  It makes it easier
 

for guests and lots of fun
