Sandy shoes and salty kisses, soon to be Mr & Mrs!
“If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne.”
Having a beach wedding is an everlasting theme; the sound of waves lapping gently on the ocean, sand beneath your feet and standing side by side wedding your best friend.
It’s as if you having your honeymoon before your wedding – the location is perfect with the serenity as calm as the ocean.
Beach weddings allow your imagination to go wild! From colours to cakes; curtains and carnations, look no further.
Make it a ‘shore’ thing before saying ‘I do’ along the ocean side. It’s time to unleash your inner bridal beach queen. The world is your oyster!
Hand in hand, heart to heart, at the beach your adventure starts!
#1 Wedding Dresses
Choosing your dress without the stress:
Forget the corsets and spandex. There are endless options, from chiffon to soft lace. Beach wedding dresses make you feel and look fabulous, as they are easily wearable and versatile, which means you could actually wear it for occasions after your wedding. Their trains are shortened which makes it hassle free to manoeuvre in sand.
#2 Shoes
Barefoot sandals are the trend for any bride considering a beach wedding. Which means, NO HEELS! Dance the night away without any blisters, sisters.
#3 Venue
Booking a beach wedding is relatively accessible. Depending on the season and availability, most private beaches can accommodate a large number of guests, or a more intimate crowd.
#4 Décor
Simple and minimalist are advantages to having a beach wedding. Miles and miles of linen are all you will need. It looks enchanting and carefree and saves you a fortune.
#5 Beach Bouquet
The perks of having a beach wedding is that it’s a unique idea – as is walking down the aisle holding a gorgeous seashell bouquet. Mix it up with some greens and moss for an earthy look.
#6 “Magic Hour”
Outdoor weddings are simply the best when it comes to photography. Ninety minutes before sunset is what photographers call the “magic hour”. This time is ideal for capturing the right amount of natural light, thereby producing extraordinary and priceless memories. You also have the scenery of the ocean at your disposal to make it epic.
#7 Seating
Seating can be arranged in any way you prefer, instead of the conventional table setting or hall arrangements. Also, you will never run out of positions to seat guests, and you can accommodate for the expanse of your unexpected guest list.
#8 Souvenirs
There is an abundance of different beach wedding souvenir ideas, from seashells to nautical and aquatic themes, so you never have to worry about running out of ideas.
#9 Food
Beach wedding catering can be versatile; light-hearted or sophisticated, the food can match the atmosphere you want to create. From entrees to finger foods, you can compose your own level of comfort.
# 10 Sky Lanterns
At the end of the ceremony you can set off sky lanterns, which is believed to bring good luck. It’s a great spectacle and creates a romantic vibe among all present!
