To most upbeat couples, a beach wedding is more appealing than a traditional church wedding.
One good thing about a beach wedding is that it brings little concern on the decorations part for it allows nature to cover it all.
However, you still need to decide on some details in planning a beach themed ceremony.
The first thing you need to think about is the venue.
Choose a beautiful seaside location that is also accessible to your guests.
If the location is so exotic that it is hardly accessible, consider providing a special means of transportation to make sure that all your guests can get to your wedding on time.
In addition to the location, one thing you should check is the weather forecast so you will know whether or not to use or provide any means of shelter to protect against the glaring heat of the sun.
Usually, beach wedding ceremonies are recommended to be held early in the morning (around 9 o'clock) and late in the afternoon (around 5:30) to get a cool atmosphere.
Next, you need to decide on your decorations.
Take inspiration from the items that are usually associated with your location.
For instance, you can choose to be inspired by the turquoise toned waters and make it the color of your bridesmaid's dresses as well as your other decorating accents.
You may use ocean colored ribbons in decorating or dressing up your ceremony chairs.
You can also integrate cloth umbrellas to give your venue a dramatic effect.
You can use tropical flowers to decorate the aisle as well as the guest tables or incorporate tropical flower arrangements in your venue.
Use the same motif in choosing the design of your invitations and wedding favors or souvenirs.
Now we come to the point where you need to decide on you and your entourage's attires.
Depending on the motif of your wedding, you may use a monochromatic or uniform tone of colors for the dresses of your bridesmaids.
Men can wear a traditional white on khaki outfit.
You can even have your whole entourage wear sarongs and beach dresses to suit the casual ambiance.
To add elegant accents to your girls, you may have them use flower headpieces.
The footwear ranges from hand beaded or crocheted sandals, slippers or simply go barefoot.
That should bring more fun to your group.
And as for your wedding dress, consider using a simple design, simple enough to make you glow amidst the natural charm of your venue.
Use a light fabric so it can go well with the lightly blowing breeze and give a smooth and flowing effect through your bodice.
Lastly, think about how you want the entire ceremony to go.
You can write your own vows and integrate an intimate sand ceremony where you and your families can participate in your union.
Make sure that you also have prepared all the needed permit and document before your wedding date or even the ceremony even starts.
Other details like catering and transportation of you and your guests must not be forgotten.
Hence, having a beach wedding entails more budget and preparation on the part of the couples.
By being organized, you make sure that everything will go according to your plan.
