Choosing Formal Attire

Many people tend to dress less formal at beach weddings . Its best to wear lighter fabrics so that you are comfortable at your wedding and keep it short enough so it doesn’t drag in the sand.

Choosing the Location

You want to make sure you look into legal considerations such as permits and restrictions. Make sure you find out how much parking is available and also keep in mind the number of guests you have invited. You want to make sure your location is secure and safe as well.

You’ll want to decide if your going to tie the knot at a public beach or private. Private may be more expensive, so your going to have to look at your budget and go from there.

Time of Day

Saying your vows at sunset may create the most romantic atmosphere for the wedding albums. You’ll have to keep updates on the weather so that you prepare yourself incase something changes.

Comfort level

You’ll have to set up chairs for your guests so they don’t have to stand in the sand. Make sure there are accessible bathrooms nearby as well. And keep the ceremony a fair distance away from the water incase of the tide. Incase of unexpected weather you’ll also want to have a tent set up.

When my wife and I got married, we decided that we wanted to have a large wedding, not so much for the wedding itself, but for the reception afterward. We wanted to throw an unforgettable party after our wedding and make sure that everyone we loved would have a great time. However planning a wedding reception is not very easy, and also not very cheap. We put our heads together to make it special, but still keep it on a budget.

We decided we would have our reception in one of the party rooms at a local hotel. This particular hotel had a great wedding reception package that allowed for you to have a certain number of people for one price. The price included decorations, cups, napkins, a dance floor, and all of the tables and chairs to fill the room. You might think that some of these things would be standard, but you will be surprised to find out that things like napkins and cups are usually charged separately from the rest of a package. Then we decided to get two kegs, some champagne punch, and some finger foods for the guests to munch on.

Now that all of the plans for the wedding reception had been set, we needed to decide on what other kinds of decorations we wanted. My wife and I created centerpieces for all of the tables out of fish bowls, river rocks, candles, and a streamer. We put some river rocks in the fish bowl, set the candle in the middle of the fish bowl, and then wrapped the streamer around the bottom of the fish bowl. Another common thing for a wedding reception is to have small gifts for all of the guests. Both my wife and I have quite a few friends that drink beer, so we decided to get everyone koozies with our names and wedding date on them, so that everyone could remember that night. We got pink for all of the women, and camouflage for all of the men. When the wedding reception finally arrived we had a blast, and everyone thought that the koozies were the best gift that they had ever received at a wedding reception.
