Beaches, sands and the sea are all favorites for holiday destinations. They are also highly sought-after as wedding locations. Beach weddings are increasingly in demand. After all, there are no better witnesses to your “happy ever after” than Nature in all its timeless glory and grandeur.
The ideal venue
You have the option of choosing from either a beach resort or a local hotspot. You can leave most arrangements to the staff when you book a resort. Privately-owned beaches are also cleaner, and they’re private. A public tourist spot may have a special meaning to you. A wedding planner can help you organize the details, from accommodation to transportation to venue, ceremony and service arrangements.
Maximize Nature
Allow nature to decorate the space; leave the man-made decorations at home. Your venue should be located against the backdrop of the sparkling blue sea, palm trees, or the golden sand. Most beach weddings are evening events. So find the perfect spot with a stunning sunset to create the most romantic backdrop. Keep it simple. You can add a touch of beach to the decor. Choose a gazebo over a regular mandap. A simple arch with flowing fabric or flowers draped over it will look stunning. The theme can be further enhanced by starfish or shell bling hanging from chairs. You can’t use candles or diyas, so you should opt for string lights or fairy lights. For different parts of the ceremony, you can choose to have both indoor and outdoorlocations – so everyone can enjoy the venue as well as the ceremony.
The destination
You can experiment if you want to. Think beachy instead of flashing red sherwanis, shining sherwanis, and glittering gold! You can show off your style with flowing sundresses and gowns made from real flowers and leis. For a beach wedding, white satin, georgette, or chiffon, saris for bride and groom can be worn. Crisp linen for the groom is also a good choice. To complete the look, the bride can wear embellished flip-flops and add shell, starfish, or dolphin themed jewelry. To match the surroundings, you can also create a dress code. This could include pastels or shades of aquamarine, turquoise, aquamarine or peach. You will have amazing photos!
Give an innovative touch
Start with your wedding invitation and add innovation to the whole wedding. Invites can feature “walking on a beach” or “writing on the sand” imagery. You can set up a stall at the venue that allows your guests to pick up sunglasses in order to avoid the sun. This is a fun and quirky idea that everyone will love. To add to the atmosphere, decorate the tables with shells or other beach knickknacks. Local artisans can create sand paintings and sand artifacts for your guests as a return gift.
