The Get-Real Plan for Your Beach Wedding
The most romantic wedding theme is the Beach Wedding, and it’s easy to see why. You have the sunset on the water as a romantic backdrop and you have the sea breeze to put a carefree air on everything. Although the beautiful sunshine could make you buy the idea of a beach themed wedding ASAP, there are a few things you must remember.
1. Wind and sand on eyes and everything else
Wear shades to protect your eyes and ask your hairdresser to do your hair so that it’s “wind-proof”. Your beach wedding should be a vibrant occasion, and not a mess of people running after hair accessories and hats.
2. Location
A resort or a small villa with a quaint garden? It’s romantic to have the ceremony in the water but the reality is that not everyone can pull this off. You need several people and more than a few buoys to have the ceremony in the water. The safest plan is to reserve a garden wedding by the beach inside a resort or a villa property. Although mishaps can still happen, you won’t be spending your time worrying about your guests being swept off by the current.
3. Seaside Wedding Reception.
Besides food, there are two other things you should worry about: sturdy plates and a managed buffet table! People will be standing around talking and socializing with plates on hand. What if a sudden gust of wind carried a paper plate away from a person’s hand to another person’s beautiful sundress? Video recordings of these scenarios will win awards in the American’s Funniest Home Videos television show, but the best thing to do would be to avoid these horrendous scenarios by making sure the food is in its proper place and can be eaten with minimum risk.
4. Wedding Favors
What’s cuter than seashells as favors for a beach wedding? Miniature boats and ships! One of the best themes for a beach wedding is Nautica, and usually, the ceremony is performed on board a ship with the captain presiding. Find memorabilia or wedding favors that include sailboats and miniature ships to share to your guests your love for the ocean and traveling by sea.
