Having a wedding during a sunny day on a beach can really be a charming way to tie the knot. Summer time is mostly popular to outdoor weddings because couples can simply combine the elements of sun, sand and even surf on their big day. However, if you are going to have a summer wedding you will also have to think about the other factors that can also ruin your wedding. The time, weather, and also the temperature should also be considered. Most of the time, beach weddings happen during the early morning or late in the afternoon because the temperature during that time is much cooler.
If your venue will happen in a seaside resort, your wedding reception may have a gazebo ready for use. However, if there is no gazebo available better set an open canopy where you and your guests can take shelter in case the sun is too hot or you will just need shelter in case it rains. The gazebo will also be the main area where you reception activities will happen.
For your food and refreshments, you can serve lobsters, shrimp and fish. You can also serve meat, skewers, chicken and barbeque since these foods go well with a beach affair. For the drinks serve tropical fruit juices and cocktails and then have it with little paper umbrellas for that extra touch. Your wedding cake may have edible seashells and sprinkle the base with sand-like sugar.
Have the party started by hiring a steel drum band and a DJ? You can have your guests’ party with the music by the Beach Boys or have the celebration with hula dancers. You can also encourage a festive affair with the guests doing limbo rock in the sand.
Just do not forget to follow some safety precautions especially if your event will be followed by swimming in the sea. There should always be someone to look after the young guests as they play in the sand. The area should also be clear of sharp objects such as sharp coral or broken glass.
Make sure that your wedding dress and beautiful pearl bridal jewelry are all set for the big day. Your wedding day will all be perfect if you are comfortable with what you are wearing so make sure that everything is just suitable for you. Your whole bridal party should also have suitable bridesmaids dresses and bridesmaids jewelry that is meant for a beach wedding.
