Beach wedding is one of the most romantic types of wedding ceremony. This type of wedding offers a unique way of celebrating the wedding ceremony with families, relatives and friends. Aside from that, beach wedding does not need to be very expensive. Couples can actually have a beach wedding on a dime with strategic planning. Here are some tips on how to have an affordable beach wedding.
Select the location wisely.
Look for the most beautiful beach resort in your locality or nearest to your place. The farther the beach is from your place, the more money you will be spending for travel expenses and accommodation in case it will take several hours to travel. Thus, consider signing up for local beaches and resorts.
Also, in choosing the beach location, consider the amenities and services offered at the hotel or the resort. The wedding package should fit your budget. And, it should satisfy your wedding fantasies.
Consider the number of guests attending the ceremony and reception.
Get a complete list of the invited guests attending your wedding ceremony and reception. The number of guests determines the amount of money you will be spending for the food, accommodation, and for other expenses. Not all invited guests will be attending your wedding ceremony, but at least you have a clear idea as to how many individuals will be attending your wedding ceremony and reception.
Go for simple and casual wedding dresses and outfits.
Beach wedding does not need to be very formal. Long dresses are not suitable for beach weddings because they will be sweeping the sand on the shore. A casual short dress is more suitable for the bride and for the bridesmaid. For the groom and the groomsmen, a not-so-formal attire may do as well in order to suit the light and playful dress of the ladies.
Prepare foods, drinks, and decorations wisely.
You may ask the resort the most delicious yet economic food suitable for wedding receptions. The resort may be able to suggest some ideas to you as well. Bear in mind that beach locations are somewhat windy so you might place the food in a covered area to prevent them from being blown away or from being splashed with sand. Cold drinks are suitable as well for beach wedding receptions.
With regards to the decorations, you do not have to spend much on this because the natural beauty of the beach is just enough to make the location attractive and romantic.
