Depending on the couple getting married, they may choose to organize either a garden or beach wedding. A newly-established trend pushes away future newlyweds from the traditional wedding scene – a church ceremony, followed by a dinner at a restaurant or another rented closed location. Couples nowadays have taken a liking to natural scenes, such as a garden or a beach, where everything from the setting to the wedding video will certainly turn out spectacular.
The Difference between Beach and Garden Weddings
For the most part, the difference between the two settings is imposed by the personality of the couple getting married. Usually, people who tend to go for lavish, high-end ventures will go for the garden wedding. At the opposite side, couples who are more free-spirited and not so much worried about a certain up-class image might want to look at beach weddings.
But the most pertinent of differences comes concerning costs for these two options. In most cases, gardens are not available for the grooms, so they’ll have to rent out a public or a private property, drastically increasing costs which usually match those of an enclosed space. Beach weddings, however, are free when it comes to using the place for the party – the only worry you’ll have is to make sure that guests care for the environment and do not litter during the event.
A Wedding Filmmaker’s Dream
Both locations, however, are great as far as wedding videos and wedding photos go. A wedding filmmaker can take advantage of natural light or spectacular scenes, both at the beach and in a superb garden. Natural settings offer a lot of diversity in terms of scenes that can be captured without any pre-organized or €directed’ settings.
A Little Bit about Food
Last, but not least, you do have to take into consideration the catering costs for a wedding. Along with the money you’ll need to pay for the venue, the food is the second most expensive part of organizing a wedding. Again, the garden setting will top the bill when it comes to catering services. When renting out a property, you may not have the option of going for a barbeque due to restrictions in that sense. But at a beach, you can easily set up a grill and barbeque and feed your guests the usual food you’d find at a backyard party – hamburgers, stakes and even baked potatoes.
So, in the end, if you want to save up on some money, you can go for the beach wedding setting. However, if you want something more lavish, more up-class, then the garden wedding is the way to go. But with either option, you can rest assured knowing that your guests will appreciate the different approach and you’ll be able to tell that from the wedding video you’ll get to watch and watch again for years to come.
