Having a wedding on the beach can really be a charming event especially during the summer when the season just says outdoor weddings. If you are also going to have a wedding this summer, then including the elements such as the sun and sand can bring great joy to your wedding day. You would also have to consider other factors when it comes to a summer wedding since the beach will also require a little bit more of your talent in preparations and actors such as the time, weather, temperature and also other safety precautions are also needed.
Consider the setting. If you are going to have a seaside resort that usually accommodates wedding receptions, chances are that they have a gazebo that you can use. If they do not have one then you can set up a canopy so that your guests have somewhere that they can seat. This can also be your own shelter when you get tired of the hot sun or if you need shelter in case it rains. This will also be the main place where the reception activities will happen. If the gazebo area is not large enough to accommodate the tables and chairs, you can have the rest of the tables around the canopy, and then place large white beach umbrellas over each table.
For the decorations, you can use the color white as the primary color as it can also contrast the surrounding skies, sand, and sea. Use a white canopy and then combine this with other fabrics such as blue, green or turquoise. You can also add colorful ribbons, tropical flower, seashells, and corals. You can also set up tall poles by the beach and hang colorful cloths in each pole to make a festive mood. You can also decorate the chairs and tables with bows and ribbons with your theme hues and use a wedding centerpiece that also matches the theme.
When it comes to your wedding dress and jewelry use a wedding dress that will go well with the surrounding. The great side about beach weddings is that you can easily choose a beach wedding dress that is not that expensive. you can even purchase an off the rack wedding dress or a discounted one and you will still look fabulous. When it comes to your jewelry, you can wear a beach wedding jewelry set that has a coral necklace, pearl necklace or star or coral pendant.
