Most couples stay away from beach weddings because they are expensive but if you have a small gathering, there is nothing more fun than a wedding at the beach. It is romantic and luxurious, complete with sun and sand! You can easily have a budget wedding but you must procure all the beach wedding supplies yourself.
Some of things you need to think about are wedding invitations, centerpieces, a decorating theme and also the food. First, the invitations – get something that is in blue or has shell designs on the cover. These are easily available at most wedding supply stores.
The centerpieces are where you can get really creative. Here are some interesting centerpiece ideas:
- Message in a bottle centerpieces
- Shells and sand centerpieces: put some sand on each table, and place shells in the form of a heart
- Starfishes
- Votive candles for a sunset wedding.
The colors of a beach wedding should be pristine white, whether it is centerpieces, the cake or your dress. Remember to wear a short dress. Sadly, you will not have the option of wearing wedding shoes – it’s best to do this barefoot. Some stores offer foot jewelry that is shaped like an anklet; you can choose either rhinestone for a formal look or shells and starfish charms for a casual one.
The food should be casual and relaxed – organize grills and open fire cooking. The sand can double as your dance floor.
After the wedding ceremony is over, make sure your guests have a lot of fun. You can organize games like beach volleyball or you can come up with your own creative ideas. Seek help through wedding forums where other couples can share their ideas with you, helping you have a unique wedding. Or to escape the hassles of it all, just hire a wedding planner!
