Do You Know How to Plan a Perfect Beach Wedding?
I have been in love with the beach since I was a little girl. I often spend my time sitting on the beach just staring out at the ocean. The ocean seems incredibly serene and powerful to me. It was also my dream to hold my wedding ceremony on the beach. I was determined that I would be having a beach wedding someday from the time I was 10 years old. I still carried that idea with me all the way through my college years. In fact, my mind was already thinking ahead to how I was finally going to have my dream beach wedding, when my fiance slipped a ring on my finger.
However, my fiance wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of a wedding on the beach because the closest beach to our hometown was more than three hours away. Nevertheless I was still determined to have a beach wedding, even if it means limiting the number of guests that would actually attend. Unfortunately, my fiance was still not sold out on my dream wedding after several months of debate on setting a date. He finally gave in when he realized that nothing less than a beach wedding would make me happy.
Although they seem casual, beach-themed weddings require a great deal of planning. The use of exotic flowers of colorful hue, such as lilies or pink gerbera daisies, accent the dcor and coordinate with the neutral color of the sand. Starfish, seashells and sand dollars add an earthy touch, and candles, lanterns, and canopies draped in lightweight fabrics can be used to enhance the effect. Although light blue is the color most though of, bright colors anywhere on the spectrum will go well.
It will be just great if I could to get some feedback too along the way, from anyone else out there who has encountered some of the these trials and hopefully we can together come up with solutions to advise future beach wedding brides in similar situations. The key to success for me I have to say was budgeting upfront and sticking to my guns. Here's what I did, I sent out my beach wedding invitations seven months before the beach wedding day.
She also told me that the breeze at the beach might affect my beach wedding. I didn't realize that the breeze might blow my dress out of place and might also blow the sand around. As a result, I had to adjust my thoughts on buying a dress and how I'd wear my hair to deal with all of the factors that had been brought to my attention. I purchased a dress that was a bit more form fitting and didn't have a long train. I also realized that it would not be a good idea to wear a veil and decorate the chairs with flowers and ribbons. I made sure that everything that was going to take place on the beach very simple and hassle-free.
Makeup and hair will be natural. Hair can be lightly twisted up and pinned with beautiful barrettes or hairpins. A birdcage veil, short and lightweight, or long flowing veil with a dainty tiara will make ideal accents, as well as add that romantic touch. There isn't anything that can compete with a summer wedding in a beach setting for romance, elegance, and serenity.
