Considerations for a Beach Wedding


Be Mindful of Tide Levels


Selecting the ocean as your backdrop is truly enchanting. However, it's crucial to account for weather conditions and plan accordingly. During mid-summer, tides tend to be higher. Thus, when scheduling your event, keep the tide schedule in mind to ensure a seamless celebration.

Avoid High Heels


Opt for flats or sandals on the sand. There are numerous elegant options available that not only ensure comfortable walking but also complement your bridal attire. Prioritize your comfort to fully savor your special day.


Bring Sound Equipment


Beaches can be quite noisy, even if you've reserved a private spot. The constant sound of crashing waves might drown out your heartfelt vows for your guests. Bring speakers and set up a sound system to ensure everyone can hear the meaningful words you've carefully crafted.


Plan for Weather Uncertainties


While you can't control the weather, you can plan for it. Always have a backup plan in place for outdoor ceremonies to navigate any unexpected changes.


Ensure Seclusion


Many beaches can get overcrowded, especially during peak vacation times. Choose a less crowded time for your ceremony to ensure privacy and a more intimate setting.


Offer Light Refreshments


Opt for light snacks and beverages for your guests. Avoid heavy meals as beaches aren't ideal for elaborate dining. Keep refreshing drinks like mint lemonade or ice water available for guests to enjoy while waiting for the ceremony.


Choose the Right Time


Timing is crucial for capturing stunning wedding photos, especially at the beach. Aim to conclude your ceremony about 45 minutes to an hour before sunset to take advantage of the golden hour lighting for breathtaking photos.
