When one thinks of a beach wedding, the first thing that comes to mind is pristine scenery with blue skies and crystal clear waters in the most natural form. Deep blue skies, mesmerizing shades of the sea, soft supple sand, and a setting that captures the essence of a truly magical wedding is what can truly define a quintessential beach wedding.
LOCATION
When it comes to having the perfect beach wedding, opt for a more private, quieter location that’s against the wind direction. As it is advised that in a private setting opposed to the ghastly wind and crowds the ceremony can be carried on in a much more calmer and peaceful manner, without any natural obstructions and curious onlookers.
COLOR PALETTE
It’s the color palette that defines the décor and theme of the wedding. Ideal colors for a beach wedding would be vibrant shades of blue or soft pastel colors. Choose colors that are a contrast to the sand rather than blending in with it.
DÉCOR AND FLOWERS
From seashell bouquets to starfish décor, there are so many incredible ideas that work well in this heavenly setting. Keep the décor to a minimal instead of going overboard with it highlighting the natural beauty of the ocean. Be sure to weigh the decorations down with shells, pebbles or anything with weight to ensure it’s not disrupted by the wind before the wedding ceremony is over. Also keep in mind that the sand gets hot, consider flooring or have the aisle in fabric so you and your guests don’t get uncomfortable during the nuptials ceremony.
BRIDAL ENSEMBLE
Your dream wedding is what replicates your personality and for that matter a wedding dress brings out your imagination into reality. For every bride hunting for their perfect wedding dress is a mission and they put in special efforts while choosing the right gown. When it comes to beach weddings, one must go simple and ditch out the big heavy gowns, for something elegant and light, the obvious reason being the wind and sand that make it extremely difficult to manage something bulky. Choose a light weight fabric that falls well and flows easily in the ocean breeze giving u a soft and pretty look as well as one which matches up to your wedding jewelry. Avoid a long trail or lace trims because it would hinder your walk for the sand is more than likely to get stuck on the lace and is completely unadvisable for a sandy beach. Think twice before choosing a long veil as it could prove to be a nightmare for you with the sea breeze, ditch the veil if you must and accessorize your hair with a pretty flower or a diamond studded headband. On the other hand, sand and heels don’t really go well together, brides should opt to wear flat sandals, ballet flats or any kind of shoes as pretty alternatives that won’t sink into the sand.
