Every bride and groom planning a beach wedding envision a bright sunny day - unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate.Don't rely on good weather, while every beach wedding should be in sunshine, unfortunately it doesn't always work that way. Have a back up plan in case of bad weather, whether it's an alternate indoor location or an extra tent to retreat into. Be sure to inform wedding guests of the alternate location.
Candles, torches and battery powered twinkle lights are all beach friendly. Depending on the time of day and weather extra lighting may not be necessary. Candles are a practical choice provided they are in a glass container to block the wind.
Food and table arrangements for a beach wedding
In keeping with a beach theme - serve easy to eat foods - try to avoid foods that will need a knifes and fork. Why not cook meat and vegetables on individual skewers and a offer side dishes that are easy to pick up and go - stuffed mushrooms, raw vegetables, and salads.
If your wedding cake will be on display, wrap it up in clear cellophane - looks beautiful and keeps the sand and bugs off.
Decoration ideas for a beach wedding
Extend the beach theme to your menu and table arrangements. Serving food inside seashells is a nice beachy touch and very practical too - they won't break! Use place cards that won't blow away - names printed on shells with a marker, keep the theme going.
Centerpieces made from drift wood, local flowers, even bowls with plastic goldfish are inexpensive and easy to transport. Sand castles are a natural choice for a seaside wedding.
Plan on having a microphone for the ceremony and announcements. Beaches can be very noisy places.
Happy Planning to you!
