Casual or Formal

beach-wedding-pictures You can make your beach theme wedding as casual or elegant as you desire. That is the beauty of this theme. The beautiful scenery takes the pressure off of needing a lot of formal decorations.

Yet, I've seen some very lovely beach weddings that were quite formal with their beach wedding attire and decorations.

Affordable.

As mentioned, You don’t have to spend a fortune on decorations or flowers for a wedding on the beach, as the seaside is surrounded in the beauty of nature and is one of the best free wedding backgrounds there is.

It is also more likely you will find some cheap wedding dresses that will be very appropriate for a beach wedding.

You're probably not going to wear high heals on the beach but you can find some beautiful crystal or pearl barefoot sandals. They are practical for a beach wedding, fun to wear and still beautiful.

Romantic.

What could be more romantic than a wedding ceremony at sunset, with the orange sun disappearing behind endless blue waters as you exchange vows with the one you're committing your life to?

Beach weddings are very special and romantic!

Unique and Special.

Your family and friends will most likely remember your day as fondly as you will because of the uniqueness and beauty you choose, that set your wedding apart from the norm.

Remember this:

"You don't need to live near an ocean or lake to host a beach theme wedding either."

You can still incorporate many beach wedding ideas and touches in a personal and stylish way, no matter how far you live from the ocean.

Some challenges to Beach Theme Weddings

Now, let's talk about some challenges to Beach Theme Weddings that are important to remember when planning and organizing your wedding.

Mother Nature

City permits?

"Looky Loo's"

Spoiled Food

The best solution to these problems would be:

Have available food screens for keeping the bugs off your food before being served.
Find a restaurant or banquet hall that faces the beach for your reception.
If you want the reception on the beach, then see if your caterer can bring the food down just in time for the reception. An experienced caterer will know how to pull this off.

If these are not viable options for you, have someone in charge of keeping coolers in the shade stuffed with food items that need to stay chilled.

Here are some other beach wedding ideas that go beyond seashells and simple beach ideas:

Ocean Animals - Incorporate starfish, dolphins, fish etc. into different details throughout your wedding.
Nautical accessories - Consider nautical colors and items that bring in a boating theme or details.
Butterflies or Birds - Who says you can't add favorite birds or butterflies to your beach wedding theme? It is a great addition to a beach wedding to have these details throughout. I particularly love the idea of releasing butterflies just after the vows are exchanged as a symbol of a new beginning.
Tropical island - Instead of the traditional beach items of seashells and nantucket type beach items, you could make the theme more tropical and exotic with bolder colors (think mango, yellows, lime greens...)decorate with a lot of palm trees, bamboo and even exotic Caribbean type birds, coconuts, pineapples,etc. use your imagination.
