What are the Benefits of Planning a Beach Wedding?

By Rachael

If you’re on the fence about whether or not to plan a wedding, you should spend some time thinking about the benefits. Here are just a few of the great benefits of having your ceremony on the beach.

Very Little Décor Needed

The great thing about a ceremony on the beach is that it’s already going to be beautiful. With the sand, the glistening water and the natural beauty that is associated with beach weddings, you won’t need to do a lot of décor items. This can save you money that you can spend elsewhere in your wedding budget.

Fantastic Photo Opportunities

Beach weddings make the best photos, and there are a ton of opportunities for great photos. From splashing your feet in the water with your new spouse to writing your names in the sand, the beach provides some beautiful props for photos.

No Capacity Limit

No matter how many people you want to invite to your wedding ceremony, you can feel free to do so. Unlike venue ceremonies or church ceremonies, there is no maximum capacity. If you’re able to have a beach reception, the same goes for that. While you may need to obtain a permit, there is plenty of room to work with on the beach.

If you are working with a tight budget, or you simply feel an attraction to the beach and the ocean, a beach wedding is perfect for you. Spend some time looking at photos of different beach weddings to determine how you’d like to plan it out, and you can create a breathtaking beach wedding.

Unique Beach Wedding Ideas

By Rachael

Beach weddings are absolutely beautiful although they stray from tradition slightly. Brides who love unique ideas will appreciate these fun and unique beach wedding ideas.

Seashell Bouquet

Go for something a little different with a seashell bouquet rather than a floral bouquet. You can find a company that specializes in unique bouquets or make your own. To do it, simply gather some beautiful seashells and use some thick craft wire that holds its shape easily.

Using jewelry pliers, create a small “o” with the end of a piece of 6” wire. Super glue the “o” to the seashell and repeat with several seashells. When finished, you can bunch them together with the wire tails and bundle with tape. Finish by adding a ribbon and adjusting the shells so the wires don’t show.

Beach Barefoot Sandals

Why wear a beautiful pair of heels to the beach when you’re just going to sink into the sand? Besides, who doesn’t want to bury their toes in the sand? These beautiful beach barefoot sandals can be purchased or made, and are great accessories for a beach wedding. They’re typically made from glass or plastic beads of different sizes and colors.

Fun Picture Idea: Handprints in the Sand

The bride and groom create handprints in the sand and then carefully press their wedding rings onto the ring fingers for a charming photo. This is definitely a frame-worthy photo that can even be used as a cover for the “thank you” cards that will be sent out after the wedding. It’s a super cute idea and can be done easily and quickly.

Put your imagination and creativity to work to come up with other unique beach wedding ideas that step outside the boundaries of tradition.
