Beach
wedding
Beach
weddings are a fabulous idea for marrying
some where like the Caribbean. Here is a guide
for the best beach wedding ever.
Location
If it's possible try and book a private beach
then you can have your wedding ceremony, and
reception all day and night and just party.
If you can't hire a private beach or there
won't be enough guests attending most places
will allow you to have a beach party. Then
if you haven't got enough guests then you
could let others join in and get to meet new
friends all in one.
Invites
Send the invites in old bottles for that real
beach feel. Or for an easier and less expensive
way use stationary with pebble or sand designs.
Decor
Make Three heart designs in the sand using
shells, pebbles or drift wood. One for you
and the Groom, one for the priest etc. And
one for the guests. Write your vows in the
sand for all to see.
Flowers
Wear Hawaiian style lei flowers in stead of
bouquets. Get a florist at your wedding destination
to put together bouquets with shells attached
to them. Or instead of flowers you could carry
a shell encrusted candle.
Brides
Attire
Wear a grass skirt with a bikini and a
Hawaiian garland. You could go with a floral
dress or a sarong and bikini. Wear a shell
necklace and earrings. Go bare foot. Your
bridesmaids could dress the same.
Grooms
Attire
Floral shirt and Bermuda shorts with a
Hawaiian garland round his neck. Or he could
do a David Beckham and wear a sarong and vest
top. Bare foot or sandals.
Catering
For the cake have a sea theme one made. Try
white and milk chocolate shell decorations.
If you are having your wedding in the UK you
could make it yourself by buying a plain sponge
cake (or a few in different sizes depending
if you want tier cake). Make your own shells
with chocolate or buy some candy ones. Have
a sea food spread. Prawn cocktail, Lobster.
A lot of caterers (especially abroad) will
be able to make exotic sea food dishes.
Favours
Make everyone a goodie bag containing sunglasses,
flip-flops or you could make or buy little
shell decorations.
Reception
If you can hire a private beach (that is if
you have got enough guests to attend) you
can party all day and night with out having
to leave. And because it is hot you won't
need to change your clothes, unless you a
wearing a wedding dress. Even if you can't
hire a beach there are always beach party's
on a night time (depending on the time you
go).
