Will you be saying your "I dos" on a beach this summer or for a winter destination wedding? Make sure that you do not overlook any of the important details which are unique to beach weddings. Get prepared with this beach wedding planning checklist.
With the bright sun and humid air, the beach can tend to be a sweaty place. To be certain that your bridal glow comes from your internal joy, not a sheen of perspiration, shop for the right kind of makeup. Light oil-free products will help to give you flawless skin and will withstand a hot day. Avoid heavy foundation that will melt in the heat. You should also choose sheer foundation with sunscreen to avoid getting burned. And as every bride knows, water-proof mascara is a must! Work with your hairstylist to select anti-frizz products that will keep your hair looking neat no matter the weather.
It is inevitable that some of your wedding guests will show up wearing impractical high heeled shoes to your wedding on the sand. This is why it is a great idea for the hosts of a beach wedding to put out a basket of flip flops and a shoe check station. Your guests will definitely feel more relaxed when they are not struggling to walk over the sand. Providing flip flops is such an easy thing to do, and it can really help to get your guests into the laid-back beachy frame of mind. Set out bottles of water next to the shoe check station so that your guests will have a cool drink to sip as they await the start of the marriage ceremony.
The bridal party will also want to have the right beachy spirit for the wedding. You can help this along with tropical touches, such as beach theme bridesmaid jewelry for your attendants. Silver starfish pendants or crystal seashells are popular beach theme bridesmaid jewelry gifts. Your attendants will like them, because they can wear the jewelry again summer after summer. For the guys in the wedding, it would be fun to choose ties with a beach motif. Look at places like Vineyard Vines or Lilly Pulitzer for ties decorated with sailboats, sea creatures, or seaplanes.
Another thing to keep in mind for your beach wedding is shade. Although the sun is one of the best things about the beach, it can get to be too much of a good thing. It is not only your wedding guests that may need a shady spot to cool off; your food and cake will fare better if not placed in direct sunlight. Take advantage of naturally shady spots created by palm trees or boardwalks. Many resorts have gazebos or awnings under which you can set up the food and wedding cake displays. As for your guests, you can set up a tent if there is not another shady spot available.
Beyond these special things, getting ready for a beach wedding is much like any other. You'll need your wedding attire, flowers, food, music, and the like. Remember to pack your swimsuit for your honeymoon, and you'll be all set for a fabulous wedding on the beach!
