There was a time when dreamy beach weddings were only something you would see in romantic movies.

It is true that beach weddings are nothing close to your regular indoor weddings. That being said, this very special wedding also needs some special prepping up.

If you are planning to have a dreamy beach wedding for yourself, by all means, do so. However, remember that unlike indoor weddings, you and your guests will be exposed to the mother nature and beach is all about beach sand, water, sea breeze, and open skies. The dynamics of a beach wedding calls for some special arrangements both in terms of your own look and for the comfort of your guests. These tips will help you plan and prep for your perfect beach wedding.

Your Dress

Everything else is secondary about a wedding relative to the bride’s dress. A beautiful bridal gown is something that every bride wishes for. When choosing your bridal dress, remember that beach wedding dresses are different from your regular gowns. You will be exposed to mother nature with lots of wind and sand. Moreover, beaches can humid at times. Avoid dresses that are very heavily embellished or have long trails. Stick to gowns that end at heels. Light fabrics such as chiffons and laced gowns work best for beach weddings.

When choosing a bridal gown, make sure you pick one according to your body type. There are bridal gowns available in the market for every type of body from size zero to plus size wedding dresses for you to choose from. If you feel there is nothing that would match your taste, you can also get a tailor-made gown for yourself.

Shoes

Unless you plan to have a bridal ramp or a walkway installed, avoid wearing your pumps. There is nothing more comfortable than beach sand making its way into your shoes. Consider wearing open toe sandals and if you can, there is nothing better than a beautiful pair of barefoot sandals.

Event Planning

There is a bit of technicality involved in beach weddings, therefore, it is highly recommended that you hire a wedding planner that specializes in beach weddings. Expert wedding planners know exactly what kind of special arrangements need to be made in order to ensure that the evening goes smoothly as planned. Generally, beaches are considered state property, therefore, make sure you have relevant permits from the authorities to host an event at the beach. Unless you do not mind random people around your venue, consider renting out a private beach estate, resort or a restaurant in order to keep your event more intimate.
