Beach Weddings

Those Fall Wedding Bouquets -
Today, more and more people are opting for something a little different when they are planning their wedding. Though many people still get married in a church, some people are looking for something a little more in tune with who they are. If you love the ocean, there is no reason why you cant have a beach wedding as long as you can afford it. Not only are they beautiful, they will be something that your guests will remember for a long time to come. There are a lot of things you must consider when planning this type of wedding, however, and you have to keep your guests in mind as you plan. A beach wedding will be a little more expensive if you dont happen to live near the beach. If you have to travel, so will your guests. You have to be realistic when thinking about this. Will your friends and family be able to afford to travel to your wedding? In most cases, you wont have a lot of guests at a beach wedding, but you dont want to have one if the majority of the people you want to be there wont be able to afford the extra costs. You also have to consider the whether when planning a beach wedding. Doing it in any other time than summer is a bad idea. Even in the south, there may be some days in the winter months when it is just too cold for a beach wedding. Take it from me; if your guests are cold and miserable, it is going to be something that takes away from the delight of your special day. You should plan your wedding on a weekend and tell the guest that if there is rain on one day, the wedding will be rescheduled for the next day. You should also have an indoor alternative incase you are pelted with rain on both days. You also have to remind your guests that when they attend your beach wedding that they may have to walk on the sand for a bit. This can mean they dont want to wear heels or anything that the sand will ruin. You may want to ask them to wear sandals or flip flops, and remind them that going barefoot might not be the best idea unless you have someone who is willing to rake the area before you set up for your wedding. The more your guests know, the more fun they will have at your beach wedding, and the better your memories will be.
