While some girls dream of a big fancy wedding in a church, other little girls have always dreamed of beach weddings with just a few of their family and friends. Theres not really anything wrong with that. I wanted to get married in our church because our church means a lot to me, and I wanted to take our vows there before God and have a traditional church wedding. But not all couples are like that. Beach weddings are a popular choice for outdoor weddings. Not only because they provide an excellent view and romantic location, but also because there is nothing quite as intimate or elegant as beach weddings. So if beach weddings have been on your mind since you were a little girl, and now that you’re engaged you can’t imagine any other kind of wedding to have, then here are some planning tips for starting to plan your dream beach wedding.
Beach Weddings Require Permissions
While beaches are mostly public areas, you will still need to get written permission to have beach weddings on the shore.
Contact the beach authorities in the area you are wanting to get married in, and find out what couples planning beach weddings need to do in order to have their weddings on the sea shore. They’ll be able to issue any permits, as well as tell you what rules couples planning beach weddings need to follow in order to have their dream beach weddings.
Beach Weddings can Present Logistical Problems
Couples planning beach weddings need to be prepared to work through the potential logistical problems that comes with beach weddings. For example, you’ll want to have your ceremony location and time of ceremony to be at a time when the number of sunbathers and swimmers are as few as possible. The last thing you need in your beach wedding is a bunch of kids splashing and playing just a few feet away. Kind of ruins the intimacy beach weddings are known for. Also, you’ll need to plan what kind of wedding reception to have, and where to have it. Beaches may allow you to have your ceremony on the beach, but may also draw the line at your erecting a huge tent for your wedding reception. So if beach weddings are your thing, you’ll need to figure out how to get around all of these potential pitfalls.
There is no doubt about it, beach weddings are beautiful. Maybe it’s the sun setting on the water and the gentle salty breeze that makes beach weddings so special. Maybe it’s just part of the magic of nature and the intimacy of exchanging vows, who knows? But when beach weddings are done correctly, they can be one of the most beautiful and romantic kinds of weddings that a couple can plan. So if beach weddings have always been in your dreams, and you’re willing to put in some of the extra work and planning required for beach weddings, then you’re sure to have a beautiful beach wedding people will be talking about for years.
