If you're getting married on the beach, those six inch heels are out! Your footwear should be all about casual but stylish comfort - and practicality! You don't want to be wobbling around on the sand in shoes that are all wrong for a beach wedding.

Since you have chosen a beach wedding ceremony over a traditional wedding ceremony, you already know that certain things are just not going to work on the beach. So how can your feet still look bridal?

There are a lot of really great options when it comes to footwear for your beach wedding! You can opt for a simple pair of white sandals, or sandals with floral accents. Also becoming increasingly popular is going barefoot - but staying decorative. In the picture above you can see a great example of this! Simple jewellery for your feet will make you feel dressed up, while staying practical.

What would you prefer for your beach wedding - sandals or foot jewellery?

Do You Need a Wedding Planner for a Beach Ceremony?

Source: sosimplyspecial.com via Kristin on Pinterest

Having a wedding planner or choosing a wedding package can really help your beach wedding run smoothly. But if you are having an intimate wedding ceremony, do you still need a wedding planner?

Since it will only be you and your groom at the ceremony, it may seem that a wedding planner isn't necessary. But regardless of the size of your wedding, there are still so many things that a wedding planner takes care of. For example, at my dream Maui beach wedding ceremony, a wedding planner would take care of finding the perfect location and the wedding license, along with all of the other details for the ceremony!

Even if you are having a small, intimate beach wedding ceremony, a wedding planner is still a must! Choose a wedding planner that will make sure your beach wedding is as perfect as you have always imagined it.

Planning For a Wedding Reception

If you plan to have a larger beach wedding ceremony, then you need to start thinking about planning your wedding reception. I think a wedding reception is the perfect way to have fun and celebrate your new union with your loved ones!

Decide the budget for your reception first. From there, you can decide if you want it to take place outside, at a restaurant, or at a reception hall. A wedding planner will help you decide which venue is the best for your wedding party needs, as well as what catering, food and entertainment will best suit your budget. 

For my dream wedding, I am thinking of something small and intimate, so I haven't decided if a wedding reception is right for me.

Avoid Tan Lines For Your Beach Wedding

Source: Uploaded by user via Emily on Pinterest

Anytime you go to the beach, it is important to stay sun safe. This is especially true on your wedding day and leading up to it! There is nothing worse than having to deal with tan lines at your beach wedding ceremony. Every bride wants to look perfect at their wedding, so tans lines are a huge don't!

It is important to always wear sunscreen, even when it is cloudy out. In the weeks leading up to your wedding, be sure that you are even more cautious of the sun than normal. If you've already been burnt, try using a self-tanning lotion to try and even out the colour as much as possible. Be sure to treat any sunburns with aloe to help the burn heal faster (and to prevent any peeling.)

Beach weddings are fantastic, but since you will be out in the sun all day, remember to be cautious of the sun - there is nothing worse than tan lines on your wedding day!

Should Your Beach Wedding Be Small and Intimate?

Source: glamourandgraceblog.com via Shannon on Pinterest

Beach weddings are versatile. This is one of the many reasons why they are so popular! When it comes to your beach wedding ceremony, it is important to decide if you want a large or small wedding ceremony.

There are certain questions you will need to ask yourself: Do you want a wedding party? Do you want to elope to Hawaii? Are you planning on having a lot of wedding guests witness your ceremony? Or, will your beach wedding be just you and your groom?

There are pros to planning either a small and intimate ceremony and a larger ceremony. A larger beach ceremony will be something memorable that you can share with your family and friends, while a small and intimate beach ceremony is a romantic and private moment shared with the bride and groom. 

Whatever you decide, your beach wedding ceremony is sure to be incredible.

Keep Cool In The Hot Sun

When it comes to your beach wedding, it is important to keep cool in the sun. If you are getting married in Hawaii, or somewhere just as warm, there are a few things you will need to keep in mind to ensure that your special day doesn't hit any snags.

- Make sure that the material of your dress is lighter weight so that you won't overheat on the beach. This is why light, flowy dresses are popular for beach wedding ceremonies.

- Think about styling your hair into a sleek updo to keep it off of your face and neck.

- Provide paper fans for any beach wedding ceremony guests or seat them in the shade.

- Choose a beach where the weather won't become an issue. There are people who will be able to help you with this decision if necessary.

Accessorizing Your Beach Wedding Dress

Source: everythingsparklywhite.tumblr.com via Shannon on Pinterest

Never underestimate the importance of accessories. They can completely tie a look together - especially on your wedding day! If you decide to have a beach wedding, then you need to be careful with your accessories.

While many women who have a traditional church ceremony tend to wear larger, more dramatic jewellery, for your beach wedding, keep it simple. Like your dress, you want to look sophisticated and elegant - and not too over the top. The laid back feeling of the beach should be reflected in the way you look.

Keep your earrings tasteful and elegant, your necklace dainty, and your hair accessory whimsical and romantic. A great idea for a hair accessory is to incorporate elements of the beach - a shell or starfish, or even flowers from the island. Get creative, but keep the feeling of the beach in whatever you choose. 

A Romantic Dinner on the Beach

After your beach wedding is over, what is a better way to celebrate than an intimate dinner on the beach?

Watching the sun set, feeling the breeze lightly brush against your skin.... all while being pampered and served a fantastic meal? I really love the idea of having a quiet, romantic dinner together. I think it's a great time after your beach wedding to unwind and appreciate the moment. You could even have music playing around you - how perfect!

What is great about a beach dinner, is that you can have friends or family with you, or choose to keep it private. I personally would want something private and romantic. After all, it is your wedding day! I hope that one day I will be able to have an unforgettable beach wedding - and take in the beauty of the scenery with an intimate dinner.

An Unexpected Vow Renewal

Surprise! You've gotten all dressed up for a nice dinner, and instead you're being whisked away to a vow renewal on the beach. Is there anything more romantic?

Best Dress For Your Beach Wedding?

Source: Uploaded by user via Shannon on Pinterest

When it comes to your beach wedding, one of the most important things you need to think about is your wedding dress!

Beach weddings are unlike traditional weddings, so you have to consider your scenery when picking out your dress. When I think of a beach wedding dress, I think of something with a halter neckline (far more casual than a fitted strapless sweetheart neckline!) and that is nice and flowy. Ideally, your wedding dress should look sophisticated but slightly more casual than something you would wear at a traditional wedding ceremony location.

The dress pictured above really sums up my idea of the perfect beach wedding dress. I love the light layers along the bottom, especially! They really add a romantic look to the dress, which is perfect for a beach location.

What does your perfect beach wedding dress look like?

Beach Wedding Vow Renewals

 

The beach is the perfect place to renew your vows. Romantic and intimate, a beach wedding can't miss! The beautiful locale will be sure to make you fall in love all over again. 

Vow renewal ceremonies are great for anniversaries, while on vacation, or just as a way to recommit yourself to the person you love. My parents have been thinking about a vow renewal ceremony - I am trying to encourage it as much as possible.

There are different kinds of vow renewal ceremonies to choose from. Some of the more popular ones are contemporary, spiritual, Christian, and the legacy vow renewals. They all sound so romantic!
