wedding
Beach
weddings are a fabulous idea for marrying some where like the Caribbean.
Here is a guide for the best beach wedding ever.
Location
If it's possible try and book a private beach then you can have your
wedding ceremony, and reception all day and night and just party. If you
can't hire a private beach or there won't be enough guests attending
most places will allow you to have a beach party. Then if you haven't
got enough guests then you could let others join in and get to meet new
friends all in one.
Invites
Send the invites in old bottles for that real beach feel. Or for an
easier and less expensive way use stationary with pebble or sand
designs.
Decor
Make Three heart designs in the sand using shells, pebbles or drift
wood. One for you and the Groom, one for the priest etc. And one for the
guests. Write your vows in the sand for all to see.
Flowers
Wear Hawaiian style lei flowers in stead of bouquets. Get a florist at
your wedding destination to put together bouquets with shells attached
to them. Or instead of flowers you could carry a shell encrusted candle.
Brides Attire
Wear a grass skirt with a bikini and a Hawaiian garland. You could
go with a floral dress or a sarong and bikini. Wear a shell necklace and
earrings. Go bare foot. Your bridesmaids could dress the same.
Grooms Attire
Floral shirt and Bermuda shorts with a Hawaiian garland round his
neck. Or he could do a David Beckham and wear a sarong and vest top.
Bare foot or sandals.
Catering
For the cake have a sea theme one made. Try white and milk chocolate
shell decorations. If you are having your wedding in the UK you could
make it yourself by buying a plain sponge cake (or a few in different
sizes depending if you want tier cake). Make your own shells with
chocolate or buy some candy ones. Have a sea food spread. Prawn
cocktail, Lobster. A lot of caterers (especially abroad) will be able to
make exotic sea food dishes.
Favours
Make everyone a goodie bag containing sunglasses, flip-flops or you
could make or buy little shell decorations.
Reception
If you can hire a private beach (that is if you have got enough guests
to attend) you can party all day and night with out having to leave. And
because it is hot you won't need to change your clothes, unless you a
wearing a wedding dress. Even if you can't hire a beach there are always
beach party's on a night time (depending on the time you go).
