There is something about getting married on the beach, with the serene, blue water, and the sandy shores, that has a calming effect on bride and groom, as well as their guests. A beach wedding is a very casual way to get married and yet it is so beautiful as well. Some choose to get married as the sun is rising or setting for a totally different effect on your special day. However you choose to make your beach wedding special, it will be a day that you will never forget.
If you are having a beach themed wedding, you want everything to be perfect. Everything should go along with your beach theme, and if you need some ideas for the music, cake, favors, and more, here are some excellent ideas you can use
Choose a wedding in the morning or evening. This way the beach is less crowded and it’s not as hot.
When choosing your cake, a nice pineapple or key lime flavor is perfect for an exotic taste
Go with fun music for the wedding. Consider using a wedding march that has a Caribbean flavor and hire a band with Caribbean style instruments.
For favors, great ideas are starfish candles, exotic flowers, saltwater taffy, or seashell shaped chocolates.
Instead of a traditional guest book, have a ship captain’s log book.
When you arrive and get ready to walk up the isle, consider having the bride announced with a horn made of a conch shell.
Want plenty of pictures? You can find disposable cameras that come in lovely beach themed designs. They’ll look great on the tables and you’ll get a lot of candid shots by your guests too.
Many brides nowadays are choosing to wear bridal flip flops rather than the more traditional high heeled shoes. Bridal flip flops are especially great for the bride that is planning on having her wedding in a tropical location. The reason for this is that wearing traditional high heeled shoes on the beach just wouldn’t be practical, as the heel on the brides shoes would most likely keep sinking into the sand during the wedding ceremony. However, wearing flip flops instead would of course alleviate this problem, and it would also keep the bride from feeling overheated and uncomfortable as it often gets quite hot and humid over in the tropics.
Flip flops come in a variety of different colors and styles. Many of them have elegant detailing on them such as beautiful little rosettes or crystals. Some of them even come with a high wedge heel for those women that prefer high heeled shoes over flats! With so many great styles available to choose from nowadays, there is sure to be a pair out there that will suit every bride’s fancy!
New bride can also enjoy wearing her bridal flip flops during her honeymoon. Therefore, if you were to give a pair of these as a gift to the bride, you can feel good about knowing that not only did you help the bride to feel comfortable and relaxed on her wedding day but also on her honeymoon as well.
