But, when it comes to the daytime wedding, you have to be certain that you have ensured few things.

Dress Up For The Day

If you have decided to have a beach wedding like we discussed above, you have to be particular about some things and your wedding dress is one of them. So, you can shop for an airy sheath, it can be an ideal choice to make your day special. But if you want to go for a gown, make sure it is made using lighter fabric that allows easy movement.

We have already discussed the wedding dress, now let us decide about the shoes. High heels and the sand just don’t go well together, so avoid wearing them. Preferably wear flats, espadrilles, or shoes that you will feel comfortable while walking on the sand. It can get pretty hot during the daytime, so ensure that the aisle runner is made of some fabric or flower petals that will offer some protection to your feet.

Adding Some Colors

If you really want the wedding setup to look cool, make sure you have spent some time with the decorator. You can take his suggestions or you can share your views about how you want the things to be done. Going for the contrast colors of the surf and the sand can be a great option. Don’t make efforts to just blend in with the usual colors. Think out of the box to make your day more special.

Have A Permit

It is important that you have done the paperwork that is required to hold a wedding on the beach, it is more important when it is public. You should also inquire about the sound ordinances and make sure you follow them. These rules vary as per the location so, it is better that you have done the research work well in advance. There are few things that should be considered like – whether the wedding is small or big, use of liquor, will there be a bonfire, etc.

Know The Season

Beach season also changes according to the geography, you don’t want the windy conditions to play a spoilsport in your wedding. You have to decide whether the beach, you have finalized, is having a high or low season. Every wedding venue will have its pros and cons depending on your wedding date.

  • More crowd on the beach.
  • More expensive to find the lodge for the guests and relatives.

Accessibility
