A Beach Wedding is always a good idea as it gives you a feeling of warmth, serenity and peace. It is a wedding and a vacation coupled into one that you and your guests will definitely enjoy! In order to have a hassle and stress-free beach wedding, Here’s what you should take note of:
Wedding Planner
A wedding planner is ideal in every kind of wedding but they are needed the most in destination weddings such as beach weddings. It would be nice if the wedding planner that you booked is familiar with the beach that you are planning to have your wedding as they will easily be able to book the best resort and services that there is around the area. Also, the wedding planner will save you from the hassle of wedding planning and make sure that you will just smile and remember the moment on your wedding day. Wedding planners will also be able to foresee the possible problems that may occur on the day of your wedding and they will be prepared if anything happens.
Location Matters
This is the most important part of a beach wedding where you should consider both the beauty and accessibility of the said resort for your friends and family. When looking for the best resort or location, look for a place where you think will make your wedding the most memorable and enjoyable one. Don’t forget also to look at the weather for your ideal dates to make sure that you don’t get rained on your wedding day. We would like to see Mr.Sun out, don’t we?
Save – The – Dates?
Since you are considering to have a destination wedding, you may need to give your guests an early heads-up for them to be prepared for the trip physically, mentally and financially. As your wedding will somewhat serve as a vacation too, they may need to inform their company or office ahead of time to make sure that they will surely be able to attend your wedding. Ideally, save-the-dates should be sent at least a year prior to the wedding but sending it out 6 months before is okay too as long as you give your guests enough time to prepare.
Also, make sure that the wedding invite has a clear instruction on how to get to the beach wedding venue, the ideal route and the best time to travel. This is to give the guests an idea when they should leave in order to be at the wedding venue on time and not get lost.
Guests Travel and Accommodations
The engaged couple is usually not responsible for the guest’s airfare and hotel accommodation or the meals prior to the wedding. But, it is the role of the engaged couple to help them coordinate with the hotel and make arrangements. Ideally, a hotel block is the easiest and most cost-effective way of saving a lot of money for you and your guests to ensure that they will only have fun during the wedding celebration. You may ask your guests in advance if who are the ones who are confirmed to be going and if they would want you to be the one who will book the hotel for them.
Dress Code
The best part about beach wedding is that it gives off a very casual and care-free vibe and does not require an expensive piece of dress or gown. Of course it still depends on the both of you if you still want a formal dress code for your wedding or go for a more casual one but still looks classy. Whatever you set your mind to, don’t forget to include sample pictures of the type of dress code that you want for your wedding to avoid differences in the outfits of the guests. Take note to keep comfort in check as you are having your wedding outdoors, under the sun and on the beach (stilettos will definitely sink in the sand, right?) .
