A beach wedding is casual and romantic and can take place in numerous beach-side locations. On the beach itself would be one option, however there could also be options to have the ceremony conducted on a waterfront pavilion, a garden next to the beach, a hilltop location overlooking the beach or maybe in a beach-side restaurant. A waterfront wedding offers the opportunity for a unique boat arrival.
The colour theme for a beach wedding can take inspiration from the hues of the ocean. Blues and greens complement this style of wedding although inspiration from the oranges of the coral and golden colours of the sand also make a beautiful and romantic combination. Invitations, table centrepieces and bonbonniere can also incorporate starfish, shells, sand and other element to complement a beach wedding.
To create a unique and fun element to a beach wedding, in place of a traditional wedding cake an ice cream truck could serve ice-creams for dessert.
A loose-fitting empire or sheath style dress is best suited to a beach wedding for ease of manoeuvrability and comfort. As beach-side weddings generally take place in the warmer months, a more casual attire is chosen for the men, typically a casual beige suit with or without jackets and often barefoot if on the beach itself. A flowing casual style dress is suited to the bridesmaids.
