Beach Weddings Pros and Cons
Beach weddings are one way to get married. They certainly are not for everyone, but they are for some. Beach weddings do present “special issues”. Failing to consider these ahead of time could leave you unpleasantly surprised on your wedding day!
There is certainly nothing that should discourage you from your vision of a beautiful seaside ceremony. As a matter of fact, there are many benefits.
Just know the issues and plan ahead for them. Your wedding day will be a wonderful and joyous event!
The “Pros”
* A beach wedding can be less expensive than a traditional wedding. Who in this day and age can’t afford to save money? It is said that the average budget for a wedding these days is between $20,000 to $30,000!
* A beach wedding can be a casual affair. It allows everyone to relax. Your guests can dress comfortably.
* The wedding ceremony and reception can all be held right there on the beach. No need to travel to different locations. This is very convenient for everyone. Hey, even the kids can have fun at a beach wedding!
* A beach wedding allows you to involve everyone in the activities. Guests are not restricted to sitting quietly in their seats. They can actually be a part of the celebration!
* Beach weddings don’t always require a permit. If you are having a small ceremony and do not require a section of the beach to be blocked off…just do it! Simple yet lovely!
* There is no “right” or “wrong way” to plan a beachfront wedding. It can be large, small, romantic, whimsical or even downright goofy! You can pay big bucks and hire everything out, or, you can make everything yourself. The choice is completely yours!
The “Cons”
* The most important thing to remember when planning a beach wedding is that “Mother Nature” rules! Depending on her mood, she can brighten your day or rain on your parade! When planning your celebration, be sure to plan an “alternate location” should the old girl be cranky that day!
* The beach is usually a bit breezy so take that into consideration when picking your location. Try to choose a “cove” on the beach that is protected from direct winds.
* Be sure to check with local authorities regarding any permits needed to use the beach. This should only be necessary if you are having a large gathering and you want to block off a portion of the beach exclusively for you and your guests. Ask to be sure though.
* Check on the “Beach Rules”. Ask questions. Can you have candles on the beach? Can you play music into the night? How late can you stay? Is there an area nearby for open fires should you choose to barbeque?
* Speaking of food…don’t forget about the seagulls! They are notorious beggars and thieves. You can expect them to attend your beach wedding, uninvited! As long as you keep food covered and don’t feed them, they will stay on the sidelines.
* Remember the tides. You definitely do not want to be surprised by the quick and unanticipated arrival of high tide!
* On the beach, there will be bugs and sunshine! Make sure you consider the comfort of your guests. Bring sunscreen and insect repellant for those who did not remember to bring their own.
* Chairs may sink in the sand if you do not rent flooring to place under them. However, if you are planning a “beach blanket” reception, you will not need chairs. Remember your elderly guests though. Plan for their safety and comfort. You will need to provide them with chairs and beach umbrellas to protect them from the elements.
Beach weddings are absolutely beautiful but nature does provide an element of uncertainty. Careful planning on your part will eliminate most of them. Just remember…
If every hair is not in place due to the ocean breezes or a seagull drops off his “wedding gift” a little to close to the punch bowl… These are not flaws or imperfections in your day. They are “memories”! Cherish them and have fun!

We wemt to Bermuda for our honeymoon. It certainly was a quick flight. The weather was perfect!!! Just be careful of someone trying to get your money. Everything about the honeymoon was perfect but these local guys that were looking for money and trying to get us to buy some drugs. You have to be careful there is always someone somewhere trying to take advantage of someone especially young honeymooners.
