Top 7 Tips For Having the Perfect Beach Wedding

Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect. Having this memorable event at the beach, on Stradbroke Island or elsewhere, adds another dimension, so it’s worth considering these factors when planning your dream wedding:

1. Location, Location, Location

Having decided on a beach wedding, finding just the right spot on the beach can be a bit of a challenge. Look for a location that allows everyone to appreciate the natural surrounds, but that doesn’t leave them sun-bleached and dehydrated. This could prove disastrous as alcoholic merriment takes effect. A shady grassy spot, adjoining the beach may be ideal, if available.

Time of Day

Local wind and tide conditions come into focus here. I recently heard of an elderly lady present at a beachside wedding ceremony in Australia. She was firmly stuck in her chair on the beach as a more forceful wave broke the previous tide mark. The water was tingling around her ankles before the hurriedly departing congregation realised she needed to be rescued. I’m certain that freak tides also play havoc with beautiful wedding gowns. Similarly, periodic winds in unprotected locations may disrupt a Bride‘s meticulously arranged hair.

Decide How the Beach will Feature in the Day’s Events

Is the beach important for the whole day’s celebrations, or would you be contented with photos of the wedding party on the beach after the ceremony? A clifftop wedding may encapsulate the beauty of the beach and ocean below, without the potential for wet and sandy socks. Then again, being on the beach may accentuate the informality and relaxed atmosphere that you are after. Socks and shoes optional?

Protection From the Elements

As alluded to in previous sections, Beach Weddings involve some additional considerations. Sunscreen may be needed if there is no overhead cover, while a good marquee should have sufficient aeration lest your guests slowly roast like the beef being served up for the main. Contingency plans for rain are also a worthwhile idea.

Bookings

Australians have a love affair with the beach, and hence it’s a pretty popular place. Many brides and grooms to be will be having similar grand Beach Wedding Ideas. Ensure you book your beautiful beach location early to avoid disappointment. If you, or out of town guests are planning to stay in this beachside area around wedding time, the need for also booking hotels early is especially true.

Beautiful Marquees for a Beautiful Setting

If your marquee is going to be right on the beach, then a white marquee contrasts nicely with the ocean (think of the beautiful bleached houses in the Greek Isles, set against the striking blue seas). White is a traditional wedding colour, a sign of purity, and has the added benefit of being much cooler than other colours under a hot sun. Likewise, a different marquee may complement a different location. Your wedding planner may be able to assist.

Photography

Your wedding day is the day you want to remember for the rest of your life. Beautiful albums of your wedding portraits are one of the main ways to bring these happy memories rushing back. It’s therefore frightfully important to ensure you have a good photographer for the day, one that can handle bright sunshine reflecting off the sand in your beachside poses! Any red backgrounds should only be of striking sunsets, not overexposed prints! A photographer who can think on his feet is an asset. For example, re-arranging photo times to take an approaching storm into account. Some flexibility or gaps in the day’s scheduling can also assist here.

North Stradbroke Island is one of many beautiful spots considered by marrying couples for a romantic beach wedding.
