Getting married on the beach can be the perfect setting for some couples. The natural beauty of the beach provides most of the decor you need, allowing for a simpler and more fun style of wedding. If you want to have a beach wedding, here are a few things to consider.

Go for A Breezy Dress

Getting married on the beach means walking in the sand. It can be difficult to walk in the sand in a ballgown-style wedding dress. Heavy fabrics can really weigh you down when you are battling the wind and the sand outside.

Instead, stick to a wedding dress made from a lighter material, such as charmeuse or chiffon. This type of fabric will not hold you down and will dance in the wind rather beautifully.

You may also want to ditch the veil, which can be tricky and uncomfortable if there is even a light breeze. Instead, dress up your head and your hair by adding flowers to your hair, or use a pretty clip in your hair.

Get a Sound System

You are going to want to have a sound system. In all that open space, without a sound system, your guests are not going to be able to hear you say your vows or the other parts of the ceremony. If you don't want to be yelling the entire ceremony, have a sound professional set up a system for your wedding. Make sure they bring windscreens so that your guests will hear your words, and not the moving of the wind, during the ceremony.

Setting Up the Ceremony

Instead of just getting married at a random beach, consider getting married at a beach venue where they can set up the ceremony area for you. Although the decor will be simple, there is still some prep work involved. You will want to set up and provide seats for your guests. You may want to define the aisle with carpet or with decorations on the side. You may want to set up some type of alter for you to stand at when you get married. If you rent a beach venue instead of just using some random beach for your ceremony, the employees can take care of everything for you.

When you decide to go for a beach wedding, work with a beach venue to make setting up the ceremony site and getting a sound system in place a simpler affair. When choosing your dress for the big day, be sure to think about the environment, and go for something lightweight and flowing over a heavier and bigger dress.
