Your partner has proposed and the day is to be set, but as you
look through the pages of a bridal magazine and view the lavish
bridal gowns and stately reception halls you feel overwhelmed and
uncomfortable. While you dream of creating a memorable day that
will share your love and commitment with your closest friends and
family, the vision you have is not fitting the offerings you see
in the magazines.
For a special couple whose hallmark is an easy-going, carefree
attitude and an intimate circle of friends and family, perhaps
the traditional weddings you've attended and now consider are not
for you. With the popularity of theme weddings you may find a
different approach will help you display your love of life and
each other in a beautiful, but decidedly unique wedding. A beach
wedding.
A beach wedding is all about the honeymoon. While most couples
have a traditional service and reception and THEN take off to the
beach on their own, a beach wedding welcomes friends and family
into the marriage on a closer level.
Beach weddings are sometimes held in the honeymoon destination
and in most cases are small, intimate affairs. If you enjoy a
close knit family or social circle, you may find a beach wedding
shares your deep affections for them and your new partner better
than a large formal service could.
Whether you all fly to a tropical destination, or simply hold a
small service on a local beach, you can create a romantic and
casually elegant wedding.
For small weddings you may pass out invitations rolled up in a
small corked bottle which you can find at a craft store. You and
your partner may consider wearing simple, all-white attire while
the wedding party (even just a party of two) chooses a theme
color to compliment. A breezy summer dress, loose hair and a
simple bouquet for the bride and a groom's outfit of a white
cotton shirt and pants sets off the freshness of a beach wedding.
If the wedding or reception occurs near dusk, bring small glass
tealight holders to place in the sand. Sprinkling the table with
seashells or beach rocks will add to the feel even if part of the
reception takes place indoors. White table cloths and white china
with glass or crystal creates an elegant mood, while fiesta
bright colors can set off a more playful decor.
For flowers, think of tropical arrangements or even all white
lilies in unstructured bouquets. Adding tropical plants to an
indoor reception along with bamboo or rattan seating will carry
the theme throughout.
If you decide that a beach wedding will capture your day in way
that no traditional wedding will, you can be sure that your
guests will also have a special memory of your marriage day that
will last a lifetime.
