What better inspiration is there to plan a beach wedding?

After all, a little time away from reality could be just what your guests are looking for, and a little rest and relaxation before the nuptials couldn’t hurt the bride to be and her lucky groom. Beach weddings offer so many opportunities for creativity, we just had to share a few with you.  As with any outdoor wedding, weather is always a variable. But unlike a ceremony that takes place in an outdoor courtyard or foliage-rich environment, the beach makes for a beautiful backdrop no matter what the weather. When looking for a reception venue on the beach, check out their indoor ceremony location; chances are there will be a window overlooking the sun and surf, which could serve as a wonderful relocation point if you find yourself running from inclement weather.

Another advantage of beach weddings is the fresh palate of seafood options that will surely be part of the package deal. Guests will have an opportunity to sample some local fare, adding to the beach-inspired theme of the evening. People will come from near and far to partake of this fine cuisine and, of course, to share in your special day.  When the dinner and dancing have finally ended and your guests prepare to bid you adieu, the world will be your oyster. Kick off your heels, grab your man’s hand, and revel in the feel of sand between your toes as you take a romantic stroll by the water’s edge as the new Mr. and Mrs.  Not everyone sees the beach as an opportunity to celebrate the biggest party of their lives, but for those who do, we say go for it!
