A beach
wedding can be beautiful, but
the ceremony and reception does
involve certain logistics. Here
is a list of the basics that
you should check:
Beach
Wedding Checklist:
Are you allowed to have a
wedding at the site? Do you
need a permit and where can
you get one?
How many guests are allowed?
Are electrical outlets available?
If not, how can electricity
be made available?
Is there a place to serve
food? Is food allowed to be
served? Can a tent be pitched?
Is smoking or alcohol permitted?
Are there restrooms for guests?
What are the rules for lighting
fires, including bonfires,
candles, torches, citronella,
etc.?
What is the policy regarding
onlookers and other beachgoers?
Nature:
Since you will be working so
close together with nature on
your wedding site, make a point
of checking the following:
The time of sunset
The tide schedule
Whether there are mosquitoes
or other bugs that you must
fend off. What the chances
of rain are. If you are getting
married in the rain season,
you must have backup, whether
it is a tent or house.
The noise factor. Make sure
that waves or seagulls will
not drown out the voices of
those who will speak at your
wedding by giving a trial
speech at the spot.
The quality of air. Dead seaweed
or a fishy smell can give
a pretty unpleasant odor.
Check whether the beach has
certain smelly periods that
you should avoid. Also check
whether a patrol team will
clean up the beach a few hours
before the ceremony.
The chill factor. Beaches
can get cold during the evening.
Ask the weather bureau for
the average temperature of
the month that your wedding
takes place. If the evenings
are chilly, ask guests to
come prepared or have blanket
throws for them.
Other
things to consider:
Other factors to consider when
planning your beach wedding
include:
Whether you want a formal
or informal wedding
Whether you want to construct
a floor
Whether you want any decorating
or just the natural beauty
of the beach. If you do have
some decorating, bear in mind
that sea gusts can easily
destroy decorations
The time of the ceremony
So go ahead and get planning.
Beach weddings are of the
most romantic parties one
can have and are well worth
the effort.
