Tips to Plan a Memorable Beach Wedding

Naturally at a beach wedding the bride must attire herself appropriately. An elaborate ball gown will only cause problems at the beach, making it difficult for you to move around and pose for photographs. Additionally lace trimmed dresses can be inconvenient as they easily become soiled with dirt or debris. A better option would be to wear a dress fashioned from a light fabric such as charmeuse or chiffon which will flow naturally in the sea breezes.

Needless to say, high heels have no place at a beach wedding. Instead select flat-soled sandals, wedges or espadrilles that will not descend into the sands. As the sand can become hot in tropical climates, your choice of footwear should preferably permit your feet to cool down by allowing air to pass through.

A stylish updo would be an excellent choice of hairstyle for a beach wedding as it would remain in place without being disturbed by the sea breezes. A classic updo is sure to look polished and sophisticated for the duration of the wedding ceremonies. On the other hand if you feel that is essential to wear your tresses down, it would be a good idea to secure the professional services of a hair stylist for the day, so that he/she can adjust your hair whenever necessary.

A long cumbersome veil will probably be an impediment at a beach wedding. Especially if it is gusty, an elaborate veil would be very inconvenient for the bride as well as the photographer. A good alternative would be to choose to highlight your hairstyle with appropriate flowers which will enhance your al fresco wedding.

Although many women may imagine their partner in a tuxedo for their wedding, thick black wool fabric is totally unsuitable for a tropical beach setting. Many modern grooms attire themselves in light cotton trousers or even perhaps tailored shorts for the big day.

If your beach location is a naturally breathtaking setting, you do not have to worry about using elaborate decorations and expensive flowers. Instead, choose to complement the natural allure of the beach by selecting a beach theme such as starfish and shells. Another good idea would be to follow a restrained colour scheme with shades representing the sand, stones and water of the beach.

When it comes to ensuring memorable photographs of your beach ceremony, the lighting is exceedingly important. An excellent choice would be to conclude the nuptial ceremony about an hour prior to sunset. By doing so you will be able to obtain quality natural light shots in addition to glamorous sundown portraits.

Naturally you should not forget to inform your guests that the wedding will take place in a beach setting. In addition to making your plans clear in the invitation or website, you should prepare welcome bags containing essentials like water bottles, hand fans and sunscreen. If you are interested in conducting your nuptials at one of the wedding hotels in Sri Lanka an excellent choice would be the Anantaya Resort & Spa Chilaw.

A tropical beach wedding is sure to be hot and humid, so you should take care that you provide adequate refreshments for your guests. You should prepare a table providing lemonade, ice water or a special cocktail so that the guests can refresh themselves during the event.
