About Me

wedding planning from a man's perspective

As a man, I know next to nothing about planning a wedding. My fiancée and I agreed that we would work together to plan our wedding. She provided me with a long list of things that I was to do independently, a list that she was going to take care of, and a list that we would work on together. The minute she handed me these three sheets of paper, I knew that we were in for a long six months. That was when I started talking to her about hiring someone to help us with the planning of our wedding. Visit our blog to find out how we worked together with a planner to make our day the best it could be.

Reasons To Have A Beach Wedding

When you start to plan your wedding, one of the first things you'll need to think about is where you wish to have this special day take place. There's no shortage of options, and it can be fun to think about what ideas resonate with you and your future spouse. One setting that many people enjoy is the beach. If you live in a waterfront area, there's a good chance that you'll be able to find a venue that offers a stylish beach space for your wedding and reception. Here are some reasons that a lot of people enjoy having beach weddings. 

Pleasant Weather

If you're the type of person who feels most at ease when you're outdoors on a pleasant day, a beach wedding can be a good choice for you. While indoor venues offer a wide range of benefits, none of them give you the sunshine and gentle breeze that you'll get when you get married on a beach. It's always a smart idea to have a tent on the beach to provide shelter if you encounter inclement weather. However, you can do some online research to find which months during the summer historically have the fewest days of rain in your area, and then schedule your beach wedding accordingly.

Picturesque Backdrop

For many people, the backdrop when they get married is one of the most important things to consider. If you want your photographer to shoot some shots during the ceremony, you'll want to choose a venue that has a picturesque backdrop. It's often difficult to find a better natural backdrop than the one you'll encounter at a beach. Having the yellowish-white sand behind you and the blue water in the background can dramatically augment your wedding photos. Your guests will get to enjoy this beautiful scene during the wedding and reception.

Casual Feel

While some people want their weddings to be as formal as possible, others favor more of a casual feel. You may find that a beach venue gives you the perfect casual vibe that you want for your big day. People often dress casually for beach weddings; this isn't typically a place where people want to wear dark suits and long dresses. If you believe that your family and the majority of your guests would appreciate a casual get-together, you'll likely favor a beach setting.
