- Food and Beverages
- Wedding Cake
- Dresses
Yes, wedding dresses and location are important. But you don’t need to invest your whole fortune on them. If you are having a beach wedding, be careful about the venue. Beaches are usually windy. Pick a cove, or an area shielded from the wind.
Beaches are hot and cold, depending on weather and time. If you are marrying in summer, wear something light. If you are marrying in winter, then you better pick a church.
As for the dress, forgetfull gowns, and skirts. Instead, go for sand friendly dresses and casual beach wear. There are many options available when it comes to Beach Wedding Dresses. So be savvy, you don’t need to invest a fortune into these petty details.
- Keep the Guestlist Short
