Beach weddings can be some of the most memorable and beautiful weddings one can imagine...when planned properly. There are many factors to consider in order to make these kinds of weddings work!
Do your research!
Many government entities require certain permits in order to host an event on a public beach. Do your research and make sure you comply with all local and state regulations. Some states require a list of all equipment and food/beverages that will be served.
Weather can be your friend... Or foe!
Sounds obvious, right? You would be surprised how many couples dont have "Plan Bs" in the event of unfavorable weather. Things like when high-tides and low-tides come about, time of sunrise/sunset, average temperature and humidity are all important things to consider. How many brides fantasize of their dream wedding on a beach in Miami only to find that during most summer afternoons it rains cats and dogs there??
Plan A...B...C...D...E... You catch my drift!
Ok, maybe a "Plan E" is a bit much (or is it?) but it is good to have contingencies in place. Think about getting a tent for the wedding to offer some shelter for your guests. Or, consider putting down a deposit on an indoor venue just in case. Remember that you may have relatives and close friends traveling long distances to celebrate your marriage so the key thing is how receptive your guests will be to certain things, especially the outdoors and the elements of mothet nature.
You have some really neat ideas for invitations, its nice to be able to get custom things like this done...I remember my wedding invitations there was not a lot of choices and I love your etsy shop, I am a follower :)
