The thought of taking your vows in front of a group of your closest friends and family, with the waves crashing behind you and the sand at your feet is how many people envision their wedding day. A beach wedding is thought to be one of the most romantic, yet intimate types of weddings a couple can have. However, beach weddings come with unique challenges and problems that people who host a traditional indoor wedding do not encounter. Here’s a look at some unique challenges you may face with beach weddings, and how you can overcome them.
The first challenge that you might encounter is the weather. A beach wedding is held outdoors and while everyone envisions the day with a bright, shining sun; the truth is you can’t control the weather. While you have no control over whether you will have a day filled with sunshine, or one filled with rain, you can make plans for what to do if the weather is less than stellar. Many people who wish to have a wedding on a beach will either rent out tents to shelter guests from the rain and wind, or they will plan an alternative indoor setting if the weather gets too bad.
Another problem or challenge you might encounter with a beach wedding is the tide. Many people want to have their wedding as close to the waves and water as possible. However, water levels are always changing and where you can safely stand one day might change the next. It is important that you research when low and high tide are expected to be. Farmer’s Almanacs and environmental or weather agencies can help you find this information. This information will allow you to find the perfect place to stand for when you say ‘I do’.
The last challenge or problem you might face with a beach wedding is where to seat the guests. The beach doesn’t come with places to seat hundreds of guests. You will need to find a place that allows you to rent seats or benches. Most wedding planning services or equipment rental agencies will offer chairs or benches to rent. Make sure to check ahead of time who will handle the setting up and taking down of the seats. Most wedding planning services include that in their fee, while rental agencies might not set up the chairs for you and you will need to pay extra or hire a company to set them up.
