A Beach Wedding! What? Who would want to get married on a beach? ME!
Okay, okay...now you think Bella is crazy! Well I'm not. Just sometimes a hopeless romantic! But honestly, I think if I had to do it again, I would have a beach wedding. Well, considering my Italian extended family almost ruined my wedding singlehandedly - can you blame me? I think at this point I would just find an amazing beach somewhere in the world - invite all my friends and relatives - and who makes it does and the rest...well...let's just leave it at that!But seriously, beach weddings are the up and coming thing. More and more people I speak to are opting for either a wedding on a beach close to them, or just flying to an exotic, warm, sunny place where they will honeymoon, and getting married right there. There isn't anything much more romantic than that.
These weddings are the most relaxed and casual I've ever been to. And, the setting is so serene and beautiful that it can be a bit overwhelming. And when I say casual, I don't mean that the bride and groom are dressed like a couple of hippy throwbacks and that I attended wearing a swimsuit and flipflops! The "feel" of the wedding is more relaxed probably because the bride and groom are in a setting that allows them to be more themselves and not act like two people who are on display.If you don't have the money to fly to an exotic island, there are plenty of ways to have a "beach" style wedding right where you are. There are many local parks, small resorts, local hotels on the water that you can rent the property from for the day. Also, if you don't live near the ocean, a beautiful lake wedding can be breathtaking.
Also, your beach wedding should include food and drinks, centerpieces, and of course a unique wedding favor, all in the beach theme. This wedding favor is one of our most popular unique wedding favors for beach weddings.
Aren't they adorable? These flip flops are place card holders or picture holders.But those aren't all we have. Wait, here's one more! This is our Adirondack chair tealight and place card holder wedding favor!
I just love this stuff! Okay...enough is enough. Just go to our website. There are TONS more!So, I've convinced you. You're considering a beach wedding. But where? I've got lots of suggestions here. How about places in Florida, such as Clearwater Beach, Sand Key Beach, Siesta Key, Treasure Island, Tampa, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, Melbourne Beach Pensacola Beach, Navarre Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, and Destin. And that's just Florida. Also, don't forget the Caribbean, Fiji, Tahiti, Southern California, Hawaii...and on and on and on. It would take my entire blog to list them all. And here's a bit of a tip if you're considering it. Many times it will end up less expensive than a full blown wedding in a banquet hall! And don't forget. No airfare to get to your honeymoon. You're already right there. Or if guests have decided to make this their vacation also, it can just be a short drive or quick plane ride to someplace very closeby to allow you more privacy.
Okay, now I've messed up your head. Should you even consider this? Of course! Consider everything. But bottom line...it's YOUR wedding. Do what feels right to you, not what feels right to all the voices around you. And remember, it's one of the most important days of your life. Be happy. Enjoy. Before you know it, this time will have passed and will be nothing but a distant memory.
Much happiness coming your way,
Bella
