Planning A Beach Themed Wedding
The azure blue water, the soaring seagulls, the feeling of the sun on your face… Is there anything as beautiful, or as romantic as a beach wedding? Perhaps this is why you have chosen to marry on the beach with the ocean swell as your backdrop. Yes, planning a beach themed wedding is a great idea, but you must always remember your budget.
Chances are, even if you were able to do so, getting a private part of an oceanic beach may cost a little for exclusivity. Then there is the matter of the tides, and the weather, and unpredictable winds. Not to fret though, there are scores of things you can do to recreate that sandy setting.
Many public lakes often have sandy beaches, particularly at camping sites so if you are adamant about the water and sand as physical things, then this would be your way to go.
Planning a beach themed wedding doesn’t actually have to involve the ocean, you could rent a gazebo or even us a large yard and use some simulation techniques.
The sound is the easiest to simulate. The waves rolling on the sandy shore, seagulls in the air, and a nice cool breeze can be easily remade with some decent rented speakers and an atmosphere cd you can find at Wal-Mart or other such stores for around 6 dollars or so. Perhaps a large fan as well.
The smell of course is harder. Try a local new age shop or cd store. They often have scented candle, incense, and oils that will do the trick.
The sand is easy. A funny approach would be a sand box, or you can by sand by the bag at a Menards or a general retailer.
Then all you need are some seashells, perhaps some fake starfish, all are easy to get. Just do not forget the beach balls!
To top it all off, make sure you do a proper search for the perfect wedding dress – it should be flowy, casual and appropriate to a beach wedding… go barefoot and you’ll nail the perfect look and feel of a beach wedding.
As you can see, planning a beach themed wedding even if you can’t actually be at the ocean is easy. You may not have an oceanic beach, but wait until sunset and follow the tips above, and can create a memorable day.
