If you have decided to get married on a beach, you will always find everyone as excited about the venue as you are. It is an extremely popular choice for weddings because it offers a romantic as well as relaxing experience. Besides the warmth of the sand in your toes (no shoes on the beach, please!) and the sound of the waves crashing, the view will always be spectacular. So as we applaud your choice at ServiceMarket, we have also compiled a list of ideas to make sure the wedding is a truly memorable event.
Vines and petals
With a wedding planned on a beach front, nothing should try to steal the show from the natural backdrop. Let the ocean speak for itself by choosing a simple arch for your wedding. We absolutely adore the natural arch woven of vines and flowers in the photograph that blends well with the sand and sea.
We are also a big fan of strewing flowers and petals on the sand to create a natural aisle for the bride to walk down. Lining the path with flowers is also an excellent idea. The white lantern is just the right touch in the photograph for a simple, yet beautiful aisle.
Let’s go blue
For a beach wedding, blue should be the color of choice for decorations. Any shade of blue will complement the backdrop and give life to the wedding decor. It will also combine nicely with the sand and the white wedding dress.
Starfish and seashells
A sea themed cake is a perfect choice for your wedding cake. The cake can be decorated with edible sea shells, crabs and starfish. Most of us at ServiceMarket fell in love with the perfectly delightful seahorse on the wedding cake. If you want to be more subtle, order a simpler cake in shades of blue.
Under the deep blue sea
To feel like you have stepped under the sea, keep a nautical theme for the table decorations. You can add shells and starfish to the centerpieces.
Candles always make us feel relaxed and happy. Wedding reception decor can include candles decorated with shells.
A gift from the sea
A truly fairytale touch to a beach front wedding is a bouquet that isn’t made of the traditional flowers. Instead, opt for a bouquet designed with sea shells, pearls, white roses and orchids. If you want to feel like you have been given the bouquet by Poseidon himself, use natural materials. Lace or ribbons for the handle would be the finishing touch. It is a fun DIY project if you know exactly what you’d like.
Seashells in a bottle
To show your appreciation for your guests, you can gift them party favors in the form of cute glass bottles with wooden stopped filled with tiny sea shells. Encourage your guests to add their own sand if they wish to.
A walk on the beach
The best part about a beach wedding is that it is an amazing place to spend your first moments together as a couple. Let a photographer from a well known photo studio in Dubai shadow you as you take a walk on the beach. Nothing could be more romantic. Remember to ask your photographer to capture your footprints in the sand. If you are feeling really adventurous and don’t mind the mess, you can also wade in the water.
Remember to make the most of the backdrop by taking some photographs along the shoreline. Sandy shorelines will look just as stunning as rocky shorelines when matched with your wedding attire.
The combination of the ocean and a sunset is breathtaking so don’t forget to take some photographs as the sun starts to set. An experienced photographer will guide you so he can take the perfect shots for the wedding album. We adore this photograph of a couple having a special moment as the sun sets.
Besides being such a fairytale experience for the couple, a beach wedding is a much loved venue for everyone else as well. It provides ample opportunity for smiles and laughter, not to mention a great opportunity to sample amazing food. Don’t forget to hire a Dubai photographer to preserve the highlights of your day and a caterer to take care of your guests for you. A well reviewed catering service in Dubai will make your wedding planning go much smoother.
