Sand, Suits, and Sunsets: The Ultimate Guide to Beach Weddings

A beach wedding can be a beautiful and memorable way to get married. The waves and sand create a relaxed, romantic setting. If you are going to a beach wedding for the first time, it can be a little overwhelming and can take some extra planning. However, if you follow these tips, you will have an amazing experience! 

Here are 9 tips for pulling off the perfect beach ceremony.

 Pick the Right Spot

  • Not all beaches allow weddings, so do your research. Look for beaches that have a permit process for events. Popular public beaches may be too crowded. Consider a private beach area if you can.

 Check Tide Times

  • You want to marry when the tide is out to have more space. Tides shift throughout the day. Schedule your ceremony for low tide.

 Level the Sand

    • Set up a solid floor for the ceremony area. Use boards or a tarp to create an even surface. This keeps guests from sinking in the sand.

     Enhance the Setting

      • Decorate simply with flowers, tiki torches, paper lanterns, seashells, or string lights. Just take wind into account so decor doesn't blow away.

      Provide Shade
        • Rent tents or umbrellas for guests in case it’s hot. Have sunscreen on hand too. Make sure older guests have shade.

         Choose a Casual Dress Code

          • Let guests know attire is casual. Light sundresses and linen suits work well. Avoid long trains or heavy fabrics.

           Wear Flat Shoes

          • Brides should wear wedding flip flops or sandals. Wedges or flats are great for guests. Heels will sink in the sand.

           Prepare Programs

            • Make programs double-sided so the breeze doesn't blow them away. Use heavier paper.

             Have a Backup Plan

            • Book an indoor venue as a rain plan if you can. At minimum, have large umbrellas and towels ready in case of rain.

            With everything well prepared, you should now enjoy the beautiful sunshine and beach. Whether it is a Spring or Summer wedding, Suits Outlets has got you covered! Check out the destination wedding suit collection for your attire.
