Beach Wedding Dos and Donts
The draw of the intimate beach wedding has much to do with the fact that it allows you to execute your day in relative simplicity.
DO consider your guests' convenience, as well as how simple or difficult it will be to reach the spot from a significant route
DO pay attention to the climate and ocean's tides, your Event Planning Specialist at the Scripps Villa can advise the best timing for your ceremony
DO bring simple decor that will suit the windy outdoors; simple candles and flowers that do well on the beach and high temperatures (chrysanthemums, calla lilies, king protea, and orchids do well on the beach)
DO opt for a lighter wedding dress, long trains can be difficult when navigating the beach to take photos (go with airy fabrics like chiffon or charmeuse). Maybe allow the groom and his best men to dress more casually, such as lightweight cotton pants
DO explore other vail options such as fresh flowers or a tiara
DO ditch the heels! If you would like to wear shoes, search for the perfect espadrilles or wedges
DO prepare a shoe station. Guests can trade their fancy shoes for flip flops
