Beach weddings are always fun. Fresh colors, breezy weather, and refreshing tropical drinks are just a few things that make weddings on the sand memorable. The soft, rhythmic sound of waves and the picturesque views are so mesmerizing and set the perfect backdrop for romantic nuptials. If you’re planning a special day in the sand, here are ways you can get creative and match the beach vibes for a note-worthy wedding that won’t ever fade in the waves.
Surfs Up & Relax

Nothing says fun and relaxing beach vibes more than surfboards. Take the formal out of weddings with themes like this that are especially cool if they show off your personalities in the most creative ways. Another way to elevate a casual beach celebration is by creating a unique reception lounging space filled with hammocks! These are not only ideal for resting up those dancing feet but also great if you’re going for a boho-inspired setup.
Embrace Casual Beach Fashion

Let’s face it. The only pair of footwear that probably go with a stunning dress are heels. But it might be too hard to walk on sand with them, won’t it? Well, make sure your guests are comfortable during the celebrations by setting a casual dress code. Flowy dresses for the ladies and light suits or khaki attire for men can allow them to feel perfectly dressed for your beach wedding. You can also choose to set a shoe valet for guests to either go barefoot or borrow a pair of flip-flops for when it’s time to bust some moves on the dance floor.

Thinking about what unique favors you can give your guests to take back? There’s nothing better than a scent that lets you relive a beautiful day! Maison Margiela’s replica labeled Beach Walk perhaps is the aptest for tying together memories of a wedding amidst the sand and the ocean. You can also get creative with your welcome bags, including beach essentials like sunscreen, fun munchies, a pair of cool shades, and a soft bath towel!

Does your venue not have a beach around? Don’t worry! A smart alternative can be to transform a pool space and host your wedding or reception by it. And yes, a ceremony over the water is possible! With a run-through plank over the pool, you’re bound to elevate the ambiance into something more magical. And who could forget refreshing drinks! Popsicle Proseccos are always welcome for a tropical, beachy wedding celebration.
