Beach Wedding is a such a good idea if you love summer and some kind of unusual wedding. It could be really interesting, intimate and unique wedding ceremony.  Below are a few of my recent favorite beach wedding finds.

So, if you love summer and beaches and you want to make a beach wedding, get some idea of the gallery of inspirational beach wedding ideas.

In this article, we share 40 fun and easy beach wedding ideas that will help you plan an incredible ceremony.

FAQ

How much is a beach wedding?

A local beach wedding package may range from $200 to $5,000. This is on average the case for exotic destination weddings, where the average cost is $17,000, while the average costs $25,000. The average wedding on the beach and destination is less expensive than traditional weddings, most of the time.

How much does it cost to get married in Florida on the beach?

Even a small beach wedding includes everything you expect at a traditional ceremony, such as elegant decor, an officiant, sound system, and a photographer. Packages for Florida weddings start at $895 and top out at nearly $2995.

What is the best month to have a beach wedding?

Having your perfect beach wedding ceremony is not always easy, sometimes it’s better than others. It is popular on the Emerald Coast to hold beach weddings in April, May, June, September, and October.

Beach Wedding Arches & Aisles

Beach wedding arches can be made of driftwood, shells, flowers, or seashells. The possibilities are endless!

You might want to consider the following when deciding on a beach wedding arch:

  • * How will it be decorated? If you have any special decorations that you’d like to incorporate into your beach wedding arch (i.e., seashells), think about where you’ll place them in order to make sure that they don’t get lost behind the structure itself!
  • * Will it be portable? If so, how far should it go down the aisle? Consider bringing in extra seating in case there aren’t enough chairs for everyone at this location!

Tips:

Ask guests to take their shoes off before entering the ceremony area

One of the best ways to make your guests feel comfortable is by removing their shoes before they enter the ceremony area. This is not only a great way to ensure everyone has a more comfortable experience, but it can also save you from worrying about how muddy or sandy their feet will be when they walk on your brand new carpet!

Ask your wedding coordinator or someone else with experience performing weddings what would work best for you and your venue.

Beach Wedding Tent

Tents are a great way to keep the sun off guests. They can be decorated with flowers or lights, and they can be decorated with sea shells. The tent will help keep the venue cool during a hot day.

Beach Wedding Centerpieces

The beach is a beautiful place to have a wedding, and it can be an equally beautiful backdrop for your centerpieces. If you’re having an outdoor reception, consider setting up some of your centerpieces on tables near the water so that they’re visible from afar. Here are some ideas:

  • Use seashells and sand as part of the design. For example, use a vase filled with shells to hold flowers or candles at each table.
  • Create candle displays using driftwood collected from the beach or decorative rocks that you find along the shoreline.
  • Add dried flower arrangements made with anything from eucalyptus leaves to rose petals—whatever grows naturally in your area—to give your reception an outdoorsy feel without going overboard (and costing too much money).

Beach Wedding Guest Book & Message

A beach wedding guest book can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be. You could ask your guests to write on a beach ball, but if you want something more permanent and meaningful, consider writing on a large shell instead. Guests could also write their messages into sandcastles that the bride and groom can keep forever!

Beach Wedding Signs

  • The first thing you should consider is what kind of sign you want to make. Wooden signs are popular for beach weddings because they are sturdy and easy to paint, but metal or plastic signs can also look great if you want something a little different.
  • If possible, make your own signs from scratch! You can use plywood or masonite (hardboard) to create custom shapes that fit your vision perfectly. Then paint them with bright colors like pink and reds so that everyone knows exactly where they’re going at your wedding!
  • Another option is to use seashells as decorations for your sign—this adds another element of fun into the mix! Plus there’s nothing better than seeing shells scattered around a beach setting on an island where it’s always sunny outside 24 hours per day all year long (except during hurricanes).

Beach Wedding Shoes & Signs

Beach wedding shoes should be both comfortable and easy to walk in. You want something that will keep you from stumbling over the sand, but isn’t so bulky that it’s hard to put on or take off (you’ll have other things on your mind!). A lot of people say flip-flops are the best choice, but make sure they’re not just your everyday “beach” flip-flops—they need to be sturdier than that. Some people even recommend wearing socks underneath their beach shoes because they help provide extra cushioning.

If you’re worried about hurting your guests’ feet by walking them through water or sand during the ceremony, consider putting up signs with instructions for where everyone should stand during the ceremony so no one gets hurt!

Beach Wedding Favors

The perfect beach wedding favor for your guests? A bottle of sunscreen. It’s small, lightweight and easy to pack—you can even get it in a reusable container that’ll be an awesome addition to their home decor.

On top of this, who doesn’t need more sunscreen in their life? The cost of the average bottle is super-affordable (so long as you don’t go all out and buy some fancy designer stuff). And it’s something your guests will actually use after they get home from the beach wedding—which is really what matters most when choosing favors!

Beach Wedding Dresses

  • Don’t think that beach wedding dresses have to be just one type of style. The two most popular styles are casual and formal, but you can get creative with your dress if you want to!
  • Many women choose short beach wedding dresses when they want something more fun and playful for their big day. A shorter dress also works better if it’s going to be hot outside, since it won’t weigh down on your body as much as a long gown would.
  • If you’re not a fan of short dresses or don’t feel comfortable in them, then go with a longer style instead! Longer gowns look great on the beach and are perfect for any weather conditions: hot days can be made cooler by wearing an off-the-shoulder style or adding sleeves; chilly nights will keep anyone warm inside their long sleeves and lace patterns; rainy days won’t cause the fabric to become soggy thanks to all those layers (plus there’s always an umbrella nearby). Plus there are many different colors available when shopping online today so everyone can find one that fits their personal style preferences perfectly!”

Beach Bridesmaid Dresses

Beach bridesmaid dresses are a great way to show your beach theme. They can be light and breezy, or even just a simple dress that’s the same color as your wedding dress. A beach bridesmaid dress should also follow the same style as the wedding gown—if you’re having an outdoor ceremony, try out some strapless styles!
