It’s romantic to get married on the beach. You can watch the sunset, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, and be surrounded by your closest friends. Goa is the best state for beaches in India. Choose from more than 50 beaches that offer the ideal setting for your beach-wedding. We’ll give you some tips in this two-part article to help plan your big day.
See the location
You may have seen many photos on the internet about a beach wedding, but nothing beats seeing it in person. It is important to know the details about the weather, permits required for hosting a private event at the beach and information regarding peak hours. You may not be allowed to put up additional furniture like canopies or beach chairs on some beaches. This should also be checked. You could plan fun activities such as parasailing or speedboat rides for your guests, depending on the location. If you were to get married in a church or temple, you wouldn’t think twice about the time that you want it to take place. If you are serious about having a beach wedding, you will need to consider weather conditions when deciding on the time. If you decide to marry in the afternoon, you could be subject to intense heat and wind, while if you opt to wed at night, you will face a lack of light, especially if the beach is not well-lit.
Get a new look
Beach weddings are so unconventional, so why be traditional when it comes time to choose what to wear to your D-Day ceremony? We say ditch the heels! You may be tempted to ditch a long flowing gown if you are planning on wearing it. Instead, choose something that is both comfortable and elegant. It’s important not to worry about your hairstyle or whether there are sand particles on your feet. You can talk to your stylist about whether a flowing gown is what you want or something more traditional.
Design the decor according
While beautiful flower arrangements and candles at every table are a common feature at most weddings, they are not the main focus of a beach wedding. The reason is simple: delicate and intricate pieces and preparations are more likely to break, fall or shatter on a beach wedding. Instead, why not choose a natural touch? You could offer coconut water in its shell instead of glasses to your guests, and large umbrellas could be used in place of a canopy.
