Additionally, here are five important things you should keep in mind before prepping for a beach destination wedding.
1. Keep The Dressing Light Or Casual
Beach-sides are humid, so wearing that three piece wedding suit on a beach is surely going to leave you sweating profusely. You can instead opt for casual wedding wear or settle for airy fabrics like cotton or linen. A linen suit will make a swell wedding attire for a beach destination wedding. Similarly, the bride can choose something flowy and airy.

2. Make Sure It Is A Low Tide That Day
Seas and Oceans have low tide and high tide, which means the water would withdraw back in low tide, and come back to cover a significant chunk of the beach during high tides. You don’t want yourself and the guests to get soaked in salty water. So make sure you check with the local weather department about tide status on your wedding date. In most cases, the venue manager should be able to give you that information but it is always great to do your own research.

3. Check Out Information About The Weather
Just like tide information, it is important to have ample information about weather forecast for the day. Do ample research about it days before your wedding. Also, have someone be the sentry on the wedding day who can keep an eye on changing weather conditions during the wedding.

4. Choose A Clean Private Beach
Opt for a beach which is free from debris and other unwanted trash. Usually, beaches that are privately owned tend to be maintained well, so give preference to a beach venue which is private and not open to public. That way, even you will have privacy during your wedding.

5. Instruct The Decorators In Advance
Since your decoration has to be done in-time for the wedding, send out the instructions to your decorator in advance so that they can reach the venue on time and do all the necessary arrangements.
