There’s nothing more magical than the sun-kissed beaches, gentle ocean breezes and sound of crashing surf when it comes to saying, “I do”. Beach weddings can be a romantic and dreamy choice for couples looking to celebrate their destination wedding. Let’s explore the latest beach wedding trends to ensure your nuptials are a breeze as we enter the summer of 2023.
Trend #1: Boho Beach Elegance
In 2023, boho-inspired beach ceremonies will be all the rage. Be free-spirited with flowing, ethereal gowns and flower crowns. Barefoot brides are also a great way to embrace the vibe. Decorate with natural earth tones, like driftwood, dried palm leaves, or seashells. For a touch of boho, add macrame or dreamcatchers.
Trend #2: Sustainable Celebrations
Couples are adopting sustainable practices to host their beach weddings. Use local, seasonal flowers for your floral arrangements. Choose biodegradable, recycled or bamboo paper for your invitations. Your event can be held on the beach to reduce your carbon footprint and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Trend #3: Nautical Nods
Add a touch to elegance with nautical elements. Add a nautical flair to your wedding with navy blue and white color schemes. Anchor motifs and sailor knots will also add a timeless feel. Include these details in your stationery and table settings. Even the boutonniere of the groom can be incorporated to create a cohesive design.
Trend #4: Underwater Romance
If you want to go beyond the beach theme, an underwater wedding is a great option. Decorate the ceremony and reception areas with subtle ocean-themed elements, such as seashell centerpieces and aqua colored table linens. A seafood-inspired menu and underwater-themed photobooths will bring a whimsical element to your event.
Tips for a Stunning Wedding on the Beach:
1. The timing is everything:
When choosing your wedding date, consider the weather and tide patterns. Low tide allows for more beach space and a ceremony at sunset can be a stunning backdrop.
2. Inform your Guests
Inform your guests of the location so that they can bring appropriate clothing and sun protection. It can be thoughtful to provide parasols and sunscreen as well as flip-flops.
3. You can weather-proof your setup:
Plan a back-up plan for unexpected weather changes. You can use a tent to protect your guests from the sun and rain, while still allowing them to enjoy the beach atmosphere.
4. Embrace Light Fabrics:
You should choose lightweight fabrics, particularly for the bride and groom. You will be comfortable all day in flowing dresses and linen suits.
5. Professional Sound System
Invest in a professional audio system to make sure everyone can hear your speeches and vows.
6. Sand-Friendly Decor:
Avoid small or narrow furniture and heels that could sink in the sand. Consider wedges or flats, and beach-friendly seating such as driftwood bench.
A beach wedding in 2023 will be an unforgettable event as the sun slowly sets and the waves gently crash on the shore. There are many trends to choose between, from boho elegance and underwater whimsy. You can create a beach wedding that captures your love and pays homage to your sandy shores and ocean. Take a deep breathe, feel the sand under your toes and prepare to say “I Do” in nature’s most romantic setting. Enjoy your planning!
