Tips and advice on planning a Ventura or Santa
Barbara beach wedding in Southern California
Some of the most magical beach weddings in Southern California
are held right here in the Ventura and Santa Barbara area. A beach
wedding can be a great wedding that is sure to be different –
it is so very California. If you are considering a Ventura or
Santa Barbara beach wedding, the ideas are as endless as your
imagination! One thing about choosing to have a beach wedding
is that it allows you total creative freedom. Depending on the
time of day, the beach can set the mood. At sunrise or sunset,
it is a place of serenity, beauty and romance. Mid-day, it is
the hub of excitement, activity, and fun.
By nature, a beautiful scene has already been set for you. There
is no need for many decorations! A beach wedding arch decorated
with some flowers is all you need. Are you planning an intimate
wedding with just a few guests? Let the beach help you set the
stage for your romantic wedding ideas with a dawn or dusk seaside
ceremony. The sunrise or sunset will provide a spectacular background
for your wedding photos.
Although not everyone wants to get married with sand between
their toes, there is something about getting married at the beach
under the open skies with the sound of the waves crashing in the
background that is somehow very appealing. It can be real fun
to plan a beach wedding, albeit very different from planning a
regular wedding. Here are some ideas to help in planning a Ventura
or Santa Barbara beach wedding.
· If you are having a very intimate wedding on the
beach with less than 15 guests, then you need not arrange for
seating for the guests. However, if you are expecting up to
50 or more guests, then you need to make seating arrangements.
To make seating and walking easier, rent an aisle way or flooring
for your beach wedding. Flooring is quite easy to rent and is
also not very expensive. It could be anything from simple carpet
to parquet.
· Depending on the time of year you are planning your
beach wedding, try and schedule the wedding for early morning
or in the evening so that you do not have to deal with the harsh
sun. Have iced drinks such as lemonade circulated amongst the
guests as this will help them stay cool and refreshed. You may
also wish to have small paper fans for guests to use to help
them stay cool.
· Keep in mind that since a beach is an open venue, there
is always a chance of rain on the big day. Either have a tent
put up on the beach to accommodate all your guests; or if you
don’t want to do that then reserve an indoor venue as a
back-up.
· Because of the waves and the surf, the beach can be
noisy so sound is a consideration. Be sure to have a sound system
to broadcast your wedding vows so guests can hear. If the beach
does not have restrooms, you may wish to rent them.
· If you are having the wedding at a public Ventura or
Santa Barbara beach, see that you have the requisite permit
and that you follow any public rules or regulations. Hiring
a Day-Of wedding planner is great if you want to keep any curious
onlookers on the beach away from your wedding site.
· The bride should ideally dress in a nice and comfortable
wedding dress that reflects a beach wedding. It is not possible
to look graceful while walking in high heels on the soft sand.
So wear flat shoes or the best idea would be not to wear any
shoes at all! A casual yet classy hair style is better than
leaving your hair loose at a beach wedding.
· Remember to have your wedding license handy to give
to the person officiating the wedding.
And most important of all – have fun and cherish the memories
of your beach wedding forever!
