When planning your beach wedding some things need to be considered:
- It is essential that the correct beach permits and council approval are in order
- Give careful consideration to the wedding outfits for all of the bridal party. A veil and long wedding dress will get covered in sand
- Consider having a wrap on hand should it be needed
- A speaker system may be required to ensure you guests can hear the ceremony over the waves and general noise
- Check that any chairs are secured prior to people being seated
- You may consider wearing your hair up if it’s a windy day
- It always pays to have an area when people are coming off the sand that they can brush sand of their feet. Maybe supply a few soft brushes to assist.
- The sun can be glary, so ensure you have spare sunglasses for those who forget
- Most beaches are public. If you want complete privacy then consider renting a beachfront restaurant or an ocean view private estate.
- Check there are no public events happening in the near vicinity
- Have a backup plan as the weather can be unpredictable
- Have a box of thongs or slip on shoes for guests to slip into should they choose

A well-written post about things to consider while planning a beach wedding! Here, I would like to add that purchasing a personalized crate of beach flip-flops for your guests will also prove extremely advantageous to make walking on sand quite comfortable for them. Also, when the wedding venue is a pristine beach, do not feel complacent by hiring a DJ for the right kind of wedding music. Instead, you can hire a live wedding band to make your day a memorable one. In Sydney, many such bands have their own battery-powered PA systems to deliver a top-notch performance at a venue without any electrical outlet.
Thanks for your comment, really appreciate it and the additional comment about flip flops and yes a band is always great to set the scene, and there are certainly some great bands around.
