On average, there are over 2 million weddings in the U.S. each year<\/a>. That means there are a lot of weddings to plan! While some people opt for a simple courthouse ceremony or a backyard event with family and friends, others go all-out. Things like barn weddings, country club weddings, and even traditional church weddings are all still popular in their own right.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many people opt to have a beachside wedding due to its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and uniqueness<\/strong>. It\u2019s easy to think about a walk along the beach at sunset for a romantic date or getaway<\/a> (no matter where you are in the world!), but when it comes to planning your wedding around the beach, there are some pros and cons<\/strong> to consider.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your big day shouldn\u2019t be stressful because of the location<\/strong> you choose. With that in mind, let\u2019s look at some of the benefits and potential drawbacks of a beachside wedding before you decide whether it\u2019s right for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro: A Naturally-Beautiful Backdrop for Any Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest draws to having a beachside wedding is the natural beauty<\/strong>. It takes very little decorating or \u201cpreparing\u201d the space to make it look great. With that, you can save money, since you\u2019ll have to worry less about creating a big budget for decorations<\/strong>. You can also use the beach as both your ceremony and reception area by utilizing a large tent; no need to have your guests travel to another venue for food, drinks, and dancing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, if you get married in a more tropical location or in a Mediterranean climate such as Griechenland<\/a> oder Portugal<\/a>, you can have your wedding any time of the year. There are plenty of ideas regarding the best month to get married<\/a>, but if you don\u2019t want to wait, you can enjoy warm, beachside temperatures even during the winter when you choose a warm destination.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con: The Risks of Being Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, you can\u2019t control the weather. Weddings take an average of 13-18 months to plan<\/a>, and the one thing you can\u2019t plan for is harsh sun, rain, wind, or even a higher tide than you expected. On bright, sunny days, you might be putting yourself and your guests at risk for UV exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to have both a backup plan <\/strong>for inclement weather and a way to keep your guests safe. A tent or enclosed location is a great solution for rain or wind. Having sunscreen and sunglasses available for both UV protection of the skin and protection for the eyes<\/a> would be a good idea, and they can also serve as cute party favors for guests to take home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
