How to plan the perfect Beach Wedding

Planning a wedding is difficult enough and if you are planning to tie the knot outdoors on a beach, there are a few important things that you need to consider. Apart from organizing accommodation for everyone (if the beach you are getting married at is far from where you live), you also need to consider council regulations for the event. Here, we've got a list of tips to help make it easier and to help you check all the boxes for a seamless, beautiful beach wedding day.

• Time of year-Of course, if you are getting married on a beach, you need to ensure you get married in the warmer months to help boost the chances of a sunny day. If however if does rain on the day of your wedding, you need to have a plan for either shelter on the beach such as a marque that can be easily set up, or an alternative nearby location for the ceremony. Leave nothing to chance.
• Check with the council-Some councils actually require you to pay a fee and others may even ask you to book the area. This could be very important especially if you are getting married in an area where lots of people take their vows. Bookings in some beach locations is essential as is obtaining a permit from the local council. 
• Making sure you and your groom are comfortable-This is the biggest day of your life and the last thing you need is to trip over your dress on the sand. Make sure that you can move around in what you wear. A large, traditional gown doesn't suit a beach wedding and can also lead to disaster. Similarly for the groom, make sure that he has the correct style of suit. There's no point in wearing a wool suit in the middle of Summer, a cotton blend is best.
• Making sure your guests are comfortable- Because you are getting married on the beach, make sure you keep the dress code cocktail or even more casual. This will ensure that people once again feel comfortable to walk on the sand and be apart of the ceremony. 
• Seating and access-If you have elderly or disabled guests, you may want to make sure that you have wheelchair access and a place specifically for them where they can be seated comfortably to see the ceremony. This may be as easy as providing a row of chairs at the front. Have a relative in charge of organizing this to ensure you don't have to worry about it on the day. 
• Accommodation: If there are many family and friends that will be staying somewhere near the beach, there are many hotels and different types of accommodation that offer discounted group rates so don't forget to inquire about this.
