Planning A Beach Themed Wedding

The sand, the sounds, the smell of the beach: Is there anything as beautiful, or as romantic? Perhaps this is why you have chosen a beach wedding. Still, planning a beach themed wedding may seem like a great idea, but you must always remember your budget.

Chances are, even if you were able to do so, getting a private part of an oceanic beach would definitely hurt your wallet. Then there is the matter of the tides, and the weather, and proximity to mood-rending constructions like high-traffic roads and power lines. Not to fret though, there are scores of things you can do to recreate that sandy setting.

Many public lakes often have sandy beaches, particularly at camping sites so if you are adamant about the water and sand as physical things, then this would be your way to go.

But planning a beach themed wedding doesn’t actually have to involve the ocean, you could rent a gazebo or even us a large yard and use some simulation techniques.

The sound is the easiest to simulate. The waves rolling on the sandy shore, seagulls in the air, and a nice cool breeze can be easily remade with some decent rented speakers and an atmosphere cd you can find at Wal-Mart or other such stores for around 6 dollars or so. Perhaps a large fan as well.

The smell of course is harder. Try a local new age shop or cd store. They often have scented candle, incense, and oils that will do the trick.

The sand is easy. A funny approach would be a sand box, or you can by sand by the bag at a Menards or a general retailer.

Then all you need are some seashells, perhaps some fake starfish, all are easy to get. Just do not forget the beach balls!

As you can see, planning a beach themed wedding even if you can’t actually be at the ocean is easy.   You may not have an oceanic beach, but wait until sunset and follow the tips above, and can create a memorable day.
