The ultimate beach wedding

Every little girl dreams of the perfect wedding. In a little white chapel, with white doves and the perfect white weddingdress. But some have other plans: what about beach wedding on a tropical island? And what to wear?

Getting married on a beach can be really romantic, but there are a lot of things you have to consider before planning a beach wedding. How many people are you going to invite and how will they get there? Are you going to pay for they stay? What about food and drinks? Are you going to hire a local band? And most important of all: get yourself advised on the raining season! The best thing to do is to go to one of those agencies that can help you plan your trip. And don’t forget ask others about their experiences.

What to wear?
There a broad choice in beach wedding dresses, from a simple summer dress to a long dress complete with veil. There are two things to consider: the climate and what is appropriate to wear. You won’t be comfortable wearing a long sleeved dress on Hawaii. But a bikini might be a bit inappropriate, especially when you have a religious wedding. If you will be wearing a veil, watch the length, you don’t want to be sweeping sand all the time! The best colour for a beach dress is traditional white. If you got a tan, it will make you look great and a big plus is that is keeps you cool since white reflects light.
You can wear whatever shoes you want, but remember that you are going to be walking on sand. Don’t wear heels! Don’t forget to think about your bridal lingerie. A corset is probably to hot for a wedding on a tropical island.
