Beach Wedding Essentials

by CatalinaC Forbes Posted on

Beach weddings are all fun and pretty smiles when you look back at it, but a lot of work goes into making it perfect, and we have a few must dos when it comes to a beach wedding.

Lighting

When one thinks of a beach wedding, the first idea that pops to mind is a dreamy Maldives island wedding at resorts the likes of Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas. The main rule to follow for the best wedding pictures is, lighting. Natural lighting is what you have to depend on at an outdoor wedding, therefore, time your wedding just right. Also, you can always have lights strung above the wedding if you don’t want to exchange your vows at noon.

Make it fun

People love dressing up for weddings, and that means shoes. But, nobody wants to walk around with sandy footwear, so make it fun for the guests by giving a shoes optional invite.

Photography

This is a win at beach weddings unless the winds decide to blow harder during the shoot. Regardless, the pictures almost always end up looking amazing because of the panoramic scenery around.

Table Deco

Be it a canopied event or just plain outdoor beach weddings, the table decorations can amp the whole beach vibe if you choose right.

With numerous romantic locations, the Bali offers the ideal setting for an unforgettable wedding celebration, be it a traditional Balinese ceremony or an intimate western-style reception. You can even choose from the venues and locations offered by reputed resorts such as Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali.

 

Initial Stages
Once the budget, the destination, where to stay, how to get there and who is attending the wedding has been decided on, other details such as the best time for weddings in Bali, the type of reception and where to spend the honeymoon can receive attention.

 

Beach weddings
There are many beautiful beach destinations in Bali and of course, finding a great one is not a challenge at all. You have the option of choosing either a daytime wedding with the golden sun beaming upon you or a sunset wedding and a reception under the stars.

 

Garden weddings
Garden weddings are an excellent choice as Bali is blessed with a tropical climate that allows for lush vegetation. Tropical gardens make for a great opportunity for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. Of course, evening time is the best time to plan a garden wedding in Bali where you can make use of traditional lanterns, fairy lights, votive candles and of course, the moonlight to create a magical event that you nor your guests will forget.

 

Weddings atop a cliff
If it has always been a dream to get married across a cliff, then Bali is the right place. A wedding atop a cliff is guaranteed to be a dramatic and unforgettable affair, especially when teamed with the island’s signature warm climate and stunning beach backdrops.

Wedding Planning

Do some research on the internet and go through bridal, fashion, lifestyle and food magazines among others for inspiration on the wedding dress, bridesmaids dresses, venue and the kind of celebration to have. The next step is to pick the attendants, if having any, as early possible.

Wedding Venue

Evaluate wedding and honeymoon packages offered by hotels in Sentosa. Request quotations from some likely venues and compare prices and what is included in the wedding package, their offers on accommodation for guests if required and the honeymoon package. There’s a myriad of event venues in Singapore in hotels such as Park Hotel Alexandra.

Size of Celebration

Prepare a budget for the celebration as this will determine the scale of the celebration and number of guests. Set a date and time for the wedding. This is also the time to decide on the type of celebration, whether it is going to be a wedding breakfast, an afternoon event or an evening reception with dinner and dancing and whether the ambience will tend towards the casual or formal.

Special services

Special services include providing party favours for guests, printing and sending out wedding invitations, wedding gifts for the couple and discounted room rates for family and friends, a tea ceremony in the bridal suite and a food tasting for a party of ten prior to menu selection.

Many resorts offer the services of very experienced wedding planners who on meeting and getting to know the couple expertly understand and offer a ceremony package that is perfect for their tastes and expectations.

There are no ‘off seasons’

The best honeymoon memories

Choosing the country for your wedding means you need not visit any other location for a dream honeymoon. The stunning scenery around the beaches and rustic fisher villages are quite romantic while cycle tours into the countryside and excursions to ancient coastal temples promise to add more than a touch of magic to your wedding.

Destination weddings are the IN thing these days and celebrating your wedding and you’re the start of your Happily-ever-after on a serene tropical island is one of the most popular things to do!

Know before you go

Although it may seem completely romantic, you cannot legally get married in Maldives. Couples would need to get legally married in their hometown, and head over to the islands to celebrate their love, as only residents of Maldives are permitted to get legally married here.

Which island?

Choosing islands can be extremely hard. Therefore, your next best thing would be to choose the resort instead. Options for a honeymoon resort in Maldives are abundant, with properties such as Kandolhu Maldives offering many packages for newlyweds!

Beach or garden

Depending on your resort, you will have the option of choosing either a beach side wedding or a garden wedding. Beach side weddings are highly recommended as the pure white sands and the mesmerizing electric blue waters will look absolutely stunning in your wedding photographs!

Other activities

Your resort will also go to an extra length to organise a variety of romantic excursions or experiences if requested. From sunset cruises to private island dining getaways, kick back and get ready to have the ideal island wedding.
