Southern California Beach Wedding Tips

By Christopher Bell


Getting married is a major event in one's life and many people want to make it as memorable as possible. Some desire to create their dream scenario of a romantic ceremony with the Pacific Ocean as a sparkling backdrop. When planning a beautiful Southern California beach wedding, there are a few things that one should know to make the experience an unforgettable one.

The beautiful sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean at sunset is an incredibly popular setting for marriage ceremonies, it is best to start getting things planned and confirmed as early as possible. Although there are several wonderful venue options available, booking tends to fill up quickly. There are some restrictions that may also have an impact on which locations will work for a particular couple.

Beaches tend to be mostly public access so it can be a bit challenging to find a private area, which is one reason venue choice is key. A particular location may have the exclusive sandy section desired or be able to provide a ceremonial space that has a lovely view of the ocean. Other things that might influence one's options could be special requests or needs, catering specifics and guest count.

If the ceremony is to actually take place on the sand, it is very important to make sure all guests are made aware of this. The knowledge will allow them the opportunity to choose clothing and shoes that is more appropriate for this setting. The locations should also factor into the bride's choice when selecting her gown and footwear, which should perhaps be less formal than traditional options.

As an extra measure to make guests as comfortable as possible at the location in concern for both the sand and the glaring sun, there are a few amenities that could be offered. Shoe valets, where people can exchange their dressy footwear for event customized flip flops, and designated areas to brush their feet off afterwards are very convenient and considerate. Providing hats, visors or sunglasses to shield their eyes is another great option.

Though the area is known for its perfect weather, it does occasionally rain or become windy. It is always advisable to have some sort of back up plan in place whenever an outdoor event is desired. For this reason, most venues actually have indoor spaces, shelters, tents or affordable rental contacts, that are available for emergencies.

Having excessive decorations may be going a bit overboard since it is hard to top the beauty of the Pacific Ocean as a background. Generally speaking, simple seat covers, and arches or chuppahs with minimal adornment are the perfect way to frame the bridal party against the setting. Floral arrangements are best limited to just a few bouquets on solid pedestals or small accent pieces on chairs along the aisle.

Ceremonies of this nature, although quite personal, also need to be considered as business transactions. Disappointment may be avoided simply by taking time to carefully read each contract from vendors, venue, caterers and planners prior to signing them. One should not forget to verify with all coordinators that each applicable permits has been properly attained.
