Do you remember this beautiful couple from a previous rustic mountain wedding shoot? The two tied the knot on the sandy beaches of Cancun, and Aldabella Photography captured every gorgeous detail! Keep scrolling to see more details plus a few suggestions on how to make your destination beach wedding as unforgettable as theirs.
1. Choose The Perfect Hotel
Once you’ve chosen a destination, the next step to a fabulous beach wedding is finding the ideal hotel. Is a kids-friendly hotel better suited for your guests? Will all your events be on-site or close to the hotel? Do you prefer an adults-only hotel? Conduct a thorough comparison of all your options to make the best decision.
2. Send a Handwritten Letter
Exchange handwritten letters as the two of you are getting ready to share a few thoughts privately before the ceremony. It’s a sweet gesture the two of you will love and cherish!
3. Get Ready With Your Maids
Have some fun getting ready with your maids in matching robes!
4. Take Photos Before the Ceremony
Sneak away for a first look and to take photos in secret before the ceremony. You both will appreciate spending some alone time together!
5. Keep the Guest List Small
It’s likely your full guest list may not be able to attend a destination wedding, but it’s perfect if you’re wanting a smaller event surrounded by close family and friends.
6. Go Breezy and Bright for Bridesmaid Dresses
Dress bridesmaids in bright and breezy dresses that will pop against the brilliant white beach. Cute barefoot sandals are great for walking in the sand!
7. Rock The Perfect Wedding Dress
Whether you love a traditional dress or a more modern look, stay true to your style! This beautiful bride stunned in a lace-adorned chapel train gown.
8. Keep It Casual
You can always keep it casual at the beach! The groom and groomsmen wore crisp white shirts with khakis and comfortable matching sneakers.
9. Incorporate Elegant Decor
Use the beach as your main focal point and pair it with simple yet elegant decor. This couple filled gold photo frames with photos of them at each table alongside candle centerpieces and flower petals.
10. Party With Your Guests
What’s more fun than having a huge beach party with all your guests? Share the happiness with your closest family and friends and party the night away!
