The Pros and Cons of a Beach Wedding

When planning a wedding, the location always comes in mind. Where will you have the wedding? Will have you it on your backyard or on a chapel? What about having it on a beach? Choosing the beach as a location will surely surprise the kids. Well, who would not like to go and enjoy the beach? However, before you choose this place as your location, you have to know its pros and cons. This article will help you in that matter.

Pros of a Beach Wedding:

• Cheaper. You don't need to pay the venue if you will have your big day on a beach. The beach is a public place (unless you will go to a private beach) and thus, you are free to use it. Moreover, with a beach wedding, there is no need to spend a fortune on the wedding decorations. Simple decorations would do.

• Relaxed atmosphere. The beach is a very relaxing place. The sand and the breeze can relieve any burden that a person might be carrying. Kids won't feel bored in anyway because they can play around while the ceremony is going on.

• The same venue for the ceremony and reception. If you will celebrate your marriage the traditional way, you will have the ceremony at the church and then the reception at a hotel or at your house. The rent of the hotel is another expense. However, that would no longer be an issue if you will have a beach wedding. After the ceremony, you can have the reception on the same spot as well.

Cons of a Beach Wedding:

• The weather is unpredictable. Due to the global warming, weather is already unpredictable. Even if it is summer, there is still a chance that it will rain. Therefore, you have to be prepared for any unexpected elements. Take tents, umbrellas and hats with you as these can save you regardless if the weather is too hot or if it is raining.

• Beach rules. Every beach has rules that must be followed. Make sure to check the rules of your preferred location to ensure that you will not violate any. There are some beaches that don't allow any alcoholic drinks within their premises. Check your preferred beach to see the things that are allowed and those that are prohibited.

Every location has its own pros and cons. If you are planning to have a beach wedding, make sure that you will consider the pros and cons that are outlined in this article.
