We all heard about the many benefits of having a beach wedding. The fact that it’s romantic, different, and fun makes it one of the most favorite wedding themes. However, before you start preparing for a beach wedding, you should also be aware of some of the disadvantages of beach weddings.
Humidity
Beach weddings are most ideal when held during summer when the sky is always blue and the sun is always up. But there’s one thing that can ruin a perfect summer beach wedding and that’s humidity. There are times when it gets too hot that you don’t even want to get out of the house.
There are guests who’d rather stay indoors than be out in the sun especially when it’s too humid outside specifically the beach. You don’t want you or your guests to get all sweaty during the ceremony.
Strong winds
Another major disadvantage of beach weddings is strong winds. You should already expect this being outdoors and at the beach to be exact. There are times when you feel everything is calm then suddenly it gets really windy. Before you knew it your hairdo is ruined and so are your guests’.
Distance
Unless you’re living near the ocean, you will find it hard to have a beach wedding if you live hours away from the nearest beach. It’s tiring to travel especially before your wedding day. There’s too much stress with all the wedding preparations and the last thing you’ll need is for you to travel hours away. Your guests may also find it very troublesome to travel more so if they’re bringing along their children.
Price
Whether you’re planning to have your beach wedding in a private island or in a private beach you have to prepare a big amount of money to cover for your venue alone.
These are just some of the disadvantages of beach weddings. The good news is you can actually prevent them if you plan ahead and find the best venue for your wedding.

Favors are supposed to be a small token of thanks to guests. Summer wedding favors can be anything that fits into your wedding. Choose something simple that fits into the mood and theme of your wedding. When looking at any favor, think about ways that you can make the item personal. You should have some reference to the wedding on the item. It might just be the date, but try to get the favor customized.
Summer wedding flowers
One of the nicest things about having a wedding in the summer is the flowers. Summer wedding flowers can be anything from morning glories to the more traditional roses.
Flowers are often less expensive in the warmer months, and it is easier to get big quantities of flowers and in more varieties. For this reason, many summer wedding centerpieces feature large arrangements of flowers.
If you are planning to have a small ceremony, your outdoor wedding ideas for summer might include a service at a local botanical garden. Perhaps there is a historical landmark or building nearby that will permit you to use their grounds.
Many homes that have been turned into small museums or art galleries are more than happy to open their doors to small weddings. Many are even willing to close the doors to the public, if you plan to have the service on a weekend or in their off hours.
Summer wedding ideas are numerous and everyone’s view of the perfect day is different. Just remember that there is no wrong when planning a wedding. It is your day. You decide. After all, it is your wedding!
