News with Maya - How to Plan the Perfect Beach Wedding Ceremony

About this video

Destination beach wedding tips can make the difference between a ceremony that looks beautiful in photos and one that feels amazing in real life.

Beach weddings are timeless, romantic, and naturally stunning—but they come with unique considerations. Timing is everything. Midday ceremonies can mean intense sun and heat, so we recommend planning your beach wedding ceremony for late afternoon or just before sunset. This not only creates a more comfortable experience for guests, but also delivers that dreamy golden-hour lighting for photos.

When it comes to attire, lighter is better. Brides should look for breathable fabrics like chiffon, organza, or tulle that move gracefully in the ocean breeze. Structured gowns and heavy fabrics can feel uncomfortable on the sand. Footwear matters too—barefoot sandals, wedges, or flats are far more practical than heels.

Guests should dress with the setting in mind. Lightweight linens, cottons, tropical prints, and relaxed silhouettes help everyone stay cool and comfortable. Hairstyles should be soft and natural, makeup should be minimal with a strong setting spray, and décor should enhance—not compete with—the ocean backdrop.

Beach weddings offer incredible beauty, but thoughtful planning ensures comfort, great photos, and a relaxed atmosphere. These details help couples avoid common beach-day challenges while embracing everything the setting offers.

At Romance Travel Group, destination weddings are all we do. We help couples choose the right beach resort, ceremony location, and timing so their seaside “I do” feels effortless from start to finish.

Good afternoon everyone. In today's top story, we're talking beach weddings. The timeless dream of saying I do with your toes in the sand and the sound of waves behind you. But while a seaside ceremony looks effortlessly romantic, there are a few insider tips to help you pull it off flawlessly. First, let's talk timing. Midday sun can be harsh, so we recommend scheduling your ceremony in the late afternoon or just before sunset. Not only will your guests thank you for the cooler breeze, but your photos will glow in that golden hour light. Now, what about the dress? Brides, think light. Airy fabrics that move beautifully in the breeze, like chiffon, oranza, or tulle. A flowing silhouette is your best friend here. Elegant without being heavy. And when it comes to shoes, consider barefoot sandals, wedges, or stylish flats. Heels and sand don't mix. For guests, keep it cool and coastal. Lightweight linens, breathable cotton, and tropical prints are perfect choices. Gentlemen can skip the tie, and ladies, flowy midi dresses or jumpsuits pair perfectly with sandals or wedges. A few quick pro tips from our romance travel group team. Keep hairstyles soft and natural. Think loose waves or chic updo that won't compete with the wind. Use minimal makeup with a strong setting spray to stay fresh under the sun. And finally, choose decor that complent the scenery. Think natural textures, pastel florals, and soft draping that lets the ocean shine as your backdrop. Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, a beach wedding offers the ultimate blend of beauty and serenity.
