The Pros and Cons of Hosting a Beach Wedding

For many future newlyweds on Long Island, a beach wedding is a dream come true! What more could you want other than surf, sand, sunshine, and your loved ones all together at once? While the beach dream might be an excellent idea, there are also some downsides to a nautical wedding, too. If you’re not sure whether or not you’d like to tie the knot by the sea, here are some things to consider:


Pro: Picture Perfect “Venue”
One of the biggest perks of a beach wedding, especially if you’re a fan of the water, is that your wedding will be picture perfect (if the weather holds up, but we’ll get to that shortly)! Think about it, instead of walking down a marble floor to meet your love and wedding officiator at the end of the aisle, you’ll be walking down an aisle of warm sand and seashells!

Con: Weather Might Not Be Great
Since you typically have to plan a wedding far in advance, you never know what Mother Nature will have in store for you that day. Even if your big day happens to be over the summer, there’s a strong chance that a thunderstorm might roll in when you least expect it. And if you’ve ever caught at the beach during a shower, then you know it’s quite an uncomfortable experience (imagine how you’ll feel in a gown or tuxedo)! 

Pro: Attire Can Be Laid Back
Although it’s your wedding day and there aren’t any official rules, it might seem strange to walk down the aisle of your local indoor wedding venue sans shoes. However, when you have a beach wedding, nothing is off limits! Whether you’re looking to go barefoot or wear a beach-friendly dress or tuxedo, the beach will be the perfect place to do it!

Con: Not Much Shade
Say the weather on the day of your wedding is stunning, but the sun is powerful — where will you find shade? Unless you’re opting to have a tent set up by a rental company or purchase umbrellas for every attendee at your wedding, it might seem challenging to do. An extremely blaring sun can cause discomfort and even sunburns if your guests aren’t prepared for the sun’s rays.
