A Fall Beach Wedding: Smart or Not So Much?

Although, in much of the country, we’re still experiencing temperatures very close to that of molten lava, it will soon be hoodie weather and time for bonfires and our favorite boots. Are you a soon-to-be bride with her heart set on a fall beach wedding? Are you worried that it might be more of a nuisance than a celebration when it comes to your guests’ comfort? Here are some tips for the perfect fall beach wedding!

Provide Blankets to Stop the Chill

If you’re worried your guests will be a little too chilly during your fall beach wedding celebration, offer up small blankets for them to use. These adorable throws are often available for just a few dollars each, and they also make a wonderful wedding favor.

Offer Up Warm and Delicious Treats

Allow your guests to warm themselves during your reception with a delicious and fun hot chocolate bar. Go with vintage mugs or paper cups, and provide all the extras they could want. This is a great way to battle the chill from a fall beach wedding ceremony.

Rent a Tent

For a more intimate wedding ceremony, rent a tent with sides that block the wind. This will allow your guests to enjoy the beauty of your fall wedding without catching a chill! It’s also a wonderful way to have a “plan B” in the event of rain during your ceremony.

Have an Indoor Reception

Finally, if you’re planning to have a gorgeous fall beach wedding ceremony, plan an indoor reception. This will keep your guests from being exposed to the weather for an extended period of time, and will give them the chance to warm up and enjoy the festivities. A beautiful beach-side hotel or bed and breakfast is a wonderful way to keep your reception and ceremony venues very close and gives you the best of both worlds!
