Learn from my ex-friend's mistakes and throw yourself a GREAT beach wedding... CS Having attended a nightmare beach FORMAL wedding I do recommend a couple of thing:
1 ) pay for tents for the guests because there will always be some elderly relative (or fair skinned curvy beauty) who shows up and then literally melts before your eyes, spare them the direct rays of the sun since you are already paid to feed them;
2) encourage dressing down for both guests and wedding party because when you say dress formal people will do so and then they will end up with heels sinking into the sand or elderly relatives will be trying to get sand out of 1922 era spats;
3) Consider the hour of the day you schedule this…I say late afternoon to evening to avoid the heat of the day and the potential bad combo of too much alcohol and too much sun making for a vomitous wedding;
4) If you install a “dance floor” in the middle of the sand” make sure its not METAL, metal heats up with the sun and you can imagine what fun that is for your guests to burn the bottoms of their feet at your wedding;
4) if you opt for sunniest part of the day do slather on the suncreen for you, your loved one and everyone else at the party (make it available to guests who forgot) because the wedding I went to that particular bride left her own wedding with sun blisters and really that’s not sexy at all and not the memory you are looking to generate.

Learn from my ex-friend’s mistakes and throw yourself a GREAT beach wedding…

Simple, fun, fabulous. Unfortunately, my husband would never go for it. He'd be underneath an umbrella the whole time slathering on sunscreeen to keep from being broiled alive. Cynthia, I’m with you.
