Depending on the time of day your festivities take place, you may use candles, tiki torches or paper lanterns to light your path as you make your way towards your future husband.

Beach Bride Hair and Makeup

One beauty of the island wedding is what it does for your beauty - it highlights it! You may not want to skip out on a makeup artist, but you don't need to overdo it on the makeup. If the weather will be hot and humid your makeup may melt and crack if its layered on thick. Discuss light, natural looking makeup ideas, products and colors with your makeup artist ahead of time.

beach wedding Dresses

Do you have a dream gown in mind? Because if you do, don't give up on that dream gown even if it doesn't seem to fit into a beach wedding scenario. Yes, this is your special day and one you will only get to live through once so live it out just the way you have always dreamt it!

There are many dresses geared towards the beach bound bride and those gowns have their benefits. They are usually made of light fabrics and shorter in length than traditional gowns, which eliminates the need for a volunteer to hold a long train as you trek through sand, which will undoubtedly surround you. You also won't need to worry as much about your dress being ruined if you'll be getting wet as you strike playful poses at the shore.

What you wear is completely up to you, don't let your wedding destination determine your dress! Don't forget to pair your perfect dress with a pair of flip flops, flats, low heels or your own two bare feet, dresses up with a toe ring or two!

Now that you know where to start with planning your beach wedding all that's left to do is apply these tips - then get ready to ride off into the sunset.
