Have you ever pictured yourself gliding barefoot down a sandy aisle, ocean glistening in the distance, a soft sea breeze gently tousling your hair, feeling content and chilled while surrounded by your favourite people?

It sounds perfect… right up until someone forgets the sunscreen, your nan gets heat stroke, and that gentle breeze turns into a storm-force gale that rips your floral display clean off your ceremony arch. 

There’s nothing wrong with having a beach wedding. But what you need to come to terms with is that you have control over next to nothing in that setting.

Because here’s the real secret: the most amazing beach weddings aren’t the ones where nothing went wrong—they’re the ones where the couple had prepared as much as they possibly could, and then accepted that a few surprises were coming, and chose to laugh, breathe, and roll with it.

So today, I’m going to chat through the not-so-glamorous (but absolutely manageable) realities of beach ceremonies and 9 of my best tips for sidestepping high tide, dehydration, and sandfly-bitten limbs.
