Expert Advice About Beach Wedding Planning And Destination Wedding Locations.
Are there any good sites that allow me to design my dress for free? Im having a beach wedding and want a simple dress…all the sites for dresses are too elegant. Help!
My stepson is planning a beach wedding in Florida next August. I am not very tolerant of the heat, so I would rather not wear a formal gown, but at the same time, I don’t want to be too informal for a wedding. My future step daugther in law will be wearing a traditional wedding dress and my step son wants to wear a tux (yes, a tux, in August, in Florida, on the beach!).
I know a lot of designers are catering to the informal destination wedding for bridal gowns. Does anyone know of any designers who are catering to these types of weddings for the mother of the bride/groom?
TB–I tried. They were in Florida a couple weeks ago scouting out resorts to have the wedding and the wedding coordinators tried to tell them too. They will hear nothing of it. They basically want to have a regular church wedding, but on a beach in Florida. And it’s their wedding…if he wants to spend it passed out from heat exhaustion, who am I to judge?
Hi,im going to a beach wedding in Florida,i was just wondering if you think this dress would be dressy enough for a wedding,but also appropriate for the weather,i also need to how i should do my hair,i have long blonde hair.I also need some advice on what shoes would look good,thanks!

Thanks for all of your answers!!!!They were all great and helpful!!!!!:):)
My fiance and I are at a disagreement about the destination of the wedding. We were going to do it on the beach of Cape Cod but I’m thinking that the Dress Blues with the Sword detail would be too formal for an informal location, but he seems to think it’ll look nice. I just can’t get a picture for it, so if anyone has any pictures or examples of a USMC Beach wedding in Full Dress Uniforms, please let me know. Or if you know of anyone that did it, then let me know how it looked. Thank you very much.
I’m maid of honor for my best friend who wants to get married in Hawaii, does anyone know of any good websites where we can look into packages and locations? She def wants a beach wedding and we are looking at about 50 people attending, so we also need hotels and all that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
She is planning to invite about 75, but of those 75, about 50 would definitly come, at the very least about 40. they both have huge families.
I was asked several weeks ago to be a bridesmaid in a friend’s simple beach wedding this summer. After accepting the invitation everything changed including location, date, theme, and attire SEVERAL times. With each change I’ve been stressed and helped her plan another wedding from sctratch. I was chastised through text messages for not purchasing my dress yet (the wedding is still 2 months away) by her fiance. She has changed the bridesmaid dress choice at least 4 times in the 6 weeks of planning. When I went to try on the most recent (and supposedly final) dress choice and realized that it was to be a "trashy" themed wedding I was appalled. The dress came only about 2 inches past my butt and was black and strapless with a leather corsette. I wouldn’t leave my bedroom in that. Am I wrong to refuse to dawn this prositute attire in favor of self respect and respect for my husband?
Do you think this dress would be ok for a beach wedding. I dont want anything really formal and thought about a sundress, but can’t find anything in white or ivory that i like. what do you think about this.

I should also let you know that I am a plus size, so J CREW and stuff like that doesn’t fit.

Thank you for all the supportive answers. I did tell her that I was not comfortable in it and she then showed me a series of 4 other dresses to choose from that were equally unsavory. She was very upset with me and I have been questioning my decision to speak up. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks that being a self-respecting woman is more important than being a good loyal (doormat) bridesmaid.
My boyfriend gave me a promise ring, but ever time that I bring up weddings, or us getting married, he kinda changes the subject. Why? I have told him I want a nice wedding, not something too expensive, and not something to simple ( like a beach wedding ). I want to be able to invite over all my family and I am mexican, so I have a lot of relatives. Could the expensises be scaring him away? But I am a girl… it is every girls dream to have a nice wedding, RIGHT???
I planned on a simple white gown for my beach wedding in Los Angeles early next year, but i have fallen in LOVE with a beautiful antique lace gown that is heavily beaded etc … im wondering if you think that a simple gown is best for a beach wedding or should i just go for the dress of my dreams??? thankyou :o)
Hello Everyone,
Well, Yesterday I posted a question about my stepsister, who gave out magnets of her husband and herself holding up "Thank You" signs at the wedding instead of sending thank you cards afterwards.
The majority of the feedback was the Thank You magnet was a cool idea, but should not be in lieu of a thank you card. Perhaps a cool favor, but not a replacement. I totally agree.
So, to go with my beach wedding, I think I’m going to try to take my fiance to the beach, get "Save the Date" signs and "Thank You" signs and have the two of us sit in beach chairs, attach the signs to the back of the beach chairs, and have pictures taken with us on the beach, looking out over the waves. I’ll do magnets with Save the Date and later send out the Thank You magnets with the thank you cards, after the wedding.
What do you think? If you attended a wedding where someone did a similar thing, what would your impression be?
I plan on buying this dress for a beach wedding this March. What do you think? What type of shoes would look okay with it? Heels are a no-no.

I am getting married in June. I am having a simple beach wedding using the color pool and some tropical colors in my flowers. I have some things for my tables but it’s missing something. Help me. What can I add. I have 2 different tables. One is with teal candle holders and one is with clear ones. I am going to mix them up. What can I add to these tables?Here is what I have so far. Now the table they are on isn’t the table we are using it will be a round table that sits 8. I also included a pic of the favors. A small box with tropical colored jelly beans.

I helped out with a wedding and she did floating candles. There is no way i am doing them. They are a disaster. They all kept falling over and going out.
I thought about going to the store the day of and buying some fresh flowers and putting them on the table. Like cutting the tips off but leave about 3 inches of the stem.
putting flowers in the vases is not an option. I can’t afford to pay a florist. I’m trying to make it as nice as possible with my budget.
So far I spent about a table. If that. Each candle was and I bought ribbon to put on them and each candle holder was . the vases were a piece and the sand was a couple dollars a bag and so were the shells. Trying to keep in budget.
what if I add something like this?

well the bow is already attached to the boxes. I may try the stamp idea though.
