Tips for Planning a Beach Wedding

You can’t make a wedding backdrop more beautiful than the Charleston beaches!

A beach wedding in Charleston is unforgettable. Let us help you make sure that it’s unforgettable for the views and not for these common mistakes.

Season

First, consider the time of year that you are planning your wedding. While you may think a beach wedding means summer, remember that summer in Charleston can be very hot and humid. Try to avoid the hottest months such as July and August and consider a late spring, early summer or fall date instead.

Still unsure what time of year is best? Send us a few dates that you’re considering, and we can advise what would be the most beautiful time in Charleston!

Time of Day

Next, choose the time of day wisely. The time of day affects the tide, weather and lighting for photography.

Avoid high tide to ensure that there’s enough sandy beach to even have a wedding.

Mid-day is very bright & sunny which can make photos difficult and your guests uncomfortable in the highest heat of the day. Not to mention, a Charleston beach on a summer afternoon will be filled with crowds. Consider a sunrise or sunset wedding for more mild weather and dreamy photos.

Make Guests Comfortable

While you may be planning a short ceremony, most likely your guests will be arriving early and sticking around after the ceremony for photos. Ensure that your guests stay comfortable throughout the wedding with ceremony chairs delivered and set up by our team.

Additionally, remember that a beach weddings consist of walking on uneven sand and possibly a long walk from the car. Our team can help find a beach ceremony location with easy access but keep in mind your guests when choosing the beach over a more accessible location.

Add Decor

The beauty of the beach requires little to no decor however, don’t be afraid to personalize it to you and your future spouse! Consider adding an arbor or additional real florals which can be setup by our team.

Note that beaches are often public and you may be sharing the beach with others. Ceremony chairs or an arbor are a great way to mark your ceremony location for guests!

Lastly, make sure to double check if your decor is beach-friendly. Disposable decor such as fake flower petals, confetti and glass are not allowed on Charleston beaches. Real flowers petals are recommended if you want something to drop down the aisle.

A Modern Twist on Wedding Traditions

A Modern Twist on Wedding Traditions

In the 1800’s, wedding ceremonies were mainly conducted in churches followed by a small reception at the bride’s parents home.  In the early 1900’s, sleeveless dresses would have been considered inappropriate, but anything goes today.  Every decade wedding traditions tend to evolve and customization is the key for couples today. This is getting harder with todays busy lifestyle. We have listed a few ways to shop for your wedding online.

The Bling

Did you know you don’t even have to leave your home to rent your wedding attire?  Yes, you heard me right.  This is a great way to ensure the bridal party has that great look, even when they live all across the country. Be sure to check out Generation Tux and contact us for your discount code.

 

Centerpieces and Décor

Reynolds Treasures Decoration I’ll bet the first place you look to get wedding décor idea’s is Pinterest.  Well, if you haven’t seen the show “Nailed It”, you may want to consider watching!  While many of the decorations look wonderful, implementing them can be a challenge.  In addition, after your wedding, what do you do with your decorations?  Many try to sell them, but that too can be a challenge, not to mention all of the time that went into buying the supplies and making the decorations.  We recommend renting your décor centerpieces or purchasing floral for your big day.  Don’t know what to do with all of the floral after?  Be thoughtful and ask your wedding planner to donate it to a local retirement/nursing home.
