Spring/Summer Wedding: Beach Edition

Among the many beautiful places to get married, it is difficult to settle on one.  Here are some reasons why we absolutely adore beach wedding venues.  And of course, a few SHOEspirations to complete your perfect day! 

1.  You can make it a destination wedding

Perhaps you're lucky enough to live by a gorgeous waterside setting, but if not, your beach wedding will likely be a destination wedding.  And that can be a great thing!  

Welcome your guests at the rehearsal dinner and let the official wedding celebrations begin.  Pair your dress for the evening with comfortable satin sandals.

2.  It's a great location for an intimate wedding

A destination wedding usually translates to a smaller wedding since most guests have to take vacation days and book travel.  And when guests travel to a destination wedding, it says a lot about how much they care about the couple.  

It's a great opportunity to roll out the red carpet (think: budgeting for welcome bags and fancy favors) for your dearest friends and family!

Speaking of fancy favors - our comfy faux fur slide would be a great bridesmaid gift.  Also perfect for the bride as well to slip on while getting ready and can be worn any time after the big day.

3.  The wedding package may be all-inclusive

If you book your beach wedding through a resort, there's a good chance an all-inclusive wedding package will be available.  This could be in-house food, flowers, music, makeup and more.  All of which can make for less stress - and more beach time!

When choosing your wedding shoes, our advice would be to wear flats, especially when your ceremony takes place on the sandy beach.  

Our satin flat sandal with ankle strap is classy and comfortable to wear down the aisle.

4.  It can double as your honeymoon destination

If you pick a perfect beach destination for your wedding, why leave once you've said your I Do's?  Book the honeymoon suite and once your guests have left, you and your new spouse can relax and recharge without having to repack your suitcases.

Dance the night away or stroll around town in these elegant flat sandals with pearl and rhinestone ornaments.  It's all the pretty things!

A beach wedding is perfect for an easy going couple.  Who can get stressed when the waves are lapping at your feet?  Heck, brides can even get away with bare feet.  Grooms can go without bowties.  Your guests can kick off their flip flops and wiggle their toes in the sand.  Plus, nothing compares to the picturesque ceremony shared with your loved ones.
