There really is no private beach in Texas, however
we own land that is located on the north end of south padre away from
any buildings or traffic and we set up our weddings in full view of
the waters edge.
Consider the Weather
You’ll also want to take the weather into consideration. It might be a
beautiful day, but for some reason, the ocean inspires wind. If you
feel your dress or veil will blow around, you’ll probably want to
consider other options. If you’re wearing a hat, make sure it’s pinned
securely. It may also be a little chilly depending on the time of day
and the month of the year. A strapless number during sundown in late
September may not ward off the chill.
Flowers
Simple tropical blooms are fun on the beach. If you’re afraid you
couldn’t carry a floral bouquet with a more casual frock, you can rest
assured this isn’t the case at all. Flowers are most definitely
welcome, though a simpler bouquet might be in order. Try a few long
stemmed white roses or lilies tied with a blue satin ribbon (for your
“something blue”) or carry a small round bouquet or basket filled with
daisies, lilies or roses. Flowers are the perfect complement to a
beach wedding dress!
Convenience
One of the selling points of beach wedding dresses is that they don’t
take as long as a more formal gown to order. This is good news for a
couple who plan a short engagement. In many cases, they can be
purchased “off the rack.” Alterations are usually minimal and in most
cases, not even required.
Romance
If a romantic destination ceremony is your idea of the perfect wedding
backdrop, consider a casual but elegant wedding on the beach. With the
perfect dress and the perfect man, the only thing left to order is the
perfect sunset.
