| Planning Your Beach Wedding There is no “right” or “wrong” way to plan a beach front wedding. It can be large, small, romantic, whimsical or even downright goofy...the choice is completely up to you and your ideas! There is certainly nothing that should dissuade you from your vision of a beautiful beachside ceremony. As a matter of fact, there are many benefits that will make your wedding day a wonderful and joyous event. A beach wedding can be much cheaper than a traditional wedding. It is said that the average budget for a traditional wedding is between $20,000 to $30,000! A beach wedding can be a casual affair. It allows everyone to relax. Your guests can dress comfortably and affordably. The wedding ceremony and reception can be held right on the beach. No need to travel to different locations! A beach wedding allows you to involve everyone in the activities. Guests are not restricted to sitting quietly in their seats. A beach wedding is a modern and refreshing change from the traditional wedding. It allows your creativity and personality to come through. If you dream of a wonderful day on the shores of Northern Michigan, think about one thing... “Mother Nature” rules! Depending on her mood, she can brighten your day or rain on your parade. When planning your celebration be sure to arrange an alternate location should the weather turn bad. If every hair is not in place due to the bay breezes or a last minute snafu with the bouquet happens, remember...these are not imperfections in you day...they are special “memories”!
