Traditional wedding ceremonies are already obsolete.
Why should you have a wedding in a church when you can have it on a beach in the sunset? If you want a relaxed, tropical and exotic event, a vintage beach wedding is perfect for you.
The retro style fits with the beach theme, because they are both romantic. We organized a wedding for my daughter last year, so I have a lot of tips and vintage beach wedding ideas.
Finding a place for the vintage beach wedding wasn't easy. At first we had to make sure that the part of the beach which we choose was not a private beach and that it was allowed to have weddings there. We also needed a place with a restaurant nearby in case of bad weather.
Sea shell wedding cakes and decorations are one of the most beautiful ocean wedding themes, so we decided to have a 'shells and pearls' theme. Since the tropical days are very hot, the wedding started in the evening. It was a great idea to organize the reception this way: the cool ocean breeze was amazing.
The wedding turned out great, but as you see organizing a vintage beach wedding is not always so easy. There are so many details you have to pay attention to. The breeze might get stronger, the sand might get everywhere, and so on. However, a beach wedding in the retro style is surely very romantic and beautiful. For a vintage atmosphere you can play jazz music and light candles in the evening.
We chose the seashell theme because our daughter always loved seashells, but there are many great themes to choose from: ocean theme, tropical theme, and even pirate theme. You should choose the theme before and make the invitations and decorations accordingly. For more vintage beach wedding ideas you should look on the internet, there are always great tips there!
