I want to have a wedding on the beach of California.
How much does a permit cost ?
And I just want it to be my fiance; our 2 best friends; and our parents; and our siblings. So about 10 people.
We need seating; decorations; invites&thank you letters; candles; the cake; flowers; carpet; the reserved beach; the rings; and the dress; and the tux.
thanks!! :)
Please don't tell me one number; please say how much each one will be!
Thanks :)
Answer
Which CA beach? I live in Huntington Beach & had originally planned to do our wedding here in Orange County. We went to Hawaii instead but I did quite a bit of research before making that decision. I ask which beach because not many allow seating. In my area, only Bolsa Chica State beach allowed it & that's the beach I live on which isn't particularly nice or scenic. Laguna beach allows no seating even if you do it cliffside they won't allow chairs on the grass. So, go to the City website for the beach you're thinking of & clear that up before proceeding. The website should also list the cost of the permit.
Around here $150 was pretty standard for the permit. Also keep in mind parking difficulties. Just FYI. The permit doesn't necessarily allow you to "reserve" the beach because they're public areas. They just give you the permit to allow it but that doesn't mean people can't be walking around in the background of your ceremony or photos.
You can rent plain white plastic chairs for about $1.95 each & have a family member pick them up. Just look up party rentals & you'll find sites that rent all sorts of different chairs, tables, etc. for your price point.
Decorations? A bit vague. You could go all out with real flowers or you could tie some frilly stuff to the chairs you know?
Invitations you should print at home using card stock from Costco or Staples because you only have 10 people. Postage will cost maybe $5 and the same for the thank you notes. For that few people you can also find standard thank you notes at Target. Candles are cheap. You can get a bag of tea lights at Ikea or Big Lots for like $6 for 100.
Cakes in SoCal can run anywhere from $3.95 per slice to $10 per slice & above. It just depends what baker you choose & how elaborate you want this to be. Once again just a little vague so I couldn't give you a round figure.
Same with the rest of the stuff. Rings, dress, tux, that's all up to you. You can get a dress for $300 at Jessica McClintock or David's Bridal or you can fall in love with one that costs 3k. Rings too. That's up to you, your personal style & your budget. My set was $1600 plus the diamond which was around $1,000 so $2,600 for that but they sell simple bands for a few hundred if that's what you want.

What's the best time to get married on the beach?

Planning on getting married at Laguna Beach, actually on the sand.
Answer
Actually, this is the best time of year to get married. You have a better chance of clear skies. As you get into May, June, and early July, you might just get socked in by fog (SoCal residents, you should know this!)
By Mid July, the fog is pretty much gone. However, Laguna can still get hot, so I would either recommend an early morning wedding, or a sunset wedding. That's a toss up. Early morning will mean less crowds, easier parking (and that's a biggie!), but a sunset wedding is muy romantico. Also take into consideration the Pageant of the Masters and the Sawdust Festival happen in mid-summer. LB gets wicked crowded during those times.
As for sand fleas, they aren't bad in Laguna.
Definitely check the tide tables, that will really help.
Here's hoping you have an extra special day. Congratulations
