beach table decorations wedding image
Ben K
My girlfriend is from Romania. She will be coming back to the states to be with me and we are planning on getting married. She always talks about the beach and everything. So, I thought maybe we could just go to the local county clerk to get the license, then drive down to the beach and get married. Her family of course is in Romania, so there really won't be anyone from her side of the family, so we are probably going to keep it pretty small. Then maybe after we are married we can travel to Romania and show her family. Any ideas or tips about beach weddings? Thanks.

A girlfriend of mine had a beach wedding not so long ago, and let me tell you it was an interesting event! It was very simple- minister along with parents on each side and an additional witness on each side. I suppose these would have been considered a 'bridesmaid' and a groomsman had it been a larger affair.
Consider the tide! Especially if you're going to have any 'permanent' fixtures set up for your wedding ceremony. Many people don't consider things like tide and weather, especially if their party is small and casual. Are you having your reception on the beach too? That'd be awesome- maybe a bonfire. My girlfriend and her groom had a large dining table set up, and it was all decked out for this incredible reception dinner. She used this company she found online for many of her wedding decorations, and she had the cutest favors (great beach-themed stuff!). I have the site...they have the best prices too!

How to honor deceased family members at a wedding?
MiMi D
So my fiance and I are getting married July 2010 and I am trying to think of creative ways to honor our deceased family members. I have lost 2 grandfathers, 1 grandmother and an aunt. He has lost a grandfather and an uncle. I was thinking of getting pictures of each of them individually and having a table with an empty seat to represent each of them. In front of each chair will be their photo. Then since we are having a beach theme wedding I was thinking of include a ton of burning candles on this table. Just not sure if this is a good idea or if it is a little too much.
Answer
That seems a little much, unless they passed away within a few weeks of the wedding. I would like to suggest getting one white rose for each beloved that has died, and either loosely arranging them in a vase or have them formally arranged. Place it at the front of the ceremony site, and say a few words in your bulletin about what the flowers at the front represent. Then at the reception, have them on your table for decoration, or at the parent's table.
