I specialise in beach
weddings. However, our weddings are more than just a beach. Our ceremonies are
held in some of the most beautiful National Park in New Zealand, with our beach
weddings predominantly in The Abel Tasman National park at the top of the south
island.
Each wedding brings different ideas, dreams and challenges. One thing I often have to think about and bring to the attention of my couples is the difference between a beach wedding and a traditional wedding.
For example, Girls of this generation have grown up dreaming of their big day and imagining their snow white fairy tale wedding dress. However, times have changed and the ability to be married in all sorts of unusual locations is at our finger tips.
Gone are the days that tied you down to spending your huge savings on one day, guided by tradition and family expectations. Today you can be married on your private Island, integrating it into your Honeymoon destination and combining the serenity of your special day with your perfect holiday location.
Travelling to your ideal place can bring its own problems with transporting your special dress. The traditional dress isn’t always the perfect design and like the wedding venue has evolved, so has the dress. I recently did a wedding on Paradise Beach and the bride had selected the perfect wedding dress for her location. She was able to really relax and be free to climb the rocks for the perfect photo shot, prance about on the beach and still look totally stunning. This made me realise that it would be a great idea to provide other brides with inspiration for the perfect all-round dress.

The Dress: Select a dress that doesn’t drag on the floor. The
dress with a long train will soak up the water and collect beach debris.
Consider a wrap-around
dress that can easily be taken off if you wish to wear your swim suit and enjoy
the water for your first wedded swim.
The Veil: Try not to have a
veil that is too large, it will blow out of control on the boat or in the
summer breeze and easily gets caught on the boat and in the bush.
Shawl or Jacket: Always bring something to cover your shoulders to protect you from the sun and keep you warm in the afternoon cool breeze.

Shoes: it’s easy to think
you want some healed diamond studded shoes but you will kick them off in
minutes and it’s unlikely you’ll have an occasion to wear them again. You would
be better off saving your money, painting your toes with the sparkle and feeling
the sensation of the sand between your toes. If you don’t want to have your
feet naked, jandles (Flip flops) now come in very attractive varieties, which
makes it more likely they will be brought out of the wardrobe again. See the
not so good and better examples.
Hair: you need to really
think about the style for your hair and if you want to wear it up, find a hair
dresser who is perfect at her job in fixing your hair enough that it will hold
against the elements. If you do want to relax and swim, your hair may suffer
due to the activities. You might decide to choose to have your hair down, or in
a hair brace that can be easily removed and reset. Like the before and after
example below
