6 Most Romantic Beaches for Your Wedding in USA

1. Ogunquit, Maine

If its meaning is any indication, Ogunquit (which translates to "beautiful place by the sea") is a picture-perfect location for a wedding. Artists discovered the area over a century ago and helped to transform it into what it is today: a town that offers everything, from seaside relaxation to intimate museums, art galleries, and hikes in the mountains of Maine. Hold your ceremony along the one-and-a-quarter-mile stretch of beach known as Marginal Way, followed by a clambake cocktail hour and a feast of famous Maine lobster for dinner.



2. Crane Beach, Massachusetts 
Crane Beach is noted as one of the most picturesque swimming beaches in all of New England, making it a stunning spot for your vows too. Located in Ipswich, it stretches over four miles of white sand, and serves as a natural barrier that protects the Essex River Estuary. It's a great spot for environment and animal lovers, as it is adjacent to the Crane Wildlife Refuge and provides an important habitat for many animals, plants, and fish.



3. Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Located between New York and Boston, Watch Hill is situated on a peninsula almost completely surrounded by ocean, affording Rhode Island's best sunset views. The town's name is derived from its French and Revolutionary War days, when it served as a strategic lookout point. Centuries of history are evident at every turn, and perhaps the most charming spot for photographs is The Flying Horses Carousel, touted as the oldest operating carousel in the country.


4. Cooper's Beach, New York

In 1640, English colonists moved to the area now known as Southampton, making it one of the oldest settlements in New York. It's no secret that the beaches are gorgeous and the location posh. But for every chic detail Southampton and its beaches has to offer, it's got the history and culture to match. Cooper's Beach is located in Southampton Village, and, in addition to being one of the area's most popular stretches of sand, is also dotted with historic mansions along its shores.


5. Avalon, New Jersey

Avalon projects a mile further into the Atlantic Ocean than any other neighboring island on the state's southern coast. Its peaceful atmosphere and seven miles of clean, inviting beaches make it a local favorite, meaning you're sure to love it too. Avalon is also known for its high dunes that preserve the beach, keeping it safe from erosion. They'll serve a dual purpose for your wedding, though: In addition to keeping the beach intact, the natural foliage and indigenous plants will make a perfect backdrop for your pictures.


6. Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

For the private yet laid-back couple, this island, located at the southernmost tip of the Outer Banks, boasts the perfect beaches. Only 800 residents live here year-round, and the 16 miles of unspoiled, undeveloped beaches are accessible only by ferry, private boat, or plane. For the best in historic backdrops, check out the island's white lighthouse, built in 1823. It's one of the oldest active lighthouses in the United States, and it serves as the most recognizable symbol of the island community.

How to Hold a Beach Wedding

Beach weddings are one the most romantic and popular ways to say "I do." The natural beauty of the setting is impossible to match indoors and everyone will remember the amazing day that they had with you and your new spouse at the beach. Many people elect to spend several days at the beach before the wedding enjoying the company of their families and close friends before the big day. In this article, we will discuss how to have a beach wedding


Instructions


  1. How to Have a Beach Wedding

    • 1
      Select the beach where you wish to have your wedding. Be sure to factor in the time of year, season and other local events into your decision. For example, should you decide to get married at Daytona Beach you will need to avoid Bike Week in order to prevent your vows from being drowned out by the roar of thousands of motorcycles. Also, if you have your wedding in the tourist "off season" you can take advantage of low rates on accommodations and other services because there will not be as high a demand.
    • 2
      Establish a contact person at the hotel nearest to the beach where you wish to have your wedding. This person will help you coordinate the event and reserve enough rooms for your guests. They also can recommend vendors to help you with the wedding cake, music and photography. This person generally will serve as your liaison to the catering department at the hotel.
    • 3

      Spending time at the location of your wedding ahead of time will bring you and your fiance closer together and help you create more memories to tie you to the beach you have selected.

      Spend at least one night at the beach where you want to have your wedding. This will help you be sure that you have picked the proper place. Walk on the beach around the time that you want to get married and check out the area to make sure that the hotel is the type of place that you trust to host your wedding and reception tastefully. If you find you do not like the area, atmosphere or clientele, consider a change in venue. You want you wedding day to be perfect!
    • 4
      Make sure that the area where you wish to have your wedding can be reserved. If it cannot, you will need to select another venue. You do not want people walking through the middle of your wedding because the beach is public.
    • 5
      Set a date with the help of the hotel contact person.When planning a beach wedding, this must be done at least six months in advance if possible. Otherwise, even if your venue is available you may end up being hurried out of the area to make room for the next scheduled event. By planning far in advance, you can usually talk the hotel into reserving the beach area for at least half a day.
    • 6

      Wedding cakes do not travel well, so pick a local baker and request that they deliver the cake on the day of the wedding.

      Interview potential musicians, photographers and bakers. It is best to use local talent since these people will work better if they are familiar with the venue and the area. Make sure to ask for references, examples of their work and cost estimates. Most will be willing to negotiate on prices -- -particularly if you are very clear about what you want and if you have your event when the area is not busy with other tourists.
    • 7
      Sign contracts with your favorite vendors. This locks them into working with you on a given weekend and gives you the security of knowing that you can check one more thing off your list. At this point, the hard work is done. Now you can move on to the things that are required at any wedding, like showers, dresses and parties!

Wedding dress is the most important part of a wedding, so are the wedding jewelry. Choosing bridal jewelry is not easier than choosing the wedding dress. Do not just wear the jewelry you wear everyday because they should be special enough to match you big day. The pieces for wedding should perfectly complement your wedding dress to make you look complete and elegant. What jewelry you wear on wedding matters. Be careful about choosing your wedding jewelry.

Here are a few tips that would help you to choose wedding jewelry.
  • The first thing to decide upon is the wedding ring because this is something that you will be wearing all the time after your wedding. Most of the people wish to have a diamond wedding ring. If it is the same with you, consider a few things before buying the ring such as the cut, the color, the clarity, the carat and the weight of the diamond.
  • Next comes the necklace. The type of necklace you choose depends completely on the dress. If you are wearing a halter neck, or if the bodice is highly decorated with pearls and sequins, there is no need to buy a necklace. However if you are opting for a plain sophisticated wedding gown, then a string of pearl or a diamond necklace can make you look elegant.
  • Decide if you need a bracelet for your wedding. If you are wearing a long sleeve wedding gown or wearing embellished gloves then a bracelet is not required. But if your gown is short sleeves or strapless then a simple diamond bracelet can make you look charming.
  • Ear rings are also another consideration to make. If the bodice of your wedding gown is simple, you can choose earrings that dangle. On the other hand if you are wearing a dress with embellished bodice, a stud ear ring would be your perfect choice.
Keep these things in mind while shopping for jewelry and you are sure to look gorgeous on that special day.

Make sure you get to view samples of their work; they should have a portfolio. This will affect the price. Make sure you get a written quote that shows exactly what materials are included and the cost per hour for the labor.
    • The other option is to get a dress customized. You can order one that will be tailored to your idea or buy one off the peg and then have it altered. The later is the cheapest option.Customize your dress. First select a couple of dresses that are closest to your design. Ask the shop about color options and if you can change the beading.

    • If you want to radically customize a dress by changing the shape adding panels, beading etc. then buying off the peg is a good option. The shop should be able to recommend a dress maker. Get a consultation, show them your designs and try on the dress so they can see what they are working with. They may have some suggestions too. Get them to quote you and say if the materials are included. You may want to get the material yourself or ask the dress maker to do it for you. Make sure that you get a couple of fittings leading up to the wedding to achieve the perfect fit.
    • Take photos of the dress before you customize it and during the process so you don’t forget what it looks like.
