Questions to ask your vendor
What to ask before you book
- 1.Do you handle the beach ceremony permit process, or is that something we coordinate directly with the local authority?
- 2.What's your wind plan — how do you secure arches, draping, and florals in an exposed coastal setting?
- 3.How do you stabilize arch structures and centerpiece arrangements in sand without damaging the beach?
- 4.Is there accessible power at this location, or do you bring generators for lighting, sound, and catering equipment?
- 5.What floral and fabric choices hold up best in coastal humidity and salt air throughout the day?

Season planning
summer wedding tips
- —Golden hour in summer falls late — often 8–9pm — which gives you a long, beautifully lit reception window
- —Shade is essential for outdoor daytime ceremonies: position the altar so guests face away from the sun
- —Keep guests cool with hand fans, chilled water stations, and breathable seating arrangements
- —Floral hydration is critical in heat — work with your florist on conditioning and misting
Golden hourSummer golden hour lasts 30–60 minutes before sunset and produces the warmest, richest light of the year.
Things to consider
- ·Book air-conditioned transport for the wedding party
- ·Ice-cold signature drinks or a granita station keeps guests happy during cocktail hour
- ·Confirm venue has power for fans or misting systems if outdoors all day
