Thinking of having a beach wedding? Look no further!
Having a beach wedding cost less than the traditional wedding - and everyone wants to save money. Hosting a wedding in Johannesburg would cost you thousands and thousands of Rands and this is not how you planned to start your life as man and wife. You do not need to get yourself into serious debt all because of a wedding. Actually the wedding day should mark the beginning of your new life and you must start saving money not spend it all. I am no saying that you shouldn't spoil yourself on your special day.. if you have the money then go ahead and spend. Its only a good idea to rather use that money to secure a house or some valuable asset. A beach wedding will definitely mean huge savings on your part.
* You don't have to wear any formal dressing when you are having a beach wedding ceremony. Formal suits and wedding dresses cost way too much and are normally associated with the traditional wedding events. You can wear casual beach clothes...more like what people wear in Hawaii. This creates a much more relaxed atmosphere, having your guests dressed affordably and comfortably. When you are having a wedding you should also consider that you also placing a serious financial burden on all your guests as they not only have to spend money on your presents, but also have to worry about what outfit they will wear.
* You can have the wedding ceremony and reception at the same venue.... right on the beach and thus do not have to stress about the costs of transporting all your guests from the church to the wedding hall. The pastor or priest might not be comfortable pronouncing your husband and wife while he is wearing shorts and a beach top but everyone else has no excuse. Most formal wedding venues such as hotels have a "no children policy". However children are welcome at the beach.. they will love it.
* A beach wedding lets you to involve all your guests in the activities. Guests will be free and do not have to seat quietly in their seats. They can enjoy!
