casa de campo wedding in minitas beach

As you know, here at Claire Duran Weddings & Events, one of the things we do most is beach destination weddings. And we wouldn’t want it any other way! What’s not to love, AM I RIGHT?!

Recently, we were interviewed by the formidable wedding writer Sarah Zlotnick for BRIDES to speak about all of our best tips planning a beach wedding. I had the best of times chatting with her and discussing in depth all our experiences and suggestions. 

Here’s a teaser of the topics we talked about.

BEACH WEDDING ETIQUETTE

  • How far in advance to send save-the-dates
  • Logistics for booking travel and accommodations for guests
  • Dress code
  • Considerations for all-outdoor weddings 

STEPS TO PLANNING A BEACH WEDDING

  • Pick your location
  • Do your research on the weather
  • Get the necessary permits for a public beach ceremony
  • Make sure your reception works rain or shine
  • Travel intelligently with your essentials

BEACH WEDDING DECOR AND DESIGN TIPS

  • Don’t feel limited by theme
  • Be smart about beach ceremony set-up 
  • The beauty of a see-through tent
  • Be conscious of what the wind can do to your décor 
  • Add local flair to the menu

In other words…. the article covers A LOT. So I’d like to invite you to read the full article and get even more detailed info about the topics above.
