* This is quite common when a couple chooses to be married on a beach either near where they live or in the tropics ... many of the family members can't make it. There are a couple of options you have: Get married at the beach, but then come home and have a reception with your family and friends (this is common) or, you could realize that family (especially the parents) are important and they want to see their children married and have the wedding where family can attend and then go away on a honeymoon. If you have several people already coming to your beach wedding then the first choice is the best one to go with.
Yes, if it's a formal wedding - it is a way to respect the bride and groom. But if the wedding venue is based on beach areas you can consider beach wedding dresses that might better to show your appearance.
Yes, but they should also have shoes if they're not standing in the sand.
It depends upon the family, but traditionally, (in the West) the bride's family paid for the wedding.
i think white should be reserved for the bride. soft pastel colours and linen fabric is the way to go i think
The bridesmaids should not wear white, as that is reserved for the bride. Pastel tones might be nice if you are on the beach. Nothing distractingly bright mainly.
As much as possible. The wedding planner has to no the bride. Otherwise the wedding wont be the bride's and groom's dream wedding, it would be the wedding planner.
One welsh tradition is that the groom carves a wedding spoon before the wedding day to be presented to the bride. The Bride is kidnapped by the bride's family before the wedding day, the person from the groom's family who finds the bride is set to get married within a year! The bridal bouquet contains Myrtle & a cutting of it is given to the BM's and will bring wealth & happiness - the BM then plants the cutting & if it blooms it is a good sign! A pin should be hidden somewhere in the bride's attire & thrown over the shoulder for good luck.
yes, because they are very important to the family.
When going to the church the mother and father of the bride along with the maid of honor; brides maids; flower girl can go in the limo, but after the wedding is over the bride and groom if going for pictures first should leave the church on their own and the parents from both sides of the family along with the wedding party should meet the bride and groom along with the photography at a designated area for wedding pictures.
NO! They are the family members of VERY important people.
I would ask the Bride first, make sure she's okay with it if you're going to be in any official wedding photos.
The groom should buy the engagement and wedding ring for his bride to be and the bride to be should buy the groom's wedding band.
