Seaside Wedding Ceremonies
The setting sun, the roaring waves, your true love. Have a dream
wedding ceremony on edge of the ocean using our ideas for unique
ways to include nature in your promises.
Oceanic Readings.
Incorporate the sea's power into your ceremony by using readings and
poems that reflect your love for the waves as much as your love for
one another.
Rites of the Ocean.
You may want to incorporate your surroundings into your ceremony.
For example, instead of a unity candle, each of you pour sand into
one container symbolizing both the endurance of time as well as
unity. Or, if you're having your ceremony around sunset, create vows
that have to do with new days dawning, planets revolving around the
sun, or the promise of a new day with each sunset. For your vows,
make a circle of seashells for you both to stand inside.
Creative entrances and exits.
Since this is an unusual wedding environment, why not use your
imagination when deciding where to walk down the aisle/ have guests
seated/ leave the ceremony? Try making a grand entrance from behind
some sea oats, or leading all your guests to the appointed wedding
spot on the beach. After the ceremony is finished, you and your new
husband can take a walk on the beach while your guests are bustling
to the reception.
Honoring your family.
Instead of presenting mothers with flowers, give shells instead. Ask
your father to walk down the beach with you for a way before the
ceremony begins, and then turn around for a gentle stroll right up
to your guests and groom. Adorn mothers and fathers with Hawaiin
leis at the beginning of the ceremony, a welcome symbol you can use
to symbolize welcoming them into a new family.
