Not to get too sappy or anything, but there’s just something so romantic about a couple saying their wedding vows to the tune of the ocean waves crashing behind them. What can we say? We're total suckers for a pretty beachside ceremony. If you’re considering getting hitched near the sea, we’ve got some major inspiration ahead. These beach weddings are so idyllic, they'll make you want to hit the coast, post-haste. From a tropical Florida celebration to a winter wedding in foggy Carmel, CA, these seaside nuptials are beyond breathtaking.
Mica and Gavin got hitched on Mica's family's beachside property in Florida.
How perfect is the bride's For Love And Lemons dress and bold braid/crown combo?
The two created a makeshift altar and followed their vows with a stone-throwing ceremony, in which guests made a wish for the couple and tossed rocks into the ocean.
The coral and off-white hues in Mica's bouquet by Velvet & Twine are spot-on.
After the ceremony, guests walked to the reception area, which featured a relaxed vibe with a canopy tent and paper lanterns.
Tomasina and James got hitched on the gorgeous, rocky Carmel beach in Northern California.
After the ceremony, guests gathered for an autumnal meal outside the private residence where the event was held.
Okay, this cheese-wheel creation might be the best cake we've ever seen.
The moody-colored table settings are top-notch.
Take a cue from this beachside wedding, as seen on Green Wedding Shoes, and fashion an altar from driftwood. Also, a wild bouquet is always a good idea.
The pretty pastel color palette pairs nicely with the neutral beach tones. These peony-filled table arrangements (from Wildflowers by Design) are absolutely breathtaking.
A quick and easy way to create ambience on the beach? A canopy of driftwood and lanterns will do the trick.
Perfection.
