You should specify well to the guests what the dress code will be, as it is a daytime and outdoor wedding, there are certain freedoms It is therefore recommended that you define a dress code semi-formal and relaxed .

Women can wear long and flowing party dresses, but they can also opt for short party dresses or the comfortable and always beachy wedding dresses. Men, on the other hand, can go without a tie and, just like women, wear comfortable shoes. On the invitation you can specify that they wear a pair of Hawaiian flip flops to enjoy the sand.

A beach wedding should be decorated in a very ethereal and relaxed way. Decorate the altar with floral arrangements and delicate fabrics. If the wedding is in the evening, as well as the chairs and the entrance, if the wedding is at sunset, include streetlights and light bulbs in sight that will give a romantic touch to the sunset that your guests will see in the background.

In other spaces they can include small tents with cushions for guests to sit and chat during the cocktail party, prior to the party. Seafaring motifs are an excellent idea for this type of celebration, even as wedding favors.

For the cocktail, a delicious ceviche is never too much or may vary with a mini crab cake accompanied by fresh drinks like pina colada or mojito, or juices with frappé for those who don't drink alcohol.

The climate

Although it sounds obvious, the weather is a very important aspect to consider for a beach wedding. Try not to choose cold months, therefore, spring and summer are the most recommended seasons to celebrate a wedding on the coast.

Anyway, Chilean beaches tend to be very cold at night. It is therefore recommended to suggest that guests bring cover-ups for party dresses and coats for when the temperature drops.

With that you are ready to celebrate your dream wedding on the beach, where the beautiful love phrases will fly and the wedding dress and everything in the place will look like something out of a movie. Now enjoy!
