Wedding Reception Centerpieces is a great start for your dream wedding on the beach, but the sun and the ocean breezes that makes the beach so magical also poses challenges for your wedding plans and really impact beach wedding reception centerpieces.
Most any bride who has been married on a beach will tell you that the wind and the sun are the biggest challenges to overcome when designing the centerpieces for the beach wedding reception. The question is what to do about them? What works under those circumstances?
Indeed, the intense sun of the seaside is not kind to many kinds of flowers, causing them to wilt or change color. Thus, if a bride desires to use flowers in her beach wedding centerpieces (or in any other part of her wedding) it is wise to do two things:
First, talk to a florist that is experienced in staging weddings on or around the beach that the couple intends to use to determine the kinds of flowers that are likely to hold up during the ceremony and reception.
Second, make a test run. Whatever flowers are chosen still should be tested so there will be no surprises on the wedding day. This is a great excuse to take a day to relax during the time in the wedding planning process that can be so stressful. Bring the flowers or floral centerpieces and set them out in comparable conditions to the expected wedding day conditions while the new couple enjoys some quiet time together relaxing at the beach.
