Expert advice:
1) If your heart is set on a beach wedding, make sure your guests are well informed and that you're well prepared: have generous amounts of mosquito repellent, sun protection, and citronella candles. Since weather is unpredictable, make sure you have, at the very least, umbrellas available for protection and a good Plan B.
2) Your decor doesn't need to revolve entirely around fresh flowers. Mix flowers with other elements that are just as interesting and more cost-effective than a typical arrangement. For a beach wedding, for example, you can incorporate shells, gauze, moss and sand along with dozens of votive candles. You can also save money by making the arrangements portable -- take the arrangements from your ceremony and use them for your cocktail hour.
3) The difference between a good wedding and a boring one: timing. If you give your guests the opportunity to l
ook at their watches, it kills the energy. Be sure to have a minute-by-minute schedule of everything that is taking place on your big day and distribute it to each of your vendors to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
