Saying “I do” to a beach wedding doesn’t have to mean you’re barefoot in the sand. Barefoot or not, consider the oodles of options for a statement piece that is your ceremony arch, from billowing in the wind fabrics to materials found locally near the shore; let your ceremony design set the tone for the fabulous and oh-so swanky beachside affair to follow.
If you’re a romantic traditionalist then take advantage of the wind factor and incorporate light chiffon fabric to sway against the sea.

If you want to incorporate the natural materials around you, consider some of these more au natural yet elaborate wedding arches and Chuppahs.

If you’re a bit more of a modern bride or groom, opt for dark wood materials, asymmetrical fabric designs, flags, or even a bright pop of color against the ocean blue.
