It is usually very windy at the beach, so sometimes what looks excellent inside can cause issues on the beach. For example, a long and flowing veil can look beautiful in pictures in a sheltered area. However, it can pull on your hair, blow and twist in the wind. I recommend a shorter veil for beach weddings. Keep the beach in mind when picking a dress as well, with it pulling through and catching the sand. There are special rules on what is allowed for weddings in the Myrtle Beach City limits.

It's a good idea to wear comfortable shoes for any outdoor wedding because we usually do a good bit of walking. I've noticed personalized Vans as being very popular recently. Keep in mind that if you have a summer wedding, it will be hot and humid in Myrtle Beach. Bringing a towel to wipe off during the pictures is a good idea. It's also usually crowded at the beach; when setting up the ceremony, try to do it closer to the water so we don't have people setting up umbrellas and walking by as much in the background. Lighting candles is almost impossible at the beach. However, a sand ceremony where the bride and groom pour colored sand into a container is popular and works well.
