We're not sure about you, but the cold weather has us dreaming of a beach vacay. Some days, it seems nothing could be better than escaping to the coast, digging our toes into the sand, sipping on mimosas, and watching the sun set. But when we add these elements to one of the most important days of a woman's life? Now, that's what we call pure bliss!

There's a few things that we absolutely adore about coastal weddings. The relaxed atmosphere allows brides to have fun with wedding planning, throwing stuffy traditions to the shore. So grab your sandals, throw on a pair of sunglasses, and dive into what we're loving about these nautical celebrations:

1. Keeping it simple
The beauty of the coast speaks for itself, so subtle accents work best!

2. Pulling beach accents for decor inspiration
You don't have to look far here. It's not only easy, but also cost-friendly, to bring natural coastal elements into your decor! However, you don't always have to be literal- recreations and images of your favorite sandy gems work just as well.

3. Having fun with fashion
Since the beach atmosphere is more casual, the bride, groom, and wedding party have freedom with their ensembles.

4. Tasting the coastal flavors
From shrimp and sugary sweets to cod and cocktails, it's easy to pull coastal inspiration into your menu!

5. Inviting the pups
With an unlimited amount of outdoor space, there's plenty of room for playtime (and accidents) at a coastal setting.

Whether abroad or on our hometown shores in North Carolina, we're hoping your coastal getaway is not too far away!

Bon Voyage!
