Beaches offer more than just sun and sand these days… they serve as ideal stages for weddings as well. Indeed, a beach wedding is the most popular dream wedding of today. According to a Cosmopolitan Magazine study, 9 out of 14 women who wanted an unconventional wedding, said that their dream wedding to be on a beach.
A beach wedding really makes everything truly memorable for the couple and their guests as well.
What beach wedding would be complete without beach theme? We had our beach wedding on Palm Beach, Aruba, so, I chose to use the tropical palm tree as the focus of our beach wedding theme, from the “save the date” cards to the cake topper. Of course there are loads of ways to incorporate your beach theme into your wedding. Starfish, shells, sailboats, sand… A huge resource for great advice on unique beach theme wedding ideas can be found at

Of course, my recommended location for the ideal beach wedding would be any of the white sandy beaches of Aruba. Aruba is one of the most desired destinations for couples planning a beach wedding for several reasons.
Aruba’s long stretch of beach is composed of sand that is considered one of the whitest and most powder-like in the world. There is just something unique about attending a wedding ceremony barefooted that makes it memorable.
Aruba’s weather is pleasingly consistent throughout the year, making planning an outdoor beach wedding much less intimidating. The temperature only fluctuates a few degrees from winter to summer, and only gets about 18 inches of rain per year – most falling October through January.
Aruba has hundreds of establishments perfect for hosting the reception following the beach ceremony, a pre-wedding bash, or any other celebrations that accompany a wedding. As for Scott and I, we couldn’t have dreamed of anything more uniquely us, from our barbeque rehearsal dinner at the Boardwalk Hotel to our cocktail and dinner reception at the Marriott Resort.
Of course the best part about having an Aruba beach wedding is...the honeymoon’s just a “do not disturb” sign away. Many establishments in Aruba participate in the “One Cool Honeymoon” program which offers goodies from the hotels and even shopping discounts to make the couple’s romantic beginnings together even more extraordinary.
