- Sunscreen, fans, shading structures to make your guests more comfortable.
- Water or refreshments like lemonade, coconut station to stay hydrated.
- Shoe station, so that they can open their shoes and walk barefoot in the sand. You can also offer them flip flops.

However, a live sitar player dhol players with portable speakers for baraat and milni, and a professional sound equipment with experienced companies in town setting up weddings on the beach, wireless microphones for pandit ji and granthi and musicians could work for your Indian beach wedding.

Indian Beach Wedding Attire
Choosing beach Indian wedding attire can get tricky.
Here’s a quick guide for the couple and their guests that will help them
to decode their outfits for a beach wedding:
Indian Beach Wedding Outfits for the Couple
- Wind – Consider how a breeze will make your outfit and hair blow around and ensure that however you style your hair and whatever style of garment you wear, it’s able to withstand the wind.
- Head & Humidity – Breathable fabrics are best for a hot day outside, such as georgette, chiffon, crepe, organza or linen which will keep you cool and comfortable.
- Shifty Ground – Although dress shoes and heels will work fine during an indoor, rooftop or patio reception, they might not be the best choice for a ceremony on the sand. During the sand portion of the event, consider sandals, Khussa or Jutti Mojari shoes. The bride can choose to wear lehengas and sarees with light embellishments. Whereas, the groom can go for a light colored a sherwani and to not forget to wear a 100% cotton underwear. Just ensure the fabric is a fit for the outdoor environment.
Choosing a Dress Code for Guests
Mentioning dress code on the wedding invitation is usually encouraged as it lets the guests know exactly what to expect and wear to your wedding. It’s important to tell them that part of the event will be held on the beach, so there are no surprises.
Select a dress code for your guests depending on the climate and how formal the event is. Weather at the beach can get sticky and humid, keeping that in mind, choose a light-weight and light fabric dress code for your guests that makes them feel comfortable sitting outside potentially in the hot sun or in the wind. Suggest or provide comfortable sandals or loafers as shoes.
Pros & Cons of Getting Married on the Beach
There are various reasons that a couple desires to host a beach wedding, it could be subjective or personal- maybe the sea holds some sentimental value for you and your fiance. But, there are a few pros and cons of planning a beach wedding that you must check out.
Pros
- Spectacular view of the ocean- Even if it’s cloudy on the day of your wedding, the open water will always look romantic and dreamy.
- A relaxed beginning to your new life- Planning a wedding can get really stressful, but the ocean breeze will calm you down, especially when you exchange vows with your beloved. It will all be worth it!
- You don’t need heels- Without a solid platform to walk on, wearing heels is not the right choice. You can use your beach wedding as a perfect excuse to wear comfortable shoes or no footwear at all.
Cons
- Lack of privacy- Mexican beaches are a federal property, therefore they are considered public, onlookers might distract you from your ceremony or wind up in photos. Fortunately, as your Destination Management Company, we will do our best to keep away all those curious people during your wedding time.
- Weather is unpredictable- Depending upon the climate, there could be tropical storms, heavy winds and squalls. Even a normal sunny day could be uncomfortably hot for you and your guests if you don’t plan around it. Don’t worry though; Latin Asia has ways around this. First off, our destination of Cancun and Riviera Maya is typically very comfortable most of the year. Second, if it’s a warmer time of year, we can always plan an earlier ceremony to avoid the hottest part of the day. And in case of rain we always have a plan B.
- Sand – Obviously if you’re getting married on the beach, you’re going to get sand on your feet and clothes, but you already knew that! Luckily, it brushes off quickly and easily, so this shouldn’t be a deterrent.
Seasonal & Travel Considerations
There are various factors that you need to consider while planning an Indian beach wedding. The two most crucial things that you must take into account are your travel plans and the season during which you are planning to conduct your dream wedding. First and foremost, avoid planning wedding dates that coincide with heavy travel days, for instance, during Christmas, Spring break, Winter holidays or New Years. This would make it difficult and expensive for guests to get a plane ticket. Secondly, choose an appropriate season so that the temperature is tolerable and comfortable for guests to sit on the beach during your wedding ceremony.

What do you wear to an Indian beach wedding?
The most suitable outfits for a beach wedding are indeed cotton fabrics with light colors. However, when it comes to an Indian wedding the outfits are much more elaborated and with vibrant colors. What we recommend for men`s shervanis and kurtas is to preferably wear those made with cotton. If that is not possible, to wear cotton underwear to make a big difference. For women outfits, lehengas and sarees are usually not made with cotton, so the cotton underwear and cotton underskirt will definitely help.
