Empty shells, palm trees, white sands, mermaids, star fish etc., and other things that one relates to beaches should be used as decorations.
Food is another important aspect of any wedding. Therefore, the food should go with the theme of the wedding. The first thing that would come to mind would be seafood.

Another important factor is the season. A beach wedding cannot be had in the monsoon season. The weather is unpredictable and there are chances of the whole wedding getting washed out. Therefore, the rainy season should be avoided. The summer is a good time, but make sure that the wedding does not go on for too long or the guests might get heavily tanned.
The spring is the best time for beach wedding. The weather is at its best, the nature and environment is also at its best. Therefore, spring time is the ideal time to have a beach wedding.
Beach Wedding Dresses

wedding dress. In theme with the beach wedding, the dress should not be one with a long trail. It should be of the right length; even a short dress actually looks nice.

The groom should wear white tuxedo or suit, but in some beach weddings, some grooms chose to wear Hawaiian shirts. Avoid doing that. Even if it might get a little hot, the groom should wear a white tux or suit.
