If you’ve decided that Cyprus beach weddings are the way to go, you’ll most likely be planning for sunny and warm weather, stunning surroundings and an intimate ceremony.

One of the challenges with organising a beach wedding is getting the balance right between the decor and the surroundings, as well as ensuring that your bridal party and your guests are prepared for the more informal surroundings.

A host of luxury wedding experts recently offered some of their top advice on how to organise the perfect beach wedding to Town & Country Magazine. Decor is one of the hardest things to get right, they note, but there are a few simple tricks to ensure you don’t over do things.

Decorative accents, such as custom chair covers or quirky outdoor lights, can make your wedding unique without being too intrusive to the stunning natural surroundings. In fact, one of the top tips is to make sure that your decor doesn’t compete with the beach, but instead that it compliments it.

Choosing the likes of “ghost chairs and light and airy florals” are among the best ways to do this, according to the owners of Rockrose Floral in the US.

When it comes to how you dress your bridal party, Brian Leahy, owner of Brian Leahy Photography, said that you can go all out with colour if you want. “Bright reds, greens, and corals contrast incredibly well with the sand, ocean and blue skies,” he stated.

Given that colourful bridal gowns are coming into fashion, this could be a great option for anyone who wants to introduce some vibrant shades to their big day.
