Southern California On The Beach Weddings
The beaches of Southern California are world renown for their stunning beauty and accessibility. People pay top dollar to live and play near the beach and for good reason. There is something amazing and wonderful about being close to the water, especially the Pacific Ocean with its panoramic view and endless horizon. With the soft, gentle wind ruffling through your hair and a feeling of calmness overcoming your mind, a wedding on the beach can be an unforgettable experience. For alot of west coast natives, a Southern California wedding on the beach is a no brainer.
The first decision to make is where and when. For the most part, the weather in Southern California is moderate all year round. Precipitation is low compared to most U.S. cities and it rarely becomes overly hot or very cold. Still, the best and most common time to have a wedding is during the summer months. Near the beaches the temperature is lower than inland so keep that in mind as you pick which month to have the occasion.
Wedding beach locations ? Where to have the wedding is one of the fun parts of planning a beach wedding. Consider three different locations near and around Los Angeles County. The first is Orange County just south of Los Angeles. Here you can plan any number of weddings on the local beaches. Orange County is all about their beaches. Practically every city within the confines of the county is near the beach. There are warm and friendly beaches like Newport Beach that offers many hotels and services close by to account for any catering or photography you may need. They are ready made to help out with the planning and execution of the wedding.
Just north along the coast is sunny Los Angeles. Specifically there is Venice, Santa Monica or Marina Del Rey to choose from if you want a wedding on the beach. Any of these locations will get you on a beautiful beach, especially Santa Monica with its wonderful area of open ground and large beachfront property. They are public beaches and parking for any guests is usually not too prohibitive. Always check with local services to insure that a wedding is allowed on the beach you want. You may need to call ahead months in advance to secure a specific location and possibly permits and permission to use the beach for a large gathering.
Another incredible location in Southern California is near Malibu. Malibu is up and along the coast just up from LA taking the Pacific Coast Highway straight north. Malibu is considered the premiere hotspot location in Southern California for beaches. Many celebrities have used the magnificent locations there to have weddings. Zuma Beach is an absolutely wondrous place to have a wedding. This beach is nothing but coastline and the view will knock you off your feet. It is a wonderful feeling to have the sun at your back, the breeze in your hair and your life spouse at your side. Try it at the beach and be amazed.
