Wedding on a Wild Beach!
In his book, 50 Ways to Save the Ocean, author David Helvarg suggests getting married on a wild beach, not only for the breathtaking scenery but because doing so would undoubtedly leave a lasting impression in the minds and hearts of the bride, groom, family and friends, strengthening their innate connection to nature.
Helvarg suggests that a couple's association between love and nature will very likely inspire them to conserve the remarkable setting in which they solidified their very special bond.
Here are Helvarg's tips for an environmentally friendly beach wedding:
1. Learn about the beach regulations of the site you are interested in (maximum number of guests, noise levels, whether food and drink are allowed, etc.)
2. Leave nothing behind but the sand, and take nothing away but a reverence for nature.
3. Know the weather report and the tide tables and plan in advance for unexpected changes.
4. Encourage guests to offer wedding presents that help protect the beach, such as contributions to your favorite ocean charity.
5. Vow to return to and protect the wild beach where you were married.
