Your Guide to a British Beach Wedding in Exmouth
If you are considering hosting your wedding in one of England's oldest seaside towns, a beach-style event must surely be on the cards. Fear not. This is far from tropical themes and flowing white linens. Exmouth is a picturesque setting, nestled in the mouth of the River Exe with a character all of its own. We have a quick guide to adding that distinctive Devon twist to your oceanside affair.
Embrace the Local Scenery
With over two miles of sandy beaches, community orchards, and gorgeous gardens, Exmouth has an abundance of striking natural scenery. This is, after all, the gateway to the Jurassic Coast. To embrace the British beach look in all its glory, you could always hire a beach hut or two as part of your open-air setting. These come in exceptionally handy as get-ready suites or as backdrops for quirky wedding photos. A few rustic details like wooden signage and green foliage can easily add a boho touch. Never underestimate the power of a well-placed arch for the ceremony. If you want to embrace the seaside theme fully, hire an ice-cream truck to keep guests satisfied.
Say it With Flowers
Known as the Town of Flowers, Exmouth is heaving with wildlife and inspiring blooms. What better way to pay homage to this dazzling reputation than adding floral installations to the wedding ceremony and venue. Pastel colour schemes work wonderfully here, while luscious greens add an intriguing depth. With your chosen arrangements, you can easily keep the beach theme going by interweaving shells and driftwood. There are a host of local wedding florists who are more than happy to bring your wedding aesthetic together.
