I would suggest that you remind everyone that a beach is a beach. You know, soft sand.
Quite a few years ago I saw a wedding on the beach on Sanibel Island, FL. It was a full, formal affair. The men were in tuxedos, the women were in long gowns--at least some of them, including high heels. Really? Did it never occur to them that maybe high heels and a beach don't go together very well?
In the end the dresses were all sandy/dirty around the bottoms. The men all ended up taking off their shoes and rolling up their tuxedo pants. One of the brides-maids very nearly did a face-plant before the women all decided to take off their shoes. It looked to me, watching from a distance, as if it was really touch-and-go as to whether it would end up a full-blown disaster, or merely a hard-won lesson. Part of me felt sorry for them, and part of me wanted to laugh out loud.
It worked out in the end, but I think they learned the hard way that a beach wedding is, first and foremost, a BEACH wedding!
Just a little warning so that your daughter does not have to learn the hard way. Good luck!
