As we’re nearing the holidays and entering winter here in the U.S., we find ourselves dreaming of escaping to beach wedding locations around the world. While “beach wedding” may conjure specific imagery of traditional barefoot ceremonies in the sand and sun, there are some seriously unique beach wedding destinations that are often left out of the picture. If you see a beach wedding in your future, consider one of these out-of-the-box beach wedding locations to shake things up in a beautiful way!<\/p>\n

Aruba<\/h1>\n

The island of Aruba<\/a> — often referred to as One Happy Island — is one of the most magical places in the world, making it a perfect beach wedding destination<\/a>. Its breathtaking views provide a variety of unique backdrops to use throughout your wedding celebration: a serene ceremony in the pure white sand, an epic portrait session among the other-worldly rock formations of Arikok National Park, and a sunset reception by the sea at one of the island’s many resorts. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n

Black Sands Beach, California<\/h1>\n

Black Sands Beach<\/a>, located in Sausalito, California, is unique for exactly the reason you think: the black sand shore! If your heart is drawn to the water, but a traditional beach wedding isn’t what you envision, consider this destination with a moodier look. Black Sands is one of the lesser-populated Bay Area beaches, meaning your quiet, personal wedding won’t be overrun by tourists. Plus, this location is surrounded by tall hills and rock formations that gives it a secluded feeling. Pro Tip: the route to Black Sands Beach includes an incredible view of The Golden Gate Bridge — so stop on the way for your first look portraits! The road becomes one-way, however, so you won’t be able to reach the same spot on your return trip.<\/p>\n

When one thinks of beach wedding locations in the U.S., Maine likely isn’t what comes to mind. However, the beaches of Maine are an incredible mixture of East Coast charm and rugged shorelines. In particular, we have a soft spot for Blue Hill Bay, where grassy lawns of nearby cottages meet a boater’s haven of crisp blue waters. Whether your beach wedding is boho, rustic, classic, or minimalist in style, Blue Hill Bay beautifully sets the scene.<\/p>\n
