Beauty and the Beach: Matabungkay's June Bride

What can be more blissful than getting married with the sun, sand, and surf serving as dramatic backdrop? Beach weddings have become very popular lately, thanks to the endless romantic and exciting nuptial possibilities they offer to engaged couples.

For the sun-kissed bride-to-be, having the perfect beach-front wedding needs careful planning. Destination weddings often require more attention because the entourage and guests have to travel some distance to be able to attend one. There are also other things to consider, such as where guests will stay, what to do in case of unexpected rain, and other details.

First, remember that you are dealing with nature, which can become unpredictable any time. Pick out a wedding dress or outfit that can keep you comfortable in style all throughout the ceremony. Carefully consider weather forecasts and choose the best month to hold your wedding. To prevent yourself and your guests from getting sun burnt (or worse, a sun stroke), thoughtfully provide a small bottle or packet of sunscreen for everyone. If you think there's a chance of rain during your nuptials, coordinate with the beach staff about providing an outdoor canopy to protect guests from getting drenched.

To make the wedding planning smooth and trouble-free, choose a beach that already offers wedding packages and facilities for utmost convenience. Matabungkay Beach Hotel has a Wedding by the Beach package which includes overnight room accommodation for the newlyweds, couple spa treatments, a choice of either a beach-front or balsa wedding, a digital and video package, and a buffet set-up of your choice all in a convenient venue arrangement. You don't have to worry about your wedding cake or dessert centerpiece either, as Matabungkay graciously throws in a three-layer cake and a four-layer chocolate fountain!
