Weddings on the Beach

If you're planning a wedding in San Francisco on the beach
one of the most important factors to consider is the micro
climates of the different beaches in the city.  Consider the
fog patterns and the wind patterns.

The very best time on the beach is before ten in the
morning.  Each hour provides more wind.  Winds can be
twenty to forty miles an hour beach side.  Often the gusts
can be stronger.  This often makes for a cold experience.  

In the summer the fog is often in the bay until noon.  
Making a 1 pm wedding the best option expect for the
winds.  Sunset weddings provide for the coolest and
windiest time to marry on the beach. The bay side beaches
are less harsh then the coast side beaches.  

Can your fantasy of a beach wedding match up with the
reality of your beach wedding? Here are a few pointers for
a beach wedding in San Francisco.

  • Beaches in California are public. Even with a permit
    the space is still open to the public.  The public often
    includes dogs.

  • While many couples want to be near the water, few
    want to have there feet in the sand.

  • Most Brides are very cold during beach nuptials and
    have a distance to walk in their finest attire to get to
    the location.  

  • The Winter beach is cold.  Few people go to the
    beach in the winter.  The Summer beach  is foggy
    and windy.  If it is warm and nice there will be  many
    people on the beach.

  • Very few brides want to down their best gown, have
    their hair and make up done and then head to the
    beach.
