Quirky Beach Wedding Inspiration
My favorite kind of beach weddings are the ones that feel like a huge, family vacation. Piles of fresh seafood, comfortable places to sit, and colorful beach umbrellas for a little shade are my top priorites for a perfect ocean side party. Oh, and a milk shake bar would be a great idea too!
