• Is there anything we should consider if we want a beach wedding? - Its a good idea to check tide times, here is a link to the Bureau of Meteorology - http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/projects/ntc/qld_tide_tables.shtml 
• What can I do if there is bad weather forecast? - Regardless of when and where you are to have your ceremony, it is always a good idea to have a 'Plan B'. At the planning stage think about what you will do if the weather turns bad, check with your venue to see if the ceremony can be moved under cover at the last minute or,  if your ceremony is on a beach or in the bush, will there be shelter for you and your guest? And don't forget to include your celebrant and other wedding providers, you'll still want us to turn up if you change your venue!
