Wedding Planning Tips

• Choose the right season: The best time for a beach wedding in Phuket is from November to April, when the weather is generally sunny and dry. 
• Pick the right venue: When choosing a venue, consider the guest count, accessibility, and amenities. For instance, beachfront or poolside spots are ideal for intimate gatherings, while ballrooms and halls can accommodate larger parties. It’s also advisable to pick a venue with indoor and outdoor spaces, like Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, in case of sudden weather changes.
• Have a dress code: Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics for the bride, groom, and guests so everyone stays comfortable with the tropical climate.
• Make sure everyone stays hydrated: Provide refreshing drinks and shaded seating areas to keep the wedding couple, entourage, and guests comfortable.
• Prepare welcome kits: For a thoughtful touch, provide small kits with useful items like sunscreen, fans, and insect repellent to make sure guests feel comfortable.
• Have a coordinated theme: Choose a colour, pattern, or style and include details of your theme throughout the ceremony and reception for a cohesive look.
• Plan for the golden hour: Schedule the ceremony or reception shortly before sunset for the best lighting to capture stunning photos against the backdrop of the Andaman Sea.
• Work with local vendors: It’s more practical to work with local florists and other vendors familiar with your chosen venue.
