Whether you choose to have the reception at a beach-side location or a country club or a vineyard, you can still have the ceremony at the ocean. Long Island beaches are stunning. A walkway lined with seashells, daisies, and beach grass leads to a rusted old archway draped in French tulle and clusters of daisies. The view is miles and miles of Atlantic Ocean. The sound of crashing waves fills the air as the bride and groom walk, hand in hand, barefoot to exchange their vows.
