Why have a Florida Beach Wedding?
Florida has so many tranquil locations to have your dream beach wedding. North Florida offers an array of different beach locations based on your wedding needs. St. Augustine Beach offers fantastic state parks like Anastasia State Park, which has the most breathtaking dunes for sunset pictures. Let’s not forget River to Sea Preserve located in Northern Flagler County where you can have a combination of bluffs overlooking the ocean as well as amazing photo opportunities on the rocks/jetty also found on this beach. Amelia Island another North Florida gem offers a more intimate location with Inns located directly on the beach for a more romantic wedding/reception if you choose. There are also a variety of venues that we can suggest in the Amelia island vicinity where you can host a reception/dinner following your beach wedding.
North Florida is not your only option there are also some fantastic locations found on the west coast including the St. Petersburg/Tampa area. The water on the Gulf of Mexico is something that words can’t describe. Powder white beaches and emerald waters await you in St. Petersburg’s local beaches including location like: Sunset Beach, Pass-A-Grill Beach and Clearwater Beach just to name a few.
So as if you needed any other reasons to choose Florida for your beach wedding location remember that we have fantastic weather practically all year round. Keep in minds that Mid September-November are some of the most amazing months for beach weddings in these areas that are often overlooked. Our beaches have tropical temperatures with a slight beach breeze and little to no rain. v

Perks of Having a Beach Wedding
by Amanda James on 04/29/10
Traditional weddings take an incredible amount of planning, can be very expensive, and often come with many restrictions. A beach wedding in Florida can provide you with a lot of planning relief and many perks. Here are a handful of perks for making your wedding a Florida beach wedding.
Perk -- White Sand!
One of the reasons people love weddings on the beach
in Florida is the absolutely stunning white sand. If you are used to Pacific
Coast beaches (like in California), when you see and feel the white sand beneath
your feet, you will truly fall in love. In fact, for some brides, the white sand
is the biggest draw.
Perk -- Wedding Parties of Any Size!
The number of guests you can invite
often depends on the size of the church as well as the amount of money it costs
to rent equipment. There is really no need for a lot of equipment and the beach
easily accommodates any size wedding (especially if some guests don't mind
standing or can bring their own towels to sit on the beach). Florida beaches are
less crowded than other beaches and are often much larger.
Perk -- Tropical!
Say what you want about other beaches, when you come to
Florida, you are surrounded by tropical beauty. The waters are
warm and inviting. The motels and hotels are painted in those famous Florida
colors. The palm trees, the temperature, the flowers, the sand, the restaurants,
you name it, it's all comes together perfectly and just oozes exotic, tropical
beauty.
Perk -- Destinations!
A wedding on the beach in Florida places you within
hours of some of the most beautiful honeymoon destinations on the planet. You
can travel to Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and many other
locations. Some people even stay at some of the finest resorts in Orlando and
visit all the amusement parks like Disneyworld, Universal Studios, and Sea
World.
When it comes right down to it, Florida beach weddings have a romantic feeling that many people like to dream about. If you pick the right time of the year, you will be able to enjoy cool breezes and moderate humidity. Once you put your feet in the sand and walk down that aisle, you will create a memory that will last a life-time.
