Things To Consider
Today, many busy couples find that they are rushed for time and short on cash when it comes to planning and financing their beach wedding. Blissfully I Do beach weddings offer a sensible yet elegant solution to the expense and headache normally associated with a traditional wedding. Typically, a beach wedding is easier to plan, cheaper to pay for and a whole lot more fun - for everyone - including the guests! There are some 'special issues' though that must be considered when planning a Beach Wedding in Destin, Navarre, Santa Rosa Beach, Fort Walton Beach or anywhere along the Emerald Coast.
Choose your location wisely. Destin, Navarre, Fort Walton Beach and Santa Rosa Beaches are some of our most popular locations but can be quite breezy. Try to pick an area protected from direct winds for your ceremony. Be mindful of the tides although your wedding planner should already be aware of this.
Decide how many guests will be attending. Most beaches in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, Santa Rosa and the surrounding areas do not require a special permit for small informal weddings
Find a wedding planner local to the beach of your choice to perform your wedding ceremony. Blissfully I Do specializes in beach weddings and can provide useful tips as well as very affordable wedding packages. Wedding packages are becoming very popular and are ideal for busy couples. Often they include everything you need from the bouquet to the photography to the filing of your marriage license.
Minimize your reception expenses by planning a sunset ceremony followed by a simple but elegant wine and cheese reception right on the beach.
Rent an outdoor canopy to protect your reception area from rain showers and uninvited seagulls. For a tropical flare, decorate the canopy with tulle and twinkling mini-lights and silk flowers. Use hurricane candles for lighting.
Remember your guest's comfort and safety. Provide seating for the elderly as well as sunscreen and insect repellent just in case. If some of your guests have mobility impairments recognize that it's nearly impossible to push a wheelchair in the sand, and it's very hard for people who have difficulty walking to negotiate sand as well. Many of our beaches have walkways or platforms. Use these accordingly.
