Treasure Island, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/20/2023 --Florida beach weddings with Suncoast Weddings can be tailored and themed so they are unique for each couple. As planning can take anywhere from weeks to over a year, most couples typically allow themselves a few months for the planning process. One of the first considerations is deciding on the venue. The west coast is popular for couples looking for sunset portraits, and they are a specialty of Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners based on Treasure Island, near St Pete Beach. With couples planning their summer weddings, the temperatures can get very warm on the beach and there may be little shade. depending on the time of day that the ceremony is held. There are several ideas to help couples plan ahead so that family and friends are more comfortable even on the hottest days. First and foremost, the dress code should be agreed upon, with heavy fabrics discouraged. Many couples opt for a tropical or semi-formal attire and a popular beach wedding sign is a marker where guests are invited to "kick off your shoes for the I Do's" meaning that flip-flops and then bare feet are encouraged. Sunscreen in the summer months is also a good idea, as are hats or caps, and then other fun aspects can be woven in through the ceremony. One way to make the ceremony more fun and create a great photo opportunity is to set out sunglasses for everyone, maybe even with a chalkboard saying something like "the future is so bright, we all need shades". Another way to make guests more comfortable is to refrigerate bottles of water beforehand and then place them on the chairs on the beach so that the guests all have a cool drink when they are seated. Couples sometimes choose to print personalized labels to go around the water bottles. For couples who want to print a program listing the order of the ceremony, making it up as a card that can be affixed to a stick creates a fan that doubles as a keepsake. Another similar idea is to place fans on each chair - either woven or brightly colored to tie in with the theme of the beach wedding. These are not only highly decorative, enhancing the ceremony space, they are practical and can be used to cool down family and friends in the heat of the day. Parasols are another accessory that can be used to shade guests, as well as look good on portraits. Parasols in a variety of colors can be rented from Suncoast Weddings, as can beach wedding signs. Another alternative if the summer heat is a concern is to opt for a morning wedding. There is less chance of the weather being inclement and it is likely to be a cooler part of the day. Suncoast Weddings have arranged morning receptions on the beach to follow a beach wedding which included fresh orange juice as the toast with doughnuts and pastries replacing the traditional cake. This is a fun way to kick off the day, leaving plenty of time to continue the celebrations throughout the rest of the day. It is also more likely that the location is free in the morning so a permit may be easier to book, this can be especially useful for couples who are planning their Florida beach wedding with a very short lead time, as the permit is one of the first steps in the planning process, locking in the venue at a particular date and time so that it cannot be double booked. Perhaps the ultimate cooldown on a hot day is to take a dip in the Gulf of Mexico afterward, making for great portraits and a truly memorable beach wedding experience.
All ceremonies can be tailored with Suncoast Weddings, to individualize the decor and details. From small ceremonies for couples looking at eloping in Florida to lavish ceremonies with a hundred guests, ceremonies can be made to be unique.
Permits are required at most public beaches and should be submitted for approval as early as possible in the planning process to make sure that the location and date can be secured. Suncoast Weddings can help with the permit application process and will add the cost of the permit to the personalized proposal, as the cost varies from city to city.
Florida beach weddings and reception packages may start with a search for cheap beach wedding packages however there are many other outgoings that need to be tallied, like the dress, the travel budget, and certainly the reception.

This effectively 'bundles and saves' which offers the best value for money for the services delivered. Planning the wedding and reception together as part of a package helps to keep the costs totaled in one place and easier to track. A popular alternative to a traditional reception is a dinner cruise reception sailing the inland waterways around St Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, and Clearwater.

With a choice of paddleboats and sleek modern boats, couples can choose a package and location which suits their style and budget.
