Treasure Island, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/08/2023 --With beach weddings a popular choice in Florida, the west coast is particularly popular because couples may be lucky enough to have a spectacular golden sunset over the Gulf of Mexico as a backdrop. For this reason, sunset, or more precisely, about one hour before sunset, is the most popular time of the day for the "I Do'". That allows plenty of time for a relaxed ceremony, the unity sand ceremony, a blessing stones ceremony if that is taking place, group portraits, and then romantic photos by the shoreline in golden hour.

When planning a beach wedding or vow renewal and thinking ahead to the way the memories would like to be remembered in the future, there are many creative ways to build an album of photos that represent the occasion and the location. One of the simplest yet creative sets of ideas revolves around showcasing the all-important rings. Where the sand is damp near the shoreline, it is firm enough to make imprints of hands, if the couple each place their left hands into the sand deep enough to leave a handprint and then position the rings on the fingers in the sand, this is a classic beach wedding ring shot. Another idea is to position the rings onto the arms of a starfish and take a picture. As sunset approaches, placing a wedding ring in the sand and then taking a photo of the couple through the ring into the distance is also an iconic image. Taking photos of the rings balanced on the bouquet is popular at all weddings, and especially beach-themed if the bouquet on this occasion happens to be made from seashells, or have elements from the beach integrated into a more traditional floral bouquet. Typically, the elements could be seashells, starfish, pearls, sand dollars, or combinations of all of those.

Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners based on Florida's west coast, offer a set of wedding and reception packages so that all the details of the big day can be planned in unison. The added advantage is that the costs are totaled in one place, so it is easier to plan ahead when looking for an affordable beach wedding and reception on a budget. Beach wedding packages in general are designed to help couples 'bundle and save' when choosing multiple elements which could include decor, professional services, set-up and clear-down. For those who like to choose each item separately, that option is also available. All of the beach wedding packages from Suncoast Weddings can be booked for beach vow renewals and elopements, and they can all be tailored in terms of colors and decor elements.

There are several locations to choose from, with the Suncoast Weddings team able to help advise which location may be best when considering factors like accessibility, parking facilities, the size of the wedding party, the timing of high tide, proximity to a reception space, availability of shade or a backup location in case of inclement weather. Choosing the location is one of the first steps in the planning process as a permit is required if the ceremony is to take place on a public beach. Applying for and securing the permit ensures that the location is not double-booked at the time of the ceremony. Suncoast weddings are able to help with that process, with couples normally waiting until they have confirmation before sending out 'save the date' notices to friends and family.

With a stress-free environment and many choices available, couples planning an elopement, vow renewal, or beach wedding with Suncoast Weddings, can choose to be as involved as they want to be, anything from being involved in every decision to being hands-off and leaving it to the team of experts.

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. Affordable Florida beach wedding Packages typically take several elements of the ceremony and offer them at a reduced price when compared to building the wedding from scratch. 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. This affords a great view of the dramatic and ever-changing scenery as the wedding party enjoys the reception fare. With a choice of paddleboats and sleek modern boats, couples can choose a package and location which suits their style and budget.

Treasure Island Weddings, St Pete Beach weddings, Siesta Key weddings, and Clearwater beach weddings boast spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for couples who want sunset wedding day portraits. Florida beach weddings and reception packages can be purchased which include the ceremony and also the party to follow.
