Treasure Island, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/10/2022 --Florida beach weddings are a popular choice for couples from around the US as well as further afield, with weddings on the west coast being known in particular for ceremonies at sunset. When looking to schedule a starting time for the wedding or vow renewal, generally one hour before the published sunset time is a good guideline. This allows enough time for a relaxed ceremony, and then group pictures before the couple can go to the shoreline with the photographer for the perfect golden hour portraits. If the wedding party is particularly large, or if the ceremony is likely to be extended by a recital or a reading, then allowing more time and scheduling the ceremony 90 minutes or so before sunset makes sense. Sunset is the most popular time of the day for Florida beach weddings, and so when a wedding is being booked at short notice, choosing a ceremony time earlier in the day may make it easier to get a permit, as there is less chance the venue will be double booked. Morning weddings also have several other advantages, for instance, the temperature is generally cooler in the morning, reception venues may also be easier to book earlier in the day, and is there is inclement weather, that often develops in the afternoon in Florida, whereas the mornings are often cloud-free.

Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners based in Treasure Island on Florida's west coast, have several Florida beach wedding packages to choose from, and couples can also build their own ceremony from an a la carte menu. Packages are typically the best value as they bundle and save elements of beach wedding decor as well as professional services. Decor could include a bamboo arch, draping, tikis lining the aisle, pomanders, silk flowers, chairs, a unity table for the unity sand ceremony, shepherds' hooks with mason jars, a swept aisle which could be straight or sweeping, parasols, or something unique and custom. Professional services could include a specialist beach wedding photographer, who can be hired for pre-wedding photos as well as reception photos, a videographer, who may also be able to include drone footage, an officiant, staff to set up and break down the decor, and a day-of coordinator who can help organize the entire wedding party, removing stress from the couple on their happy day, as well as having the experience to deal with the unexpected if plans are forced to change.

Couples often want to read their own vows at a beach wedding and ask for advice on where to start. Suncoast Weddings have been involved in many beach weddings, elopements, and vow renewals, and are happy to help with planning details from the very first inquiry through to the wedding day. When couples are looking at a blank piece of paper and don't know where to start with their vows, a good suggestion is to think of a song that means a lot to both people. Thinking of the lyrics in that song, can they form part of the vows, or can they start as the inspiration for the vows? The Suncoast Weddings website also has a section where different texts are shared that may be best suited to a beach wedding. The sea shore ceremony is an example, in part, the ceremony includes " The happy couple wants to thank all of you for sharing is this celebration of their commitment to each other. As the tides ebb and flow, so too, do the fortunes of life. Footprints in the sand are washed away, driftwood moves on its endless quest for a peaceful harbor. Only a deep and abiding love can withstand the tides of change in two lives ... I give you this ring as a symbol of my commitment to you, as powerful and endless as the sea"

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 on a budget 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. This may include items such as a DJ, a custom-made cake, a coordinator for the wedding, and a professional beach wedding photographer.
