Treasure Island, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/18/2023 --Florida beach weddings and vow renewals are a popular choice for couples looking to enjoy a stress-free day in the sunshine state. On Florida's west coast, the most popular time of the day to say "I do" or "we still do" is sunset, which means that the ceremony should be scheduled approximately one hour prior to the published sunset time. This allows time for the ceremony and then group photographs before the photos of the couple alone by the shore as the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico. If the wedding part is particularly large, or if there are extra readings or music planned for the ceremony, then a slightly earlier start time would be advisable.

Although about one third of the couples getting married with Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners based on Treasure Island, are from Florida, most couples and their wedding guests are attending a destination wedding, and so logistics may need to include transport and accommodation. Suncoast Weddings has a list of approved local vendors to make the planning easier for couples who are out of state or out of the US.

With a range of Florida beach wedding packages, couples are able to select a base package and then adapt it to personalize the big day. One of the easiest ways to adapt a ceremony space is to choose a color theme, which can be represented through the arch drapes, sashes on the arch and the chairs, pomanders lining the aisle, accents on the tikis, and the color of the sand used in the unity sand ceremony. Popular colors include turquoise, ivory, lilac, purple, blush, and champagne, whereas popular color combinations include orange and fuchsia, turquoise and lime, turquoise and royal blue, lavender and lemon, peach and turquoise, and royal blue with canary yellow. The colors can then be replicated in a bouquet and can even be a suggestion when the dress code is sent out. Ocean-themed accessories and decor are always popular, with starfish and conch shells often acting as aisle markers, however flowers, much as in a traditional wedding, play a prominent role in many of the ceremony spaces. Baby's Breath is an affordable option year-round and looks particularly charming against a rustic arch of burlap or a tropical arch draped in ivory and white. Stargazer lilies are another favorite, with turquoise and fuchsia often being the favored colors to accompany that theme. Roses are striking and can be purchased in a range of colors. In addition to roses being in the bouquet, and boutonniere, and included in the decor in mason jars or attached to the arch, fresh rose petals can be scattered along the aisle. There are no hidden costs with Suncoast Weddings, so the clear-down required following the ceremony and the removal of the petals is done by the Suncoast Weddings team. It is important to leave the beach pristine after every ceremony, so as well as picking up petals if they are used during the ceremony, the guests are asked not to throw confetti. Some suggestions to replace the confetti include throwing beach balls or blowing bubbles, both of which are fantastic photo opportunities. Beach balls, large or small, can be placed underneath the chairs before the wedding, and individual bottles for blowing bubbles can be left on the chairs. Alternatively, family and friends can pick up a beach ball or a bottle of bubbles from the start of the aisle as they enter the ceremony space. This is similar to the process when there is a blessing stones service when guests are invited to pick up a stone from a basket at the start of the aisle, ready to throw it into the Gulf of Mexico following the vows, wishing the couple a happy future.

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