Planning A Romantic Beach Wedding In Florida
When you think of Florida what do you think of? I think of FUN!As a child I spent time in Florida every year and we had fun at
the beaches, fun at the Theme parks, just plain old fun was had
every time we visited Florida. Now that I’m planning my wedding,
I’m looking for the ideal spot to hold the ceremony, I keep
thinking about the beach wedding I’ve always dreamed of as a
little girl.
For those of you whom have never been to Florida, it’s a
peninsula state located in the Southeastern portion of the
United States. It’s known for its beautiful beaches, Citrus
groves, The Everglades and Theme Parks. It’s also known as the
place that many people like to spend their days in retirement.
It’s no wonder why Florida is one of the top vacation
destinations in the world.
Not surprising, Florida is becoming a popular spot to have
wedding ceremonies. In particular the St. Petersburg and
Clearwater area, this is on the Gulf Coast. These two cities
are reportedly hosting 8,500 weddings annually. The beaches on
this coast are some of the most beautiful in the world, which
make an exciting and romantic backdrop for a wedding.
One of the reasons that Florida’s gulf coast is so popular is
that there are so many options for the bride and groom to
choose. Yes, you can have a beautiful beach wedding but there
are some magnificent Botanical Gardens here also. The Tampa Bay
lighthouse is used for some weddings as well as a number of
unique and exotic locations. With so many options to choose
from, it’s no surprise as to Florida’s rise as one of the top
wedding destinations!
Privacy and romance are top consideration when planning to
perfect Florida wedding. Most of the companies that offer beach
weddings are geared towards small parties under 60. When
considering my budget I was happy to find that the wedding
beach pricing was indeed affordable. Prices range from modest
to extravagant; there is definitely something for every bride
and grooms budget.
Guests will be treated to a memorable experience too. The beach
setting of thundering ocean waves, snow white sand and warm
soothing sun create an atmosphere of bliss for everyone
attending the ceremony. As the bride and groom proceed through
the ceremony, it’s said that all in attendance are moved by the
beauty and romance of the beach setting. The soon to be
newlyweds are not only providing memories that last a lifetime
for themselves but for their guests as well.
Yes, Florida does look like a great wedding destination spot.
If you haven’t considered planning an exotic wedding do you
self a favor and look into it. You may want to contact your
travel agent or an online service to check to see if flying to
Florida will be in your budget. I did and found that the cost
would be far less than a traditional wedding at home. Naturally
we’ll remember this special day where ever we choose to hold it
but having the choice of being married in a romantic location
like one of Florida’s breathtaking beaches or a traditional
indoor wedding, the beach wedding just seems so much more
special. Little did I know that my dream wedding as a little
girl may very well be the wedding that becomes my reality.
