Anna Maria Island Beach Weddings
A Few Tips for a Successful Wedding
Planning a beach wedding is different than planning a traditional in door wedding. These tips will help you plan the PERFECT wedding atop the white sands of Florida:1) Having a beach wedding can help you save big, as most beaches dont have fees and are public domain. HOWEVER: Make Sure to check with the local authority before you set your plans in stone... every city has different laws and rules about beach use.
2) Ask your photographer and videographer if they are fine with working out doors in the sun (hopefully!) all day. Some photographers do not like to work in these conditions.
3) Plan for the worst, but expect the best!! You dont control a lot of aspects of your beach wedding, such as weather - so be prepared.
4) Bring Sunscreen. Duh! But make sure to put some on your flower girl and the rest of your tiny wedding party members.
5) Some companies will charge extra for beach weddings. This includes rental companies, ministers, photographers and everybody else in between. Ask before you book!
These are just a few tips on beach weddings, but there is lots more to learn!
Every wedding is different, because every couple is different - so using these as a guideline will help make your wedding day one for the books.
Congrats!
Beach Weddings - tis' the Season!
Growing ever more popular, especially around spring!
Here are some questions we often hear, all about Destination Weddings on Anna Maria Island:
What is a Destination Wedding?
A destination wedding is when you travel to a special place for your wedding. It might be just the two of you (also known as eloping!), or you might include a group of friends and family. It's an appealing option if you want to do something different, 'enforce' a small guest list, hold the wedding at a place equally (in)convenient for far-flung family, or just 'get away'!" Ten percent of weddings today are now considered "destination weddings".
Do we bring guests along?
As mentioned above, guests are optional. Having guests in attendance will distinguish your "destination wedding" from a traditional elopement.
How do I get my wedding dress there safely?
If you are flying, you can usually make arrangements with your airline in advance. First-class cabins have large "coat closets" that can be used for bridal gown storage. If your plane does not have a first-class area (on airlines such as Southwest), it is highly recommended that you package the dress in a large box and ship it to your destination in advance, carefully packed in tissue to hold its shape. Regardless of the method you choose, look into having your gown pressed at a local cleaners upon your arrival. Your hotel's concierge and/or wedding coordinator can help with this.
