Planning for a Sunny Florida Beach Wedding

Although Florida is sunny 90% of the time; all couples should have a back up plan when considering a beach wedding!

Beach weddings are romantic and beautiful. However, there a many things to consider when planning them as they come with additional things to consider. Below we have listed some helpful tips for you to use and hopefully consider when planning your beach wedding!

Consider your guests comfort: Weather on the beach is normally sunny and HOT. Be a considerate Bride and Groom, think about providing ice cold water bottles for your guest so you don't leave them melting and dehydrated during the ceremony. Your ushers can pass these out as guests arrive to their seats or you can provide a decorated bucket filled with ice and water. Another idea is to provide your wedding program pre-printed on a hand fan or simple umbrellas that color coordinate with your wedding. And don't forget the unscented bug spray, citronella candles or a bug zapper so that your guests won't spend the whole ceremony swatting at the air.!

Have a backup plan: Find a location that has a gazebo or another shelter that you can use for your ceremony or a waiting area for guests just in case Florida showers pass thru. Most couples can generally wait out the brief showers that happen during the summer afternoons here. A tent is another option, but only for light to moderate rain storms and in most locations a permit is required! No tents are allowed on state and federal property. Check with your hotel to see if they offer a room that can be used just in case of heavy showers that will prevent you from having your wedding outside.

Ocean noise can your guests hear your ceremony? When you dream of your wedding at the beach, you're probably not hearing the roaring of the waves, the rushing wind, or the kids screaming around you. Remember your guests took time and spent money to be at your ceremony so be sure they can hear what they paid for.....Magical Moment Weddings offers a sound system with microphone and music for your Magical Ceremony for a price of $75.00.
