Tips For Organizing Beach Weddings And Receptions

By Cathy Mercer


In the past it, the church has always been the location for weddings. Times have changed however and it has become more acceptable to go to a specific destination for this particular ceremony. Florida beach weddings and receptions have continued to grow in popularity. There are however a number of challenges that have to be overcome if you want to pull of this celebration.

You are not the only one who likes going to the beach. If the site is particularly popular, there will be many locals and tourists to deal with. Know which months have the highest number of visitors. Avoid choosing these months so your ceremony does not become a spectacle.

You do have check what the laws are like. Because these sites are typically public properties, certain activities are not allowed. Check if you will be needing a permit to hold such an event. If you want to have a bonfire or if you want to serve alcohol, then you have to check first. You might want to fence of an area just for the occasion. Know what is allowed and what is not to avoid problems during the actual event.

You will need a good audio system so that everyone can keep up with the ceremony and the music during the celebration. The audio has to be good enough so that the sound of the waves will not overpower it. Additionally, sand or water can easily get in the equipment. Make sure that it is well protected.

Weather is unpredictable. If you do not want your guests and your decorations to get soaked, then you have to be prepared with an alternative. Just in case the sun is shining too brightly, consider erecting structures to provide shade. You can also just choose a site that is near an establishment to solve all these issues.

It will be up to you to decide what the dress code should be like but always remember that you will be near water. There will be a lot of sand and if the sun is out, it can be uncomfortably hot. It will be highly impractical to require your guests to wear formal gowns.

Make preparations for the wind and the tide. Know how high the tide will be so you can position yourself accordingly. The wind can be strong so you have to make sure that there is a way for you to secure all those decorations. You might also want to think about your hair and your dress when the wind is going to be strong.

Do not forget to make arrangements for returning all the equipment you rented and for cleaning all the garbage that may be left behind. If this is not included in the package you have chosen, then arrange an alternative. Leave the site clean so nobody complains about the event.

Florida beach weddings and receptions is a popular choice for many couples. If you are one of these couples, then you have to go over certain details to ensure that there will be no issues during the big day. Check the regulations and consider the weather when you are making the arrangements. Make sure that your guest are comfortable and that there will be people who are assigned to the task of cleaning up.
