By Tiffany Gill


Marriage ceremonies are among expensive functions in terms of time and money that people hold today. It is the dream of most people to celebrate their union in style. The invited guests look forward for an elegant function too and organizers cannot dare fail them. For those short of time and money to fund such a function, it is still possible to create a stunning event by opting for Florida beach weddings. These are cheap, easier to organize and will present an awesome experience for both the couple and their guests.

To create a successful event beside the ocean, you need to learn a few tips that will guide you through the process. Make wise choice of the location. This is because beaches experience frequent breeze and there could be tides too. Choose an area free of direct winds and beware of the tides.

Determine the number of guests expected to attend the function. In most cases, you will not need a permit to host a small informal function along the beach. This is a plus to your planning. Of importance is to seek counsel from the relevant authorities and make sure you follow their set requirements.

In order to save money, look for a marriage officiate from the area around the beach you are hosting the ceremony. These are familiar with such functions and could be of great help when planning. They mostly officiate weddings held in beaches and may have ideas on where to get the best packages for the ceremony, reception and photo session.

Make sure the hired wedding officiate have the relevant licenses. Mostly, when you are busy and in a hurry to get things done you can fall prey to con men. Some pose as clerics or government officials and it may be too late for you to notice they are con men. Check their licenses and other documents before hiring them to conduct your marriage ceremony.

Make plans about unforeseen incidents like rains. You could hire a tent or an outdoor canopy for the reception area. This will keep your guests covered in case of rains as well as bar aggressive birds like seagulls. Do not forget to decorate your canopy to give the ground an elegant appearance depending on your theme. A good suggestion is use of mini lights and silk flowers in addition to hurricane candles for lighting.

It is vital to consider the different groups of people making up your guests. Look for ways to make all of them comfortable. Find out if there are elder people who may have challenges standing for long and provide seats. Have in mind that walking on the sand is challenging for people in wheelchairs or having other physical challenges. This makes it wise to choose areas near walkways and pavements for the ceremony.

When planning for Florida beach weddings, choose your attires wisely. Most of the times the beaches are hot and one may need to wear a light gown. Keep your hair casual as this looks better when tousled by the sea breeze than when you had an official style. Guests will also look better in casual outfits. However, consider the season and choose your designs depending on the weather. It also helps to adopt a casual theme for the function to make everything appear elegant.
