I hear so many thoughts on beach weddings all the time being a wedding planner based out of Palm Beach, and some of them are not so great! I personally love a tasteful beach wedding if it is planned perfectly, which is why I wanted to share some reasons to have a destination beach wedding. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or if you need some advice for your own beach wedding!

This one is also a piece of advice that I think applies across the board for outdoor weddings, but a major influence on the photos of your ceremony is the lighting. If you work with a wedding planner in the destination that you are choosing, that planner can tell you when the sun typically sets on your date; pick a ceremony time during the golden hour and your photos will be gorgeous! On the beaches of South Florida, however, there is an undeniable glow that just feels so bridal behind a ceremony space as a bride and groom seal their vows. During this time, the Earth begins to cool down and the ocean takes on a shade of blue that you will want in every. single. photo.

Ladies (and let's be honest, gentlemen) this one's for you. No one will blame you if you get married barefoot on the beach, and they may actually go barefoot themselves too. There is something about the way the sand feels on your feet that makes you instantly relax and enjoy yourself. I find that most of my destination brides want their guests to feel relaxed and like they can have fun during their weddings, and there is no more perfect destination for this than the beaches of South Florida.

This is possibly my favorite reason of all! A destination wedding is a vacation in many ways where you can spend a few days with your guests rather than a few hours. If you decide to host your wedding reception in a hotel, your wedding planner can set up a room block for you and your guests so you can all stay in the same hotel together. This means days by the pool and beaches, dinners and brunches together, and so much more of that treasured quality time that we cherish during weddings. Plus, think of the gorgeous tan you will have! (Just remember that sunblock is your friend and sunburn on your wedding day is not easily covered up (-:)
