The Allure of Florida Beach Weddings

Florida beach weddings are the epitome of romance and serenity. Picture a sun-kissed elopement with your toes in the sand and the soothing sound of waves as your backdrop. The allure of beach weddings in Florida lies in their natural beauty and simplicity, making them an ideal choice for couples seeking an intimate and picturesque ceremony. From show-stopping ceremonies on the sand to personalized touches that make your day uniquely yours, Florida’s beaches offer endless possibilities.

Why I Chose to Specialize in Florida Beach Weddings

I relocated to Florida with a clear vision: to focus on elopement photography, particularly seaside weddings. Specializing in beach elopements allows me to capture the magic of these intimate ceremonies in a way that truly resonates with couples. My expertise in beach weddings is not an overstatement; it’s a passion that drives me to create stunning, memorable experiences for every couple I work with.

Navigating the Details of Your Beach Elopement

For many beach elopement couples, the absence of a wedding planner or venue coordinator means relying on a skilled photographer who can also handle the logistics. That’s where I come in. Beyond capturing beautiful photos, I assist in designing and organizing the details that make your beach wedding seamless and spectacular. Whether you’re in Florida or planning to travel here, I’m ready to meet you and document your special day.

My Favorite Beaches for Florida Beach Weddings

Being based in Central Florida allows me to recommend some of the best beaches within driving distance of Orlando, on both the Atlantic and Gulf sides.

Atlantic Side Beaches:

• Vilano Beach: A hidden gem near St. Augustine, Vilano Beach boasts a stunning rock jetty and close proximity to the charming city.
• Anastasia Island State Park: This beautiful white sand beach near St. Augustine offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere.
• Ponce Inlet: Perfect for intimate weddings with less than 50 people, Ponce Inlet doesn’t require a permit. It’s dog-friendly, features a picturesque lighthouse, and is known for its dreamy golden hour and frequent dolphin sightings.

Gulf Side Beaches:

• Lido Key Beach: Known for its crystal-clear waters and white sand, Lido Key Beach offers amazing views and a tranquil setting.
• Anna Maria Island: Often referred to as Florida’s best-kept secret, Anna Maria Island provides a charming and intimate backdrop for weddings.
• Treasure Island: With its wide, expansive beach, Treasure Island feels like your own private paradise, perfect for a secluded and romantic ceremony.

Ideas to consider for Florida Beach Weddings

Now for all the ideas for all the sun-kissed, toes-in-the-sand elopements for Florida Beach Weddings. Beach wedding ideas with a dash of salt (we’re talking oceanside after all, aren’t we?)!

1. A small ceremony at the shore
2. Pop champagne (and maybe spray it too)
3. A romantic beach dinner for two

Ways to celebrate Florida Beach Weddings with family

1. Rent a beachside airbnb for everyone
2. Host a dinner at a nearby restaurant
3. Have a beachside picnic with your nearest and dearest

Florida Beach Weddings Decor

My recommendation here is to keep it simple. No shoes are even needed. After all, the whole point is to not only save costs on extravagant venues, but to let the landscape itself be the finishing touch. If anything, I recommend bringing a small ceremony sign, decorating the area with flowers and perhaps adding a low-sitting charcuterie table.

Beach Wedding Dresses

1. Simply satin
2. All the lace
3. Off the shoulder
4. One shoulder
5. Strapless
6. Sweetheart neckline

Suit Ideas

1. Blue Suit
2. Gray suit
3. Navy suit
4. Black suit with a colorful lining for a sprinkling of personality

Beach Wedding Cake Ideas

Start with vanilla or white chocolate and then go from there!

1. Single tier white with a touch of fresh flowers from your florist
2. Three tiers with your wedding colors – could be tropical!
3. Seashells for decor
4. Pastel blue and white
5. Sand-style crumble (don’t use sand, but ask your baker to create a sand-like crumble!)
6. Or a non traditional route with one of my favorites – french macrons!

Florida Beach Weddings Arch Ideas

• Wooden pillars with white material hung on top (the most classic choice)
• Cascading floral arch
• Geometric/industrial (like the triangles you’ve seen pop up on your Pinterest feed)
• Just flowers in large vases (gorgeous, but the easiest to DIY and more cost effective)
