Tips for Beach Weddings Part 1

Beach weddings in Florida can be beautiful affairs that will make lasting memories for all involved. However, there are some major and minor differences between an indoor wedding and one occurring on a beach. For this reason, there are few things to keep in mind to ensure your beach wedding runs as smoothly as possible.

Think about privacy

You want your friends and family at your wedding ceremony, but you probably don’t want the general public crowding the event. Public beaches can be quite crowded, especially on holiday weekends. So be careful when picking a date and deciding between which private or public beach you’d like to have the ceremony at.

Use the natural beauty to your advantage

There are a lot of benefits to having outdoor weddings, one of the biggest being that nature provides its own beautiful decorations. On a beach, you already have the sand, sky, and beautiful ocean as your backdrop. Instead of loading up on other decorations, highlight the natural beauty of your setting.

Think about time of day

Weddings are photographed to remember forever, for both the happy couple and their guests. Natural, outdoor lighting can lend itself to stunning images, if you’re careful about what time of day you’re snapping pictures. The hours before sunset often photograph well, so a later ceremony could be good for pictures and allow a beautiful view of sunset.

Reasons to Renew Your Vows Part 2

Vow renewals are joyous celebrations of the love between two individuals that can occur any number of years into a marriage. With divorce rates for new marriages rising, vow renewals become even more celebratory and rare. There are a variety of reasons a couple may choose to say “I do” a second time and in a previous blog we’ve touched on a few of the most common ones. Here are a couple more:

Formal ceremony

Sometimes, two people are so in love they just can’t wait to get their lives started with one another and end up eloping or making a quick trip to the courthouse for the nuptials. While they may not regret this quick marriage, down the line they may regret not having certain family and loved ones there to celebrate. Vow renewals allow those joined in quick marriages to have a formal ceremony with friends and family.

Love

Above all else, one of the best and simplest reasons to renew vows is because of love. Sometimes, two people very much in love can fall out of it with time, but there are always couples that defy this and love each other more each and every day. Vow renewals are a great way to celebrate this happy and successful union.

If you and your significant other are thinking about renewing your vows and are considering a destination wedding of sorts, turn to FL Destination Weddings. We have a variety of Florida beach wedding packages to choose from and will help you create an unforgettable event.

Reasons to Renew Your Vows Part 1

Unfortunately, divorces are becoming more prominent in society; with around 40 to 50% of first marriages ending in one. However, that doesn’t discourage people from joyously marrying their significant others or even saying “I do,” a second time around. Couples choose to renew their vows for a variety of reasons, but either way, vow renewals give couples the opportunity to form another fond, loving memory to share. Here are some of the most common reasons couples decide to renew their vows.

Financial Stability

Often, young couples don’t have the extra funds to have the wedding of their dreams. This can result in a variety of outcomes from the bride not having her dream dress to the couple not being able to invite as many people as they’d like. Later on, spouses may find themselves more financially stable, allowing them to renew their vows with their dream ceremony.

Milestone Anniversary

As mentioned above, divorces are on the rise. This gives even more reason to celebrate a 1^st, 5^th, 10^th or 20^th anniversary! When a couple has reached one of these milestone anniversaries, it’s a great opportunity to celebrate their love and unity with family and friends.

Inclusion of New People

A lot of couples get married before they have started a family together, or before meeting lifelong friends they wish they could’ve had at their nuptials. Vow renewals allow couples to include their children in the ceremony or even have people who couldn’t make the original wedding.

If you and your significant other are considering a vow renewal, what better way to do it is there but a sunny beach destination? Consider a destination wedding in Florida for your second “I do,” for an unforgettable experience.
