Treasure Island, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/14/2023 --Planning a beach wedding, especially from out of state, can be a daunting task as there are so many choices to be made ... where to have the wedding? How close is the reception venue? What paperwork is required? How far in advance do I need to book the ceremony? That's why couples from around the world look to local experts like Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners on Florida's west coast, who can support a couple on their beach wedding journey from the first inquiry through to the happily ever after.

Couples can choose to be as involved as they would like to be. Some couples see an image on social media or the website and then ask the Suncoast Weddings team to replicate that for their big day. Others like to be involved in every decision, like what kind of aisle markers will be used, should the aisle be straight or sweeping, how will the chairs be arranged, etc.

One of the first questions to answer is where the wedding or vow renewal will happen. This is because a permit is usually required if the beach is a public beach. The permit fee depends on the city, and Suncoast Weddings can help apply for the permit, which, when granted, secures that the location at that time will not be double-booked by someone else. For popular days like weekends and holidays, it is advisable to apply for the permit well in advance, although weekdays and mornings are always a good alternative if time is short. Whilst couples usually start planning their beach wedding or vow renewal a few months in advance, it is possible to start planning a few weeks in advance. Once the date and location have been secured with a permit, that is the best time to send out the 'save the date' notices to family and friends. When groups travel together to Florida to attend the wedding, there are many accommodation options allowing everyone to stay close together. Some of the places to stay are very close to the beach, and some weddings can be arranged just steps from the property. This makes the logistics of the big day so much easier.

Florida beach wedding packages by Suncoast Weddings have been designed to take the guesswork out of what may be required. They typically include a mix of professional services and wedding decor. Smaller packages include the Gulf Beach package with a heart of fresh rose petals in the sand, and larger packages, typically chosen when there are more guests, centered around a bamboo arch that can be draped in chiffon. Ivory and white chiffon are always popular and create a traditional ceremony space, although there are many options for the beach which other chiffon colors including orange, navy, turquoise, lime green, sage, royal blue, purple, lilac, lavender, yellow, Suncoast blue, tiffany blue, cornflower blue, eggplant, hot pink, electric blue, fuchsia, black, copper, silver, and gold. Some color pairings are more popular than others, such as turquoise and lime, orange and fuchsia, and royal blue with turquoise. When bold colors are not the preferred choice, they can still add a more subtle pop of color to the ceremony space when added as accents on the arch or as chair sashes.

Floral accents can be added, with silk flowers and swags being a way to keep the wedding affordable yet stylish. A selection of swags and floral accents are available to rent from Suncoast Weddings, as are beach wedding signs which can personalize the ceremony space.

All ceremonies can be tailored with Suncoast Weddings, to individualize the decor and details. From small ceremonies for couples looking at eloping in Florida to lavish ceremonies with a hundred guests, ceremonies can be made to be unique.

Permits are required at most public beaches and should be submitted for approval as early as possible in the planning process to make sure that the location and date can be secured. Suncoast Weddings can help with the permit application process and will add the cost of the permit to the personalized proposal, as the cost varies from city to city.

Florida beach weddings and reception packages may start with a search for cheap beach wedding packages however there are many other outgoings that need to be tallied, like the dress, the travel budget, and certainly the reception. Affordable Florida beach wedding Packages typically take several elements of the ceremony and offer them at a reduced price when compared to building the wedding from scratch. This effectively 'bundles and saves' which offers the best value for money for the services delivered. Planning the wedding and reception together as part of a package helps to keep the costs totaled in one place and easier to track. A popular alternative to a traditional reception is a dinner cruise reception sailing the inland waterways around St Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, and Clearwater. This affords a great view of the dramatic and ever-changing scenery as the wedding party enjoys the reception fare. With a choice of paddleboats and sleek modern boats, couples can choose a package and location which suits their style and budget.

Treasure Island Weddings, St Pete Beach weddings, Siesta Key weddings, and Clearwater beach weddings boast spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for couples who want sunset wedding day portraits. Florida beach weddings and reception packages can be purchased which include the ceremony and also the party to follow. This may include items such as a DJ, a custom-made cake, a coordinator for the wedding, and a professional beach wedding photographer.
