Planning a Florida beach wedding or beach vow renewal is simplified when couples look to professional wedding planners who offer a range of packages. This can also be a good way to keep track of costs when trying to stay within a fixed budget. Unlike some other wedding planners who offer Florida beach wedding packages that cannot be customized, all of the packages from Suncoast Weddings can be tailored, allowing couples to create a unique experience rather than following a cookie-cutter runbook. Suncoast Weddings are premier wedding planners based on the west coast of Florida, based in Treasure Island. Popular local locations for beach weddings include St Pete Beach, Clearwater, Pass-a-Grille, and Madeira Beach. Indian Rocks Beach, Fort de Soto, and Treasure Island. Weddings can also be planned in a park setting, gardens, or local venues like yacht clubs. Offering inspiration for couples looking to say "I Do" or "we still do" in the sunshine state, a representative from Suncoast Weddings states: "Beach weddings are already non-traditional, so think outside the box when it comes to what is expected. It is your big day, so really the choices are endless. If the temperature is likely to be hot, that's another reason to consider a shorter dress. Many couples choose music for parts of their ceremony, and a tea-length dress may be easier to dance in. Certainly, if you plan on going into the surf, then a shorter hemline will help you in the waves and will protect the dress from the salty water. Don't be afraid to choose a gown that isn't the traditional ivory or white … although it is more common in vow renewals to wear a colorful gown, there are no rules for your beach wedding. There aren't many days that are veil-wearing days – so in our opinion, they are a stunning accessory on a magical day. There are so many photo opportunities and often they make the big day's outfit shift from great to sensational. If you are worried about the breeze, then consider the length of the veil and look into veil weights which are cheap to buy and will give a more predictable experience. Veil weights can be decorative as well as functional, adding an extra dimension to the bridal outfit. Florida beach wedding packages may be the starting point for couples looking to plan, but the dress is always going to be high on the 'to do' list. When planning a beach wedding, the lightweight fabric may not only be more comfortable, but it could add some natural movement as the breeze blows in from the Gulf of Mexico, making for whimsical and magical beach wedding snaps. An added bonus if you are having a destination wedding is that lightweight wedding dresses are easier to pack and less bulky." From a small and intimate elopement ceremony with just two people, to a grand and lavish beach wedding event, the team at Suncoast Weddings have the expertise and local contacts to make dreams come true.

Vanstone also details her interactions with ESPN over the past several years and says that this day of coverage of non-mainstream sports being presented as a comedic event falls in line with a pattern of behavior by ESPN that demonstrates the lack of respect they have for flat track roller derby, women's sports, and the LGBTQ community.
