Sunset Beach Weddings has a strong online presence with our website - www.sunsetbeachwed.com and www.beachelope.com - as well as on various social medias - www.facebook.com/sunsetbeachwed.  We take pride in contributing to our home town of Santa Rosa Beach being named Google's Florida E-City of the year!  

Santa Rosa Beach is also known by other names, like The Beaches of 30a, and The Beaches of South Walton.  These "umbrella" names include all the smaller beach communities within; Dune Allen Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Seaside, Seagrove, Seacrest, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and sometimes included Inlet Beach.

All of these are perfect for your Florida Destination Beach Wedding!

Deciding on how many to include in your bridal party.

How many people should be in your bridal party?  The answer to this varies depending on your wedding details.  Is your wedding a destination wedding?  What is your budget?  What are your potential wedding party members budgets?  The rules can be relaxed a bit when having a destination wedding in our opinion.  You don't necessarily need the same number of Bridesmaids and Groomsmen.  

How many did you have in your wedding party?  Did you have flower girls and ring bearers?  Did you have a destination wedding?  How did your wedding party handle the extra cost of traveling?


That's a really cool photograph none-the-less!

Rain on my Florida Beach Wedding Day?

Will it rain on my wedding day?  In Florida the answer is probably.  Will it rain on my wedding?  The answer to this one is different, probably not!  The weather here is generally very nice from spring to fall.  That said, it can rain, but mostly the threat would be isolated passing summer showers.  

Should I have a backup plan in place?  Probably!  If you can a solid backup is nice, but the problem is that solid backup locations generally cost money, alot of money.  Most people won't pay up front for a location they're not likely to use.  We like to use flexibility as our backup plan.  We watch the weather as we get closer (the week of and specifically the day before and morning of) and give you options if we see a weather problem.  Usually a slight move in time is the best course, but a solid backup plan can't hurt.  

Ultimately, we want you married on sand, so depending on how bad it is, umbrellas and time changes usually do the trick.  Backup locations would be used in a worst-case-scenario and we can do some make-up photography the next day as needed depending on your/our schedule!  Scheduling your wedding at the beginning of your trip is wise, so that you can use days after for your wedding and photography.  Your guests might consider the same thing.

Remember that you're having an outdoor event!  Rain and wind are always a possibility, it's unrealistic to think that your day will be perfect.  But, don't let it drive you crazy!  Sunset Beach Weddings will worry about it for you, go enjoy the beach!

Beach Wedding Locations in Destin Florida

When couples start planning their destination beach wedding, they sometimes struggle with where to have it!  Most couples want to know the location of their wedding, and then plan everything else around that.  However, we plan in a different order.  We recommend that you choose your location last, after deciding on which beach town you want to visit, and choosing your lodging.  Most times your beach wedding can be performed right where you're staying.

But, an exception to this wedding location question is Henderson Beach State Park in Destin.  Unlike most Florida State Parks, Henderson will reserve you a pavilion right on the beach and a beach location for your wedding.  Some of our couples use the pavilion for their reception as well!  Catering can be brought in, DJ's, and other services.  www.floridastateparks.org/hendersonbeach/

We are licensed and insured to work in the State Parks.  Might be something to consider for your beach wedding!
