Engagement Season Is Here!

We always talk about Wedding Season, but there's another season that drives wedding season. It's Engagement Season! Have you noticed the signs?

Personally, we're always amazed that every other commercial on TV or Hulu is a diamond or jeweler ad. The Holidays are here and the future grooms are ready with the bling!

Here's a fun article written by The Wedding Channel that gives us "9 Ways to Know It's Engagement Season." http://tinyurl.com/lk855j6

1. Your Facebook news feed is full of relationship status changes and ring photos.

Whether it's close-up shots of left hands with new rings or the infamous one-armed self-portrait of that newly engaged duo, your news feed is now dominated by diamonds.

2. You compartmentalize your friends into "guests" and "nonguests."

With all your friends making wedding plans, you've started your own mental guest list.

3. You notice every other TV commercial is for Zales, Jared or Kay.

Every other commercial features a proposal scene, and let's face it: You've got all the lines memorized.

4. You and your friends bring up wedding planning like it's the weather.

Whether you're sharing mutual snark over Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage, debating the merits of Kate Middleton's dress or fantasizing about your reception -- these days, wedding talk is the newest hot topic.

5. You find yourself divvying up vacation days to wedding weekends.

You may not be taking any "just for fun" trips in the near future because most of your vacation days have been used up for traveling to weddings and the related parties. On the upside, you've been able to attend some pretty awesome parties.

6. Your boss has caught you on wedding websites (like WeddingChannel.com) more than once.

The most trafficked time of the week for wedding websites is midweek afternoons. Which means you might want to think about a boss button.

7. You find yourself pausing outside of jewelry stores.

There's no harm in a little window-shopping (just try not to drool on the glass).

8. You've become familiar with wedding terms like "fondant" and "composite bouquet."

You may not be picking out a Sylvia Weinstock cake anytime soon, but you've already got the terminology down. From knowing the pros and cons of fondant vs. buttercream frostings to the merits of a composite bouquet -- a single large flower bouquet made from several smaller flowers or petals -- you've learned a whole new vocabulary.

9. You can't go out to dinner without someone at the next table popping the question.

Another dropped piece of silverware? No, that's just one more person getting down on one knee. If your own romantic dinner for two is constantly being upstaged by polite claps and restaurant-wide "Awws," you know you're in the thick of it. Check, please.

Most marriage proposals (approximately 39 percent) take place between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. But even if you weren't aware of that stat, we're betting you've seen some of the signs.

Do you use Tumblr?

Not long ago, we learned about Tumblr! Do you have an account? Do you know what #Tumblr is? Here's the definition:

is a microblogging platform and social networking website founded by David Karp and owned by Yahoo! Inc. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog.

We love it because we can showcase photos in a set and use hashtags "#" to enable easier searching of content. Go check out our Tumblr account for more photos! http://sunsetbeachweddings.tumblr.com/

Happy Anniversary!

How do you celebrate your wedding anniversary? Some of our past couples come back to the beach for their anniversary. Some even come back to the exact place they got married!

We encourage our past couples to schedule a family photo shoot when they come back. We love seeing families grow! Give us a call or email to schedule your family photos on the beach!

Beach Wedding Ceremony Music

Many of the packages that Sunset Beach Weddings offers for your destination beach wedding include ceremony music. You can always add ceremony music to any package as well. We use digital MP3 players amplified through a battery powered speaker/amp so we don't need the songs themselves, we either have them already or download them as needed.

We encourage our couples to choose music that has significance for them. Many couples want traditional music. Songs like the Bridal March, Bridal Chorus, Canon in D, etc. Some like classical music with a mix of traditional music. Others choose less conventional music, country, rock, folk, etc. We enjoy hearing a variety of music.

You can choose music for mingling (about 30 minutes of music (5-6 songs). Then, processional songs for you and your wedding party. Last, a song for your recessional (exit)! The exit song is typically an upbeat song!

Now that you're geared up to choose some great songs, don't over think it! Your music choices aren't going to make or break your wedding! Just have some fun with it!

The Beaches of 30a (Santa Rosa Beach) is a great Destination Wedding Location!

People who live in the mid-south have been coming to Panama City Beach and Destin for years. But have you ever considered the Beaches of 30a for your vacation or destination beach wedding? Located in between Destin and Panama City Beach, this area is laid back and less developed than most Florida Beach towns. Also refered to as Santa Rosa Beach or the Beaches of South Walton.

Within this area, each beach town retains it's original name. So Dune Allen Beach (Gulf Place), Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, Seacrest, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach. Sometimes Inlet Beach is included as well. http://30a.com/

Sunset Beach Weddings is located on historic HWY 30a, and we love performing weddings here. Give us a call to talk about your Florida Beach Wedding!

Choosing your Florida Beach Wedding date! Did you push back a year because of 2013?

Here's an interesting article about the affect of the superstition of the number 13 on the 2013 wedding season.

Did you delay your wedding to 2014 because of the number 13? We didn't notice a difference in bookings from 2012 to 2013, but we have noticed an increase in early bookings for 2014 from previous years. Could this be because of the number 13 or just that the economy is getting better? It's interesting none-the-less.
