Sand Key Park in Clearwater – Florida Beach Wedding Spotlight

This week for our Florida Beach Wedding Spotlight we are going to move North into Clearwater. Clearwater Beach is a top tourist destination and well known for i’ts white sandy beaches, live music, restaurants, resorts and activities galore. There are a couple of places that we recommend to our couples for their Weddings in Clearwater. The first is Sand Key Park…here’s a sneak peak of some of our past Weddings in Sand Key Park.

Weddings on Sand Key Park in Clearwater Florida

Sand Key Park is the perfect setting for large Weddings. It’s a wide spread white sand beach with lots of room to host your Wedding. There is plenty of parking for your guests and additional photo opportunities with lifeguard stands and rock jetties. Sand Key Park has covered picnic shelters that can serve as a casual setting for your Beach Reception. There are a few additional expenses to consider when booking your Beach Wedding on Sand Key.  Parking is $5 per car and you will have to obtain a permit if you want to set up any decor or chairs for your Wedding. Permits start at $214.

If you would like more information about planning your Clearwater Beach Wedding in Sand Key Park contact us today at (813) 852-2795 or visit our Ceremony Packages Page.

Sunset Beach – Florida Beach Wedding Spotlight

Probably the most popular question that we receive from our couples is “What is the best beach for a Florida Beach Wedding?”. We would love to tell you that there is just one that ranks at the top of our list but the truth is that while all of our Beaches are beautiful they each have their own unique personality and qualities. It’s important to us that when we answer this question we know a little bit more about you and what you envision for your Wedding day.  Are you looking for a beach that offers the most privacy or do you want the convenience of walking to your Ceremony site from your hotel? Questions like this need to be answered before you make your final decision on where you would like your Florida Beach Wedding.

Over the next couple of weeks we are going to spotlight the Florida Beaches that we most commonly recommend. How are we going to do this? By video of course!  We can go on an on about the beaches over the phone or by email but lets face it, nothing beats pictures!! Each week we will post a new slide show video that will show off weddings that have been planned at each location and then tell you a little more about what the beach has to offer.

First up is Sunset Beach in Treasure Island!

Treasure Island Florida Beach Weddings

Sunset Beach is perfect for Weddings with fewer than 50 Guests. Located in a residential area it is away from the large hotel chains, beach cabanas and bars. It is the perfect setting for an intimate Ceremony and has lots of photo opportunities with it’s boardwalks, rock jetties, and amazing sunsets. There is plenty of metered parking for your guests and public restrooms. Additionally, the Beach Pavilion can be rented out as an affordable option for your casual reception. You might even catch the dolphins playing nearby as the sun begins to set!  For more details on having your Treasure Island Florida Beach Wedding contact us at (813) 852-2795 or visit our Florida Beach Wedding Package Page.

Top 10 Reasons to Plan a Destination Wedding

Florida Destination Weddings have become increasingly popular here in the Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Treasure Island Areas. Brides today are looking to get more bang for their buck and still do something unique, fresh, and fun. Here are the 10 Ten Reasons to Plan a Destination Wedding:

Madeira Beach Weddings

 

1. Care-Free & Stress Free: Imagine booking your Wedding, choosing a package, and then arriving to have it all taken care of. Sound too good to be true? It’s not, Destination Wedding Packages are designed with the Destination Bride in mind. Everything is pre-decided before your arrival and carefully executed while you are taking in the beautiful Sunshine of our beaches. We often joke with our Brides that, “All you have to do is show up on time” Our Hair and Make-Up Stylists come to your hotel room to get you ready, your Flowers are delivered right to your Ceremony site, and we even work with a Dry Cleaner that will pick up your dress upon your arrival to steam and deliver to you the following day. Every little detail is taken care of so that you can sit back and enjoy the day and not worry about the details!

2. Save on Decor: Since all of our Beach Wedding Packages include items like Centerpieces for your Reception you will be able to cross that expense right off your list. Additionally, you won’t have the hassle of shopping for those items and the added expense of shipping them to your destination and back home again.

3. Built-in Vacation: Your Guests will appreciate the opportunity to not only attend your Florida Beach Wedding but to combine the time off with work for an extended vacation. Our local hotels offer discounted rates when booking a large group so they will also be able to cash in on the additional savings.

4. Keeps Your Guest Count in Check: When trying to plan a Wedding on a budget, it can be difficult to exclude certain Friends or Family without hurting their feelings. Destination Weddings are a great way to keep your Guest count in check. There will most certainly be Friends or Family members that can’t or don’t want to spend the money to travel abroad. The fact is that a lot of Destination Weddings have fewer than 50 guests and even more with fewer than 25 guests. It’s a great way to keep your Wedding an intimate affair and your budget on track.

5. Instant Honeymoon: You have chosen a beautiful location for your Florida Beach Wedding Ceremony so why not extend it into a Honeymoon? With popular tourist destinations like Busch Gardens and Disney within driving distance of our beaches you are sure to have a fun filled Honeymoon.

6. Cost Effective: Florida Destination Wedding Packages are surprisingly cost-effective. In most cases, there is no charge to use our Beaches for your Wedding. Who doesn’t like FREE?! Imagine planning a Florida Beach Wedding for 25 of your closest Friends and Family and spending less than $1500 for it!

7. Picturesque Memories: No one can deny the gorgeous sunsets that we have. You are just not going to get pictures like this in Indiana!

Sand Key Park Clearwater Wedding

8. Unique Venue: Is there anything more romantic than a Beach Wedding?! Just think of the bragging rights you will have to all your Friends, Co-Workers, and Family abroad. No boring hometown venue for you!!

9. Quality Time with Loved Ones: Let’s face it. Life today is busy… insanely busy. How many times do you find yourself saying to a Friend or a Family member that you need to make some time to get together? What a great way to get some quality time in with the ones you love. Especially if everyone is extending your Wedding into a vacation.

10. Packages Available 7 Days a Week: Saturdays aren’t the only day for Weddings anymore. We offer Florida Beach Wedding Packages 7 days a Week!

Black + White Florida Beach Wedding

Black and White Florida Beach Wedding - Treasure Island Beach Wedding

If you would have asked me a month ago what I thought about Black and White as a color theme for your Florida Beach Wedding I would have told you that it’s not a color theme that I would put on the Beach. When I think of colors that that are perfect for a Beach Wedding I tend to pull from the surrounding elements of the Beach. Colors like Blue, Aqua, White, Pink, Orange, Ivory, Brown and Green. All colors that you will find at the beach. If you take a look at our Florida Beach Wedding Packages you will see that I pull directly from these colors.

Well as of today, I am adding Black and White to my list of Perfect Beach Wedding Colors! Mica and Bobby chose Black and White as their Beach Wedding Color Theme and boy did they pull it off. It was so simple, yet elegant and if I may say so…even Romantic!
