For many couples, the idea of having a beach wedding sounds incredibly idyllic. After all, what is more romantic than saying €I do€ and celebrating eternal happiness on a pristine powder white beach with warm breezes, soothing sounds of gentle waves gliding onto shore, and crystal clear water shimmering like emeralds?
Destin Florida beaches have been the main attraction for a long time people who come from all over the world to enjoy a Destin Florida vacation. The beaches are soft, powdery, clean and white, and the sand is made up of special quartz which allows the water to have the beautiful colors that give the Emerald coast its name and world wide appeal as a tourist destination. Famous people such as Emeril Lagasse, Sheryl Crow, Mike Huckabee, Jerry Jones, and Britney Spears either have homes in the beautiful Destin area or are regular visitors.
The same elements that make Destin so popular with vacationers combine to provide the perfect setting for a beach wedding.
Destin is located in the Florida panhandle, just a convenient half-day drive or one-hour flight from Atlanta.
Destin offers visitors world class beaches combined with plenty of great places to stay, dine, shop, play, sun-worship and enjoy life in general to accommodate every taste and budget.
If you or someone you know is considering having their wedding on the beach, there are several advantages ( and one or two potential drawbacks) of having a beach wedding that you should consider as part of your decision making process.
We’ll discuss a few of them here so that when you make the choice to come to Destin for your wedding you’ll cruise through all the planning with ease and save yourself lots of stress. It’s actually pretty easy to have the perfect beach wedding if you have good information and follow a few basic steps.
Advantages to having your beach wedding in Destin:
1. Destin is a world class vacation location. Destin boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the USA.
2. Beach weddings in Destin often cost less than typical wedding venues. Unless you are booking a posh full-service beachfront wedding venue, (you can find resources for wedding venues at destin-florida-vacation.com) you can generally have a wedding ceremony right on the beach for free, or nearly so.
3. Destin Beach wedding travel options are wedding guest friendly.
Transportation to and from Destin is affordable, easy and convenient.
4. Excellent lodging opportunities for family and wedding guests.
One of the best ways to enjoy a visit to Destin is to rent a beach house or condo. Vacation Rentals are very popular and abundant in Destin. You can easily rent a home that will accommodate your bridal party or your whole family in style and comfort, often with a private pool and for much less than a hotel and with infinitely more charm.
For everything to go off without a hitch here are a few things to prepare for so you can avoid potential pitfalls.
1. Anticipate inclement weather. If your wedding is going to outdoors plan an alternative choice in case a rainstorm comes through.
2. Make lodging arrangements before announcing the date.
Destin’s Prime vacation season is in the summer, and while beach house rentals are everywhere, the homes that can accommodate large groups usually book well in advance.
3. Spend the money on things that will make your event easier and more fun for you. Do it yourself wedding planning can be overwhelming. Consider stress-free alternatives like hiring a Destin Wedding planner or contacting one of the resorts and having them put together a Destin wedding package that fits your budget and your group size.
