Each wedding ceremony is special from the vows, music, decor and attire...down to the guests' attire !!!
Whether you opt for a more formal setting or a casual one...
the Florida Coast beaches offer the perfect setting for a romantic Beach Wedding ceremony.
The vows are either repeated after the Officiate or they are given in the form of a scroll to be read by the Bride and/or Groom with "message-in-a-bottle" vows
(additional fee for bottles and vows on gold lamme' trimmed paper)
Some couples have the traditional wedding party. Instead of flower girls on the beach we have "seashell girls". tossing seashells from a basket along the beach..... the ring bearer carries a treasure chest to hold the rings
(additonal fee for shell basket and/or treasure chest)
Brides have been escorted by both parents, their child(ren), close friends. and dear ole' Dad !!.. .. the music is traditional or "your favorite"..
we've played the Beatles, Don Henley, Lonestar, Shania Twain, Enya, etc.....
When it's just the Bride and Groom we can have them come down separate boardwalks to the beach and meet in front of the aisle way.....
After the ring vows is when the Unity Heart of Glass is done.
Some couple ask the Mothers to get the sand;
it's then given to the bride and groom.
Children from previous relationships can be included in the ceremony -
The "Blessing Stones" are a big hit with the guests-
it involves everyone that attends the wedding !!!
The children are also included in this part of the ceremony.
The Best Man ( or your most long-winded guest) can be given a conch shell horn prior to the ceremony (additional fee for conch horn) -
when the couple are pronounced Husband and Wife... he/ she blows the horn
and gets a keepsake as well !!!
(The couple can only kiss as long as the horn is blown !! ha!)
You can also include other Family members or Friends in the ceremony ..
they can lead in a prayer, read a poem, sing....
whatever YOU want !!!
