subject: Destin Weddings - Planning A Wedding In Destin [print this page]


Known as The World's Luckiest Fishing Village, Destin is a city located on the Emerald Coast in Florida. The city's most prominent features are its sugar white beaches and emerald colored waters which serve as the perfect setting for the thousands of Destin weddings that occur on the beaches there every year. If you have decided that you want a beach wedding in Destin, then you have your work cut out for you. Although planning a beach wedding requires more effort, the results will be well worth it. Here are a few tips to help make the process a little easier.

Try to work with a Destin wedding planner or coordinator who specializes in Destin beach weddings. They will have intimate knowledge of the area which will allow them to help you pick a spot that fits your needs. They will often have packages that you can choose from which can help reduce your work load. For example, a wedding coordinator may have a package that includes the minister, decorations, a photographer, and the filing of your marriage license which can cut your to-do list in half. The packages vary in service and price so it is a good idea to discuss what you need and get the one that matches the closest.

When picking out your wedding gown, you want to take both the weather and the surrounding area into consideration. Although Destin generally has good weather year round, there are days when it is cool out. For the most part, short sleeved or sleeveless dresses are good for Destin weddings. However, you will want to invest in a short jacket or shawl to cover up with should thing turn chilly. Since you'll be walking through sand, a long train may not be the best idea since it can get stained from the dirt on the ground.

If you want to save money, then consider having the reception in the same place as the wedding; on the beach. Many beaches in Destin have pavilions where your guests can socialize and eat. If there isn't one available, look into renting a tent. If you do have an outdoor reception, be certain to let your guests know so that they can dress appropriately. Additionally, make sure the beach has facilities for your guests to use otherwise you will need to rent a port-a-potty. When planning for Destin weddings don't be afraid to ask for help. It is your day and you want to do everything you can to make it perfect.
