With August coming to a close a beach wedding in Gulf Shores for fall seems like a great way to tie the knot. As many of you know this season was a good one but very hot. We saw a lot of short dresses this year and I think the heat attributed to those adorable shorter wedding dresses. But with fall coming we will see more longer gowns. Another great thing about fall is the tourists have all gone home and we’ll start seeing more couples and snowbirds coming into the area. This also means great deals for brides and grooms looking for condominiums and houses to stay at for their beach weddings. The rates for accommodations drops after Labor Day. So fall weddings in this area can be both affordable and more private. With the beautiful white sand beaches of Alabama you’ll enjoy strolling hand in hand with the one you love most. Especially when you’re walking down to the minister to say I do. This beautiful time of year brings better temperatures for an outdoor activities. This summer we saw a lot of hot days and warm afternoons. Like most happy couples were all grateful for the change in the season. The wedding season here does from spring into fall, with some winter weddings. Remember you will still need sunscreen regardless of the season. No one wants to walk down the aisle with a sunburn, although it’s mostly the grooms with sunglasses raccoon eyes. I know most of you who plan on coming to the beach this fall will be enjoying this beautiful time of year also known as Indian summer. I’ll be seeing you on the beach.

Our Saturday couple had been thinking about getting a Pensacola Beach wedding for a while. They were uniting their two families into one. They did want a choice of cheap beach wedding packages. No need to overspend to be happy. Our bride and groom both had children from previous relationships and they wanted the children to be part of the cermony. I went out to their condominium to speak with them and saw their beautiful wedding cake they had got from Publix in Gulf Breeze. The cake was an art deco style with blue crisscross stripes. The groom and the photographer went down to the beach to wait for the bride. Next was a procession of youth,  here comes the children in matching blue shirts. The groom told me he could not find shirts along the way from Louisiana so he stopped where they got the cake and bought the shirts. Amazing what you can find at Publix.  So this wedding on the beach was going along very smoothly. While we were standing by the Gulf of Mexico we saw dolphins very close to the shore. One of the girls thought the dolphins were sharks because of the fins they saw. Everyone got a giggle. The kids had been a little nervous but laughter can make almost anyone relax. Soon the lovely bride walked down the boardwalk and down to her adoring family. She looked beautiful in her gown and veil, we were blessed that day with a light breeze so as not to make her veil fly too much. That early in the morning there were only a few fishermen on the beach. So we had quite a bit of privacy. It was enjoyable to watch the children revealing in this moment as much as their parents. When we left them they were still on the beach and joined in that moment together. Some of them running up and down the beach reliving that moment of their ceremony in the sand.

A Perdido Key beach wedding has been a popular event for brides and grooms who were looking to get away from it all with Gulf Shores wedding packages. The privacy that you can attain while staying in beautiful Perdido Key is absolutely amazing. What separates this intriguing area from others is the lack of high-rise condominiums. There are more houses and shorter condominiums that do not disrupt the sky line as much. This has been proven to be something that many brides and grooms who want to get married in Florida are looking for. And who can blame them for wanting small beach wedding packages? When you can walk up and down the beach holding hands with no one around to disturb you it is priceless. The sand is dazzlingly white and warm and you know you cannot wait to take a seat and put your toes in the sand. This convenient area has plenty of restaurants, places to stay, nightlife and beautiful beaches to keep you entertained the entire time you were here. Every bride dreams of becoming a beach bride and having a destination wedding in Florida. So if you are thinking about having your ceremony on the sand look no further than beautiful Perdido Key. After your ceremony why not go down to the world famous Florabama and sit on the top deck to look out onto the Gulf of Mexico and enjoy your favorite beverage. Enjoy a cocktail will watching the waves gently wash on the shore while listening to the sounds of music enticing you to dance. It is truly relaxing. There are so many places to explore as first time husband and wife you shall be challenged to be bored. So when you are ready to take the plunge and say I do get us a call. We are waiting for you.

Gulf Shores weddings on the beach was a joy to behold with everyone but the bride dressed in lavender. Let me be the first to say there is nothing like a wedding on the beach with teenagers and these kids were in the mood to be on the beach. Teenagers lighten the whole mood especially when their full of energy and of course this group was no exception, bouncing down the stairs and creating mischief as they went. The bride looked lovely in her strapless white lace gown. The groom had some of the most beautiful blue eyes and think I have ever seen. What a handsome couple they made. They had chosen the Isle of Love package that has the heart in the sand. It was ideal for their small group of about 20. They picked the perfect date to have a wedding on the beach which had significance for them. Most families had gone home to get children ready for school in the coming two weeks. So when we walk down on the beach at sunset their work very few people around and we were at a condominium that had four towers. To be on that beach was barely any people on it was great and unexpected. Most of the time I tell brides and grooms to try to find a condominium that is not tall and has only one tower because of all the people that will be on the beach during your ceremony. But we got lucky today and it was fantastic. The two young ladies wore lavender dresses and the two younger guys were lavender shirts. And of course or groom wore a lavender shirt. It looks so nice up against the sand and surf. We did a couple of funny shots on the beach which is the young people really enjoyed and had some interesting poses to add to the fun.

If your hearts desire is to get married on Pensacola Beach? A wedding to dream about then look no further. We are here to help you have your special day on the sand. There are many things to consider for your beach wedding including any and all forms of makeup. I am sure some of you have noticed that false eyelashes have made a comeback in a big way. When you are getting married on the beach please remember to be careful that your eyelashes are not too heavy and we do recommend to have they professionally applied. Although you really should wear more makeup than you normally do for your wedding so photos make you look fabulous, you have to be careful by not applying your false eyelashes to the point where they do not look real. Recently one of our Pensacola beach brides had her eyelashes so thick that her photographs made her have a not very flattering look. Even though we can edit we cannot work miracles with badly applied false eyelashes. Her eyelashes were overdone to the point where she looked like she had paper eyelashes. Then we had another bride who had her eyelashes professionally applied and looked incredible. The cosmetologist that applied her eyelashes used a lighter hand and created a softer look that photographed perfectly. It was a hot summer so eyelash adhesive was not holding quite as well as it should have. We saw many false eyelashes not behaving as they should have. It was rough on the brides. Brides who took the time to have extra mascara instead seemed to fare better. Everyone face makeup for the most part held up a rather well. Most people were generous with the sunscreen so brides looked beautiful with the soft blush of sun. All in all not a bad summer for makeup.

Gulf Shores wedding can be an exciting event in couples life. Starting out with each other is like a new adventure. While you’re on your journey together here is some food for thought. Always be truthful to each other and to others. It is the best way to build a great relationship with your new husband or wife and the people around you. Getting married on the beach with the one you love and the people who love you can be a compromise sometimes. Getting everyone in the same place at the same time can be difficult. And sometimes there is no compromises to be made. Some people might not be able to make it do to other obligations. You must accept this. Remember your wedding is about you and your partner. If invitees cannot make your wedding and urge you to reschedule, politely refuse. If they are unwilling to reschedule you must accept it. Marriage is a compromise, you cannot have it all your way. When you learn to compromise you will find how much the world can open for you. Maybe your husband to be does not want wear a suit for your beach wedding because it is going to be hot. Do not be demanding and make him wear one. He does got a point. Maybe he wants you to wear really short wedding gown. Explain to him that is not really your style. Plus it can be windy and that could be bad. Above all do not be rude to your wedding guests and others. Everyone is here for you. Even though the stress of planning a wedding can get difficult do not take it out on the people you both love the most. Remember you have people who are going to help you with your wedding so be kind to them because they really want to try to make you happy.

This Pensacola event turned out better than expected for our bride and groom who wanted a Beach wedding. This happy couple had been staying at a beach house a couple of blocks from the Gulf of Mexico and had originally wanted a house on the beach but was unable to afford it because of mid summer prices  They had approximately seven teenagers with them. The second day they were there the refrigerator went out and completely quit working. The owners offered to bring them a cooler but with seven teenagers that was not going to happen, could you imagine that many people with 1 cooler, I do not think so. So the owners upgraded their accommodations to a beach house on the Gulf of Mexico. Talk about reversal of fortune, I really do not think it gets any better than that. We had their beach wedding right there in front of the house to the delight of the bride and groom. It was a beautiful home with plenty of space for all those kids who spent the majority of their time on the deck. We all walked down to the beach together with the groom and seven teenagers in tow. Soon are bride came walking across the whites sand with her daughter. They both wore white dresses and looked beautiful. The ceremony went off perfectly by the gentle waves. Afterwards the kids showed just how much energy a person can accumulate in minutes. We got some great pictures. One teenager had the youngest boy on his shoulders running do the sand. If I could bottle that kind of energy! Soon it was time to say our goodbyes to a fantastic family who are joining together from two families. A really joyful day.

When you are thinking about cheap beach wedding packages? In Pensacola the last thing on your mind is seeing the skies fill with dark clouds. While that is exactly what happened to us yesterday. We were getting ready for the wedding and it was just a bride and groom, no guests, when the sky suddenly started getting dark. It looked like it was in town nowhere close to the beach wedding but before we knew it it was almost upon us. We were able to get the wedding completed and then the wind started picking up. We were starting to get posed pictures when the wind picked up a small tent and threw in across the road to a parking area. We were running back to the condominium as quickly as we could. Our bride and groom are laughing the entire time while me and the photographer were a little nervous. Yikes. I think they were daredevils at heart and love an adventure. This ceremony on the sand still happened because we kept our wits about us. Sometimes when you least expect it unusual events will take place while you are trying to have your wedding on the beach. Always remember that no matter what happens you can still get married that day. We have learned to be flexible throughout the years and have endured all kinds of different weather. It is rare to have an unusual storm like that at sunset. Most of the time at sunset is really pretty with touches of pink, orange, purple and blue in the sky. It truly one of the most relaxing times to get married on the beach. The scenery cannot be matched anywhere. Our beaches are as beautiful as any island on earth. Come see for yourselves and you will not be disappointed I promise you.
