A Bride's Guide To Planning Affordable Beach Weddings Florida

By Jordan Schmidt


If you have just started planning your wedding celebration, it is likely that you are now realizing the many decisions you will have to make and the costs that come with each of these choices. While it can be fun to dream about planning your celebration on an unlimited budget, the fact is that an increasing number of brides are looking for ways to plan affordable beach weddings Florida. Here are some tips that you can use if you are working with a limited budget.

Budgeting may not be the most enjoyable thing to do but it really can help you save money in the long run. It can help break down a large overall expense into smaller, manageable amounts that can be easier to keep track of. Just remember to prioritize where you want to spend your money and identify what areas you are willing to spend more on. Keep in mind that many couples pay more for their venue and food than they will on other aspects of their special day.

The time of year can have a huge impact on the cost of your wedding. Generally, the high season, as it is known, extends from mid-December into April although in some areas it often lasts longer. When in doubt, ask what the high season is when you are speaking with a particular venue. Keep in mind that the price increase can influence costs for everything from hotels to caterers.

Beach venues can be beautiful and there are many to choose from. You will want to look at each site individually. Keep in mind that some of the more popular beaches will book up well in advance of your date. You may find another beach that is equally beautiful but which may be less well-known. By being flexible with your event site, you may find that you are able to keep costs under control.

Some sites will be more expensive because more is included in the price. For example, some may have several meal options available or include ceremony officiants or other service providers. You might want to add up the various costs to find out if a particular site is more affordable in the end. It can also help you keep track of where your money is being spent and what it is buying you.

If you have your heart set on a particular location in Florida, you may want to ask the site managers if there are any options that can lower your costs. For example, many couples are now planning to have their celebrations on Friday nights as booking on this day can often save quite a bit of money. It may also make it easier to book the photographer and other service providers that you would like to have working for you.

Flowers can be beautiful and very expensive. If you have your heart set on real blossoms, making sure that they are in season can help keep costs down. Out of season flowers often have to be grown in controlled environments and this can mean that they bring a big price tag with them. Talking about your options with your florist can help you keep prices down in this area as well.

While you may worry about how much everything costs, if you are flexible and resourceful you may not have to worry. A few changes to your plans may mean that you end up getting the event you want without being thrown into debt at the beginning of your marriage.
