Great Florida Beach Weddings…Ideas For You!

Florida Beach Weddings are a wonderful choice for couples who want to tie the knot in paradise. With so many beautiful beaches to choose from it’s hard to pick one, so I have a few ideas for you.

Favorite Places:

Lover’s Key State Park, near Ft. Meyers has become a popular spot for saying I do, they even have a gazebo for wedding ceremonies. If you’re all about nature, you’ll love this wildlife haven. The park is home to dolphins, manatees, bald eagles, and roseate spoonbills (my fave).

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park:
Located on Key Biscayne, the park is home to a Lighthouse (built in 1825) the oldest standing building in Miami/Dade county. The park offers a beautiful setting for your beach wedding. And you’re not far from Miami, a “hot” spot for a honeymoon! Visit Florida State Parks to learn more about our wonderful park system.

Your Favorite:
