There are many ways to personalize and customize a beach wedding or Florida vow renewal. Many couples opt to integrate elements from the seashore into their ceremony decor and that can be extended to a reception to follow the "I Do's". Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners based on Treasure Island on Florida's west coast, offer wedding and reception packages that can also be booked for vow renewal celebrations. They have many ideas on ways to integrate the beach theme into a reception space, some of the most popular are adding seashells to the centerpieces of the tables at the reception. Small shells and soft sand in vases can be filled with water and then a floating candle can be lit above. This is a seashore twist on a more traditional centerpiece design which is to submerge flowers like roses or dendrobium orchids in vases and then add the floating candle on top. Rustic lanterns sat on top of mock fishing nets add a nautical charm to tabletops, with the option to add a few starfish or seashells on the net. The colors chosen to accent the reception space can also mirror the ocean or the sea with shades of blue and green being particularly popular. Sash accents can be added to the chairs and the color scheme can extend through to other elements within the ceremony space such as table markers, favors, name cards, the seating plan, balloons, linens, and accent lighting. The cake is another opportunity to embrace the beachy theme, with underwater designs and eclectic designs like a creative sandcastle all proving to be both delicious and impressive. A modern twist of the reception cake is to serve a cupcake tower with a decorative top tier that can be cut. This allow the couple to enjoy the traditional cake-cutting ceremony and also perfectly portions the cake for family and friends.

As we ring in 2024, couples from the Sunshine State and further afield are looking to plan their big day on the shore. For Florida beach weddings and vow renewals, Suncoast Weddings has a range of packages that can all be customized. Suncoast Weddings has been crafting and designing ceremonies over many years. They take couples every step of the way from the first call all the way through to the "I Do's". Couples planning to tie the knot in 2024 often start their planning journey in 2023, so it is a good time to assess what the trends are in terms of Florida beach weddings and vow renewals as the New Year begins.

Florida beach weddings can include a nod to some of the more conventional wedding day traditions in unexpected ways, and planning a wedding or vow renewal in advance gives couples the opportunity to reflect on which parts of the ceremony they would like to follow tradition or be original. One of the traditions most often broken, on purpose, at a beach wedding, is to invite friends and family from different sides of the family to sit on opposite sides of the aisle. This is often the way seating is arranged in a traditional venue. At a beach wedding with Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners on Florida's west coast, beach wedding signs can be rented for the big day. One of the most popular signs states "Today, two families are becoming one, choose a seat, not a side". This actively encourages guests to mix and mingle as they watch the "I Do's", a great way to break the ice and get to know each other better. It is also the perfect way to even out the seating arrangement if one side of the family is represented more than the other. An alternative is to write on a chalkboard a similar simple message such as "please pick a seat and not a side" or "choose a seat, not a side, we're all family once the knot is tied".

Florida beach weddings offer a unique opportunity to weave elements of the seashore into a ceremony on the sandy beach. Seashells and starfish are some of the most popular elements for couples planning their beach wedding or vow renewal with Suncoast Weddings, premier wedding planners based on the west coast of Florida in Treasure Island. Other items include pearls and sand dollars. One of the most impactful ways to include seashells and starfish is to incorporate them into the bouquet and boutonnieres. Whereas starfish are typically added as accents to a floral bouquet, some stylish bouquets are crafted entirely from seashells, with a variety of shapes and colors to choose from. Likewise, although a boutonniere can be created from only seashells or a simple starfish with a colored ribbon, they are typically paired with a small floral arrangement, being based of style choices seen at a traditional wedding. Seashells and starfish can easily be selected as the main decor theme for a beach wedding or beach vow renewal. Shell or starfish can line the sandy aisle as aisle markers, with larger conch shells being the most popular choice as a seashell as they are distinctive and add a subtle blush color. Starfish can also be tied to the arch or attached to tikis to enhance the ceremony space. Florida beach wedding packages by Suncoast Weddings can all be tailored and adapted so each ceremony is unique. Elements of the decor can be interchanged such that aisle markers could be white starfish, brown starfish, a mixture of both, conch shells, grasses or any pattern blending the items together. Lanterns are also a popular aisle marker, they are typically filled with unlit candles or sand, seashells, and starfish.
