with the emerald water and breath-taking sunsets as a backdrop along the Gulf of Mexico.
Florida Barefoot Beach Weddings are becoming more and more popular for couples of ALL ages.
The "Florida Destination Beach Wedding" is quite memorable for the guests as well.
Many of the Out of State couples are surprised at how many Family members and Friends travel to come to their beach wedding. in Florida/
Who would pass up a week-end at the beach?  (Even Uncle Fred and Aunt Peggy may show up) ha!

Just as each couple has specific needs, each barefoot beach wedding ceremony is "customized" for the couple.
Children from previous relationships are involved throughout the beach wedding ceremony...it's an important day for them too!

The original Unity heart of glass Sand Ceremony
Blessing stones involve all of your friends and family
Blessing Stones

During the ceremony the Bride and Groom each take a stone from a basket and repeat
a verse together. The guests are then asked to take a stone.

After the couple are pronounced Husband and Wife, everyone follows them to the edge of the water to make a wish or a Blessing.
The couple counts to 3 and everyone casts the stones into the water at the same time

The ripples that are made represent everyone's paths crossing and bring love and good wishes not only for the couple, but for anyone that they come into contact with.
(Some couples opt to use seashells)
*** The verse will be furnished at the time of booking as these are original verses by Barefoot Weddings Inc.
