Each "Sun and Sea Beach Wedding" ceremony, whether you're having a Jacksonville wedding
or a St Augustine wedding, is customized to fit the needs of the couple.
With our beach wedding package options, each wedding ceremony is different,
from the vows, music, and decor...down to the guests' attire!
The beautiful beaches of the First Coast ( St. Augustine and Jacksonville ) and Jekyll Island, GA.
offer the perfect setting for a romantic and unique Sun and Sea Beach Wedding ceremony.
We offer several wedding vows including Traditional, Oceanside/Beachside as well as
ring vows to choose from.......or create/write your own!!!!!
Children from previous relationships are included throughout the ceremony
as well as your guests......whether you have 2 or 200!!!!!
It will be a memorable day for EVERYONE!!!!!!
Each of the couples are given a packet of several vows/ring vows to choose from. The bride
and groom are welcome to add/delete any words to customize for their needs. They do not
have to use the same vow/ring vow—it's very common for us to get separate
envelopes/e-mails so the other will be surprised on their wedding day!
The vows are either repeated after the officiant or they are given in the form of a scroll to be read
by the Bride and/or Groom......with "Message-in-a-Bottle" vows!
(additional fee for bottles and vows on parchment or tropical paper).
Some couples have the traditional wedding party. Instead of flower girls on the beach, we have "seashell girls"
tossing seashells from a basket along the beach... the ring bearer carries a treasure chest
to hold the rings (additional fee for shell basket and/or treasure chest)
After the ring vows is when the Unity Heart of Glass sand ceremony is done.
Some couples ask the Mothers to get the sand; it's then given to the bride and groom.
The Hand Ceremony is beautiful and touching.
Children from previous relationships can be included in the ceremony - this part of the ceremony
is called "Family Promises". Some couples opt to bring a gift to present to the child/children
during the ceremony (ring, bracelet, necklace, etc.)
Children are also involved in other parts of the ceremony as well......
after all it is an important day for them too!!!!!
The "Blessing Stones" are a big hit with the guests. The bride and groom is given a Blessing Stone
and are asked to repeat a verse together after the Officiant. Then baskets of stones are passed
around to all the guests. After the couple is pronounced, the guests follow them
to the edge of the water and on the count of 3, everyone casts their stones
into the water, making a wish or a blessing for the "Happy Couple".
It involves everyone that attends the wedding!!!
You can also include other family members or friends in any of our beach wedding package ceremonies.
They can lead in a prayer, read a poem, or sing... whatever you want!
