We had discussed in an earlier post why beach weddings in the winter are especially appealing and fun to have.  One of the most important factors to consider for a winter beach wedding destination is the location of the beach. It cannot be stressed enough on choosing a place with a temperate weather throughout the year. In this post, we will look at some of the best destinations that you can have your winter beach wedding at.

If you are looking for a private beach wedding in the peak of winter, then search no more. Fiji’s Vatulele Island Resort is an excellent choice. Apart from having plenty of private beaches, it is set in a lush jungle, and has thatched roof bungalows that are separated from each other by more than twenty meters and they have easy access to the water.

Another exotic beach wedding destination is the Maroma Beach in the Yucatan Peninsula about 30 minutes south of the Cancun airport. The sand is like sugar and the water is crystal clear. You have the romantic Maroma Resort and Spa nearby for your lodging options.  There are other destinations in Mexico  too which are a good choice for a winter beach wedding. It’s not very far from home and its friendly people, amazing culture and beautiful landscaped will thrill the couple and their guests. Not to forget, Mexico also enjoys a warmer temperature in the winters.

For a destination closer home, consider Florida’s Fort Walton Beach.  You will find long stretches of gorgeous white sandy beaches and almost tropical like weather throughout the year.  Your guests would love to go back home with a tan during the peak of winter. Throw a little of fishing and a swim in the warm waters and this makes a perfect winter destination for a beach wedding.

Beach weddings and beach-themed weddings are definitely all the rage now. So, many newly engaged couples find themselves wondering what their options are for having a beach wedding. Well, it all depends on where you live and how much you want to spend.

Remember that a beach can be simulated near any body of water – it would be wonderful to make it happen near an ocean but a quiet pond may work amazingly well too.

Let us explore the range of available choices. You may want to pick a beach that is particularly meaningful to you as a couple either because you have already spent time there or because you want your life together to start in this beautiful locale. And as far as beautiful locales where it will be great to have a honeymoon right after the wedding you have to consider the Caribbean islands and Hawaii. The Caribbean and Hawaii are broad choices because even within that you have so many islands to pick from – also in both these cases you will still have to decide whether you want your ceremony in a quiet tucked away nook or in a resort’s gazebo or garden.

For reasons of time and money if you want to stay in the continental US you can decide between the beaches in Florida, California and Jersey Shore. These are all places with spectacular beach options and great scenery and may have the benefit that more of your friends and family can attend you wedding ceremony. Season and weather will affect the East Coast wedding venue choices, of course. You are not going to find it easy to have a January wedding in the Jersey Shore!

If all these destinations are not for you and you still want a beautiful ceremony by the water, feel free to explore your area thoroughly. You are more than likely to find a lake or a stream and with a little help and imagination you should be able to create the setting of your dreams.

So, start with a mental vision – where do you see yourself saying “I do”? And build your wedding around this image. It is totally worth following your dream for this special day in your life.
