Congratulations on your upcoming "Destination" Barefoot Beach Wedding in Florida!
Florida's Emerald Coast white sugar beaches set the perfect stage for a truly romantic Florida Barefoot Beach wedding ceremony.
Couples come from all over the country to exchange their vows of Marriage (mostly barefoot) on the soft white sugar sand beaches,
with the sunshine glistening on the emerald water and breath-taking sunsets as a backdrop.
Florida Barefoot Beach Weddings have become 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 Florida"Barefoot Wedding".
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.
There are several Barefoot Beach Wedding Packages in a variety of colors and schemes to choose from or create your own.
Children from previous relationships are involved throughout the beach wedding ceremony...it's an important day for them too!
Although our office is located in Fort Walton Beach between Pensacola Beach and Panama City Beach, we do service
Navarre Beach, Okaloosa Island and Destin as well as Fort Walton Beach and surrounding areas.

"Unity Heart of Sand Ceremony"
with our Original "Unity Heart of Glass"
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.
