Pensacola beach is the perfect local if you are set on a beach wedding. With 52 miles of clean sandy beaches, crystal clean waters, and over 300 days a year of sunshine. It also offers a variety of hotels and larger style homes along the beach so your guests have a place to stay.

Things you may not need to consider with your traditional wedding take on added importance with a beach wedding. I’ve outlined some hints and tips to help:

1) Before you set the date (which can be very hard to change later) make sure to check on the weather reports in the area for tides (when they come in and out), average temperatures, when rain may be most likely, etc. Temperatures can be in the low 60’s from December until March in Pensacola.

3) There are quite a few events that take place yearly in Pensacola. You could plan your big day around one of these:

Mardi Gras Street Party in February

Jazz Festival in April

* July is the Blue Angels Air Show

September: Seafood is the theme during the Seafood Festival

* October is the Pensacola Interstate Fair
